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.

Van Gogh's Inspiration

If, at the right time, you are just opening your eyes after a brief respite and happen to notice the sky as you recline, you might see clouds in a certain, well, cloudy formation similar to something our dear Vincent would have portrayed. Then your vision will clear and the mystical calling of the moment will have faded in to the background of other, louder voices.

Just as well, if you are just opening your eyes from said rest, and find yourself looking at a backdrop that allows it, you may see lines on your eyes. I do not mean problematic signs (at least, I mean not to mean them; I may need to consult a specialist, after all) but, rather, lines that may be the protective film of the eye. It will follow your gaze as you look from left to right and from top to bottom. The only way you can see the lines is if you retreat behind your eyeballs, to watch the world on the best IMAX screens created. When you catch the glimpse, you will nearly simultaneously miss your mark. Not to worry, if you are patient, and tolerant to see using your peripheral vision, then you will be just fine.

The Women's Conference ended Thursday. It was very warmly received by the ladies in the community! We got to Accra Friday, and we are all tired from the trip down, and (for the team) from the activities and traffic of Saturday. With that said, I rested all day and am still ready to crash right now. This, then, will be another shorter post. I did not intend for two short posts to be so near each other.

The team leaves Sunday evening, after which I will be ready to lapse into a mini coma. Monday we leave for Kumasi to get some repairs don to our car. It has been through a lot, but it is still holding on well. We may be back in Nkwanta by Friday.

Do remember to pray for the team's smooth flight back to the U. S., that they do not lose their baaggage. and that they don't forget what they have seen, heard, and learned during their time here.
