So a particular person has been complaining that I haven't updated my blog. ;) You know who you are (cough*marc*)! It's been crazy since I've been back from Africa. Sam and I have been working on getting my video footage captured so I can edit it and make a movie out of it. I am even hoping to make a slideshow but I will need everyone's pictures to start that. I'm anxious to get my pictures up and I've been trying but there are just so many and they all have stories behind them. Maybe I should just post them with nothing, but what fun is that? :)
Well on top of trying to get back into my normal schedule there have been a lot of things in my personal life to deal with. My ex called me today and left a message that he has a terminal heart disease and would like prayer. And of course I called him back and found out the particulars. He has Primary pulmonary Hypertension, it's something I haven't even researched yet. But apparently some school is doing studies on it and if he gets picked for study they will pay for all the treatments. This is what we're praying for. Otherwise it's $170,000 a year for the treatments to stop the progression of this disease. It felt good to talk to him again. He's married and seems quite a settled person. I can imagine this causing a lot of fear and his wife must be a strong woman to stand by him. It seems weird to say his wife... But I have to say that I was genuinely happy for him and quite relieved to hear that he was married and that things outside of his health were going so well.
And well I have to say that I'm glad to be home, I'm wanting to be in my routine already but that'll take a week or so... I am desperate to get my pictures ready to post. I'm still working on that. So please have "saint-like" patience with me. (wink, wink Marc). Gosh I miss ya Marc! I'm so glad you're able to chat with me daily online or I don't know what I'd do. And thanks for your listening ear. You really have helped me make sense out of some things that I was having a hard time understanding.
Sadly my 15 min break is over and I must get back to work. :) Tonight's youthgroup, I can't wait. I've missed my youth kids! Tomorrow night is our Share-a-dish where the team can share our experiences in Africa! Then Thursday Sam and I are gonna continue working on the video footage. Friday we're having a party for Tony who passed his GED! Go Tony! And Saturday I think Rach and I are going out shopping. So gosh I have no idea when I can work on pictures. Maybe in the evenings before bed. Hopefully by Sunday I'll be able to post them :) But I'll try to keep writing in my blog.
Bye
