Play For Hope

There is a strange deflation happening inside me as I prepare to come home.  Africa is so familiar to me now that the adrenaline no longer rushes and the feeling in the air does not have the romance it used to have.  It’s like any relationship, the passionate fervor of the young and in love is replaced with a deep knowing that sustains the heart.  Today I was able to spend some time alone, walking the streets running a few errands for friends.  I popped in my headphones and fired up some old school mellow stuff - David Gray, White Ladder - and took the back roads so that I would have some quiet.  One thing I LOVE about “the land of a thousand hills” is that there is always an amazing view. 

I am satisfied as I walk; content that I have done good, not damage.....and I have joy, not regret.  You might wonder how one can come do work in Africa and have regret.  The answer is only known to those that have known Africa below the surface.  We know that there are no answers to Africa, only more questions...so we do the work of God and we ask Him to bless it.  And that is what I feel I have done here: God’s work.  I trained some coaches who are working with over 200 homeless, addicted, and abused children.  That is a beautiful thing in my heart...no matter what country I am in.  So, as Sting said, I put the message in the bottle, and send it out.  Where it lands has more to do with the ocean than it does with me. (-:  Thank you to everyone who helped me do this.  I am coming again to continue the training in December, so if there is anyone out there that wants to support me, hit me up with an email here or check me on Facebook and be a part of this amazing thing.  God Bless you guys.

ps...we’re also looking for coaches that are interested in coming in December, but commitments are needed soon, so if you are interested, shoot me an email soon.  (-:
