oh swaziland



(ben, jean, and dave)


on sunday night, our team swazi reunited and had dinner with ben rodgers (who leads children's cup in swaziland) and his in-laws dave and jean ohlerking (the founders of children's cup international).

i honestly can't put into words how i felt that night. how my veins rushed with pure adrenaline and joy with basically everything that came out of their mouths.

all i can say is that
1. i miss swaziland so much, it physically hurts.
2. ben said swaziland is now allowing international adoptions. will they allow me to adopt senzo and his sisters?????
3. i love every chick on team swazi. they are the most uplifting, encouraging, spirit-filled, loving, and obedient women i will ever know in my entire life.
4. seeing everyone from swaziland just reminded me of how God spoke to me there. i know when i blogged about my trip, i stopped before a very important day that changed my life forever. one day i shall resume and share.....
5. i'm not done with swaziland. not by a long shot.
6. just praying i know how i can serve the Lord the best, get to know Him more, and that everything i do brings glory to Him.
