I didn't even realize how much my soul needed this weekend. I'm not talkin about the surface heart stuff...but deep within my soul. It secretly longs for these interactions and feels starved at times. This weekend fed my soul and filled the so called void. Mom & I hosted Joseph & Marte Camara. They run the IBR (Institute Biblique Reed) in Bougouni...my home for so many years. My parents taught at that same school back in the day and I spent many of my growing up years there. When I think of my childhood "home" this is the place I picture with its rustic buildings, abundance of mango and cashew trees and church. Talking & laughing, drinking Arabic tea and discussing the progress of the church was so memorable. I am so proud of the work my parents did while there. They helped train Joseph & Marte and now to see them in such a position of leadership today is a beautiful thing. Totally makes all the challenges worth it! No regrets here!!!!! I'm wondering...what are the secret longings of your heart that are needed to feed your soul for Kingdom work?

Secret Longings...
