Love...

Chris Tomlin's "Love" song is running in my head...maybe it is due to it being Valentine's Day...or maybe it is because the Watoto Children's Choir is in it and I am heading to Watoto in a bit (it is my church)...or maybe it is because I just feel love in my life.

Who knows.

All I know is that I crashed last night trying to download pictures on facebook...and I was hot as all get out, too. And the fan was on me...soo....not sure what was going on.

Ashley is doing much better- PG! We missed her at Club but it was worth it because she is getting better!!!! Thank you for praying!!

Nothing super exciting or different at Club except that as usual, it went well and everyone left feeling blessed. Kwo-Ber (formerly known as Kwo-Tek - I refuse to call him "Life is Hard" so "Life is Good" is his name now) laughs and smiles every time I call him Kwo-Ber. Sunday stands, looks at me, and waits for me to crouch down and open my arms for a hug before she runs at me and stands to let me hug her. Eunice just waits for me to scream "EUNICE!" everytime...she acts like I embarass her, but she laughs. Opio Patrick Filda admires Pato and has started dressing like him, wearing sunglasses like he does and even wants to hangout with him. How parents are coming to get help because they don't want to live their lives like they have been and want something else...something better. Baby Barbara wants me to hold her all the time - the little girl who freaked out and cried when she would see me...now cries when I leave....

Nothing big....just blessings.

But with blessings there are hard times...I guess to maybe realize the blessings are truly blessins.

Jennifer's aunt, who was the closest person to her mother, passed the other day. This changes EVERYTHING for Jennifer. She has no family now to help her. Lots of prayer on what can be done next to help her children and self. Lots of prayer.

Karamella knows she is old and weak...yet she passionately and lovingly raises three of her grandchildren with all her might, Erik, Sunday and Moses. She is aware she won't be around forever - so she has planned for who will take care of the kids after her. She had me take a picture of the kids and their uncle so we know who the kids should go to when she passes. It made me sad to think of life without Karamella.

Odong's mother ignorantly refuses to be a real, godly mother to her child. The child is defiant, stubborn and indifferent to life...how can she not realize her actions are hurting her child's future? It isn't his fault for how he is behaving....the root of the problem is her parenting...when will excuses cease and responsibility increase? Why does it feel like we are talking to a wall? Why doesn't she show up when she is supposed to for parent meetings?

We had all of our children attend today....and some parents. Which made food run out just in time. Perfect.

Dinner at Kope Cafe was definitely needed today - had no strength to cook tonight. PG Ashley wanted to get out of the house.

I am still trying to understand exactly what love is....but I think I am getting closer and closer to understanding it. However, I really don't think I will fully understand it until the day I see Jesus face to face. For real. I try to understand it here in life...but it seems like I will just keep on striving without an end....but that is a good thing...I strive, I race on towards my Savior...I won't stop until I stand RIGHT before Him...this journey is interesting, to say the least....very interesting.
