"let me explain, no, there is too much, let me sum up"

For those "Princess Bride" lovers out there, you might find a chuckle out of the title of this post. I couldn't think of a more applicable title. Moving on...

It's been two days since coming back from Rwanda and I am back in the familiar place of trying to put everything into words. I would say that I could just explain it with pictures, buuuuuuut I lost my iTouch somewhere in the guest house in Rwanda, thus losing the majority of my pictures and videos. Anywho, just like last year's Uganda trip, I'm having difficulty putting into words something that so drastically shook my world (in a good way). The following posts will be my ramblings and thoughts of all the God did and all the ways that He revealed so much, but for now I will attempt to give a short summary of my time in Rwanda.

God showed up BIG TIME.
He allowed me to see glimpses of all that He is doing in Rwanda.
As a result...
I'M GOING BACK FOR AT LEAST A YEAR IN AUGUST!

That's the gist of it. The fact that I'm going back in August, Lord willing, kept me from bursting into tears on the plane as we were taking off from Rwanda. Just like I said last year, I left a part of my heart in Africa. It's impossible to leave with your whole heart...IMPOSSIBLE. I miss the dirt up my nose. I miss sleeping with mosquito nets. I miss hearing goats across the street. I miss those bright brown eyes of the kids. What a strange heart God has given me.

More posts to follow!
