Homesick

God's word reminds us that this world is not our home. Do you ever feel like a stranger...like an alien...like you're not sure where to park for a while? It's really a GOOD thing. I don't want to be settled/complacent. But why is it so hard sometimes? And how on earth do you explain it to someone?!! Maybe my blog will help you understand. I hope you enjoy.

Sarah and Joshua had birthdays this week. I decided to throw them a party and invited a couple other missionaries. As it turns out, this is the FIRST birthday party EITHER of them has ever had. Look at the joy on Joshua's face as he opens his first ever birhtday present!! Ugandans don't celebrate birthdays in general. There is just no money for frivolous celebrations. My guard, Edward, doesn't even know when his birthday is! He just says he counts the years.  Posted by Picasa
