Epilogue - August 13 - Humbling

People are always asking me, "How was your trip to Africa?" I've really struggled with how to answer. While it was fun, awesome, beautiful, sad, exhausting, life changing, none of those words really feels like the right answer.

I think the answer I like best is "humbling". I've always tried to live my life to be grateful for what I have and appreciate the small things in life, but truthfully - I don't do a good job.

I will try be thankful for receiving all gifts - even if it's just a balloon.

I will try be grateful that I can dance - even if I'm barefoot and it's raining.

I will remember to thank the Lord - even if I'm not in a big modern church.

I will try to be welcoming - even (or especially) to those I haven't yet met.

I will be grateful when I get to my destination - even if the road was a little rocky.

I've already started saving for a return trip. I can't wait to return.

Thanks for reading my blog. I hope it gives you a little insight into Malawi.
