Sometimes, right in the middle of the battle, we forget what we are fighting for and the odds look really bleak. Today I forgot why we are moving to middle-of-nowhere Africa where the roads are dirt and there is no cocoa powder. Staying home in warm sunny comfortable South Africa felt much safer… until I remembered what I want out of life. I remembered who I would do anything for. I remembered the person I want to be and the men I want them to become. I remembered that they will never know how to face obstacles unless they see mommy do it first.
I remembered that I was given love and that “sharing is caring.” I remembered that who I am has the potential to change the world, if I can conquer the fear that holds me back. I remembered that I am committed to sharing this adventure with an amazing man. I remembered that often the ideas people think are crazy are the ones that change people’s lives. I remembered that I love Africa and the people in it. I remembered how far He has brought us already. I remembered that having faith is having a real life. Without faith, there really is no adventure at all. No journey. No opportunities. No risks. No failures. Nothing to celebrate.
Let’s have a little faith, people. Today I’m going to put one foot in front of the other. You?
Luv,
Kristy
