Hiatus

Here is the deal, glockenspiel--

I need to go offline for the next few weeks. The remaining time in my internship is filled with busy-ness, fatigue, and planning. I am seeing a team of short-term individuals to the States tomorrow, as they have been here for 10 days. If I failed to mention it to you, that is because I have been extremely preoccupied!!! They leave Wednesday night, then my parents and I will fly to see my younger brother finish high school. Even as I write, I'm dozing off far too frequently than is acceptable.

With that said, I plan to resurface again. The 26 of June seems reasonable; as I will have recently re-entered my first culture by then. This is not an intentional disconnection with you, but rather an attempt to maintain my long-term sanity, thus empowering myself to return to you with a new, fresh state of mind. I may post the occasional picture, but writing will be kept to a strict minimum.

Do continue to pray for me, that God should give me wisdom and show me more of his character, and that the plans he has for my family would come to pass.

God bless you with his truth and call you to his glory as long as you are his own. Live in Love.
Fati says hi.

Best of 2012

Here images of note during the past year (since July):



Clouds in the sky during the month of July



An evening look at the Ghanaian sky



One of my dogs, Ccino (aka Cappuccino), sleeping in an odd position



After one particular, and each, rain in Nkwanta



Birthday spot a la plage



Progress on the Nkwanta Leadership Empowerment Center



A beautiful sighting along the path returning from the village of Shiare



Macaroons gone horribly wrong



An owl (deceased), found in our front yard one morning



A reminder of our priorities

Now, may the Lord Himself clothe you in His everlasting love, so that your life will be, this year, an undeniable example of His grace and mercy, to the glory of God the Father. Amen.

Ever Hear A Song

and you realize that your heart knows it already?

Like your heart is singing for the second time a tune which has come to your ears only now,

then your mind remains in wonder while your soul second your heart, and your spirit says, as the Hebrews, amen;

so at last your body rejoices outwardly with this uneven although mostly approving response to its inward and through-ward masters, while the tune may have begun already to fade into the background, and your heart marks the second tally and the ears, though twice the heart and haughty-high, lag once behind?

My apologies for the blog delay, folks. The electricity went out last night and I couldn't get my hands on the wireless modem. It rained heavily and constantly, too, for somewhere in the vicinity of 5 hours...at least that's when I stopped thinking about it. That was actually the first one we've had in Nkwanta since arrivin in early July. Yesterday, I spent some time at the keyboard; it was a gift given to me last year by my parents :) and now that I'm here, well, it finds its home with me! Later in the morning, I swept my room to lessen the possibility of aggravating my allergies. I moved around alot, and I think I was productive although I have not the slightest clue as to what filled my time, for when I next took notice of myself and surroundings, time had hurried into the afternoon. I had intended to study for the upcoming teaching module. I will be teaching the book of Colossians so, of course, I need to be as familiar with it as possible. I know not which day I will teach, because the module lasts three weeks, beginning this next Monday. For this good work, then, I will prepare myself as well as I am able.

Today, perhaps, will be filled with work. Whether out of doors or in, is immaterial at present. For whatever you do, whether you eat or drink or whatever, do it all to the glory of God. I wonder if I can take a nap to the glory of God. Or keep my dogs from breaking out of the yard. Worth a try.

Live in Love. God is Love. Get the Drift?
