Ok, sorry it took me so long to conclude, but Easter weekend kept us busy and on the road.
It was weird being in Zambia. Being there, it was like we had never left. Being back in the USA, it's like we were never there. They are two different worlds.
We could never have just randomly taken a trip to Zambia. Cloud paid for our airfare and my parents paid for travel expenses along the way. Both sets of grandparents kept our kids for 2 weeks, giving up their entire Spring Break to chase them around. Wes and Laurie and my sister and her family cooked for us, drove us around, and gave of their time on short notice to accommodate us and our needs. We could never have gone without all of this help.
So, in conclusion, I'll share the song lyrics of one of my new favorite songs by Matthew West, called "The Motions."
____________________________________________________________________
This might hurt
It’s not safe
But I know that I’ve gotta make a change
I don’t care
If I break
At least I’ll be feeling something
‘Cause just ok
Is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life
I don’t wanna go through the motions
I don’t wanna go one more day
Without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I DON'T WANT TO SPEND MY WHOLE LIFE ASKING
WHAT IF I HAD GIVEN EVERYTHING?
Instead of going through the motions
No regrets
Not this time
I’m gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love
Make me whole
I think I’m finally feeling something
Take me all the way
Take me all the way
Take me all the way

After reading about your trip to Zambia, I am once again reminded of how good we have it in the United States. God bless you for being willing to give that up to spread the word of God to the Zambians.
