Oh My...

This past month has been.....stretching (to say the least). My whole life has felt like it's being pulled in a million different directions and my body just can't seem to do it. My mind has been a torrent of thoughts going as fast as the speed of light, only settling for a second before another one come crashing through. Thoughts like:
"Why am I working here?"
"I only have x days left here"
"I'm going back to the States soon!"
"Soon I'll get to see my best buddies and spend Christmas with them!"
"Nicki's getting married!!!"
"Why are they being like that....why do they have to tell me how many days I have left before I leave my beloved Africa??"
"Why don't they understand? Or at least try to? Because they never could. Never. Why do they act like they do? They can't know...they can't know what its like to feel happy and sad at the same time. What it's like to have your heart being ripped in two because of your love for two different places."

Good things have happened though...lots of them.

laughing so hard I cry
falling asleep during my birthday party only to wake up to realize that's what everyone else was doing

playing with my baby brother Joshua
falling to the ground
being dropped and then landed on by Fox and still able to laugh our heads off

tro-tro rides
realizing that I'm okay with what's happening in my life

laughing at nothing and everything
saying something that left Fox speechless and with no immediate comeback

being in Ghana for the time God has given me
