I stole this photo of Jesse off of the blog
I love the photo because it's just so very Jesse.
He told me that floating down the river on that warm and rainy day he was thinking about what it means to surrender to God and trust the current he has under us.
I like that I learn from my children about how to follow God.

I'm sure you're so proud. He's grown into quite a young man! Thanks for the email. I won't clog your inbox any further than it is. I'm headed to amazon to buy that book as we speak. I'll stay in touch for sure! Ashe, ashe, ashe naleng!
I LOVE this photo!!! And I love even more what Jesse said about it. So cool.

Oh, I miss that one. Beautiful photo, good words.
Your words, too, Lisa. Very true. I'm sorry that I sound so terribly dramatic lately... it's been kind of overwhelming. Ha, I wish I knew better words. Hard things. But you're right, it means we're alive. Hearts that are awake.
And yeah, anything involving Africa is about a million times more intense and important than tiny things I am anxious about; good perspective.
Drama isn't always bad, Cari. And I didn't mean to sound like that issues other than Africa's aren't intense or important. It's just that we can't wait for a less intense reality before we begin to learn to cultivate peace and faith in the midst of it all.
Responding to what you wrote at the very end: "It's just that we can't wait for a less intense reality before we begin to learn to cultivate peace and faith in the midst of it all." How have you found the ways to do this? I am in such a big learning curve on this one. If you have the time, any thoughts would be helpful.
