Sept. 29th, Monday 7:15am Panera Bread – Hermitage It’s shocking how easy re-entry has come – other than slightly odd sleeping patterns. I am NOT a morning person, so the fact I’m out of my house, in public, this early in the morning is Twilight Zone material. I fear returning to the way things were before [...]

Sept. 26th, Friday We are now on the runway in Amsterdam heading to Memphis, then Nashvegas. There have been so many special moments. I know I’ve learned a lot, but it will take time to process it all. I don’t have any more clarity on the job front. But I know that will come as [...]

Sept. 25th, Thursday The rest of the day involved shopping at the hotel gift shop and grazing at the buffet. Uh, I should have introduced my system to American food a little slower. I felt like a woman 9 months into a pregnancy of quadruplets. Finally around 10:30pm we headed back to the airport for [...]

Sept. 23rd, Tuesday I slept well, but am still very weak. I didn’t think I’d make it to breakfast and asked Faye to pray over me. I was fighting tears during her prayer. Exhaustion makes me weepy. After breakfast we got in our taxis and drove to the next village. As I stood in the [...]

Sept. 18th 6:15am. Wow. I slept great! Thank you, Lord! I am analyzing my thoughts and feelings, asking the Lord to meet me here. I am overwhelmed at the poverty, the smells and how EVERYTHING is different. And I do mean everything. Just going to the bathroom is an adventure. As we learned in Cross-cultural training, [...]
