Below is a journal entry from my last trip to Africa. This entry was the day after my birthday.

Last night we went to "African Footprints" for my birthday and it was completely amazing. The people on staged portrayed their culture through upbeat dancing and singing. It was purely fantastic. It helped me not forget how truly beautiful this country is. And made me realize how at home I feel here. The girls I went with started singing the birthday song to me on the way out of the theatre and before you knew it the whole crowd was singing happy birthday. It was one of the best birthdays EVER. Coming back to our cottage seemed so normal, and so homely. I am so glad that God has blessed me with a heart for this continent. Its exactly where I want and am suppose to be. I am total denial that I will be going back to the States this month. I really want to stay longer...
