Ollie ollie oxen free!

I

AM GOING

TO AFRICA!

just trying to let it sink in. for me.

I've been putting off writing about it because I wanted this to be perfect before I exposed myself. Perfectly written, perfectly spelled, perfectly funny, perfectly touching, perfectly inspiring.
Then it hit me --> that's stupid. What a terrible and distracting goal - to achieve perfection.

God put us here to love people.

So this is me loving you. Showing you my insides. Not perfected. Just being.
Being loved. Being Love.

I love when "it" hits you. Like heaven opened up and gave you a peek. What a wonderful "being"...loved...love! Sometimes i wonder how it could possibly get better than this... then my kids show me another glimps of heaven. I love that "love" is going to Africa. What an amazing revelation. May God bless you super abundantly above all you ask or think.

Someone told me once; there is no worse sickness for the soul, than a pretense of perfection. Which, I wish there was another o word between pretense and perfection so I could shorten that phase. Seems like it would be fitting.

Thank you for sharing this. I can't wait to see how love will go before you and all the wonderful ways you will take it to those who need it so desperately.

Sharon, you are so right, and such a great writer.

I'm so thrilled to be going with you.
