We've officially moved into Andi's. It really is rather cozy. Friendly. I'd say warm, but it's really much more cool. She's wonderful.
I feel rather extravagant though. Regardless, I'm well fed, in good health, and now there's air conditioning in one room. My scalp has fully dried for the first time since we've been here. Last night I was legitimately cold, scrambling for a blanket in my midnight stupors. And it felt so good. I woke up ready for the day. Prepared. As much as I feel like I haven't done enought (because by comparison, everyone's always on the move here), this not doing enough is still exhausting. I really don't know how everyone lives in motion here.
I think it lets me realize how incredibly blessed we are. I am.
I just finished Rob Bell's "Jesus Wants to Save Christians." He speaks of the empires and their feelings of entitlement and the chaim of accumulation and fear. A lot to think about.. avoiding the entitlement..
As much as I didn't assume it to be a possibility, these kids recharge me. Their silliness abounds. They are a delight and irresistible. Every single one.
Chapel is beautiful. Their play is beautiful. They are beautiful. I don't know how we couldn't spen time off with them. I feel very blessed to be here. They are like no other.
