Two years ago...

I have time to think now. Think about the past, present and maybe most importantly the future. Some people tell me to move on, " don't think about the past too much". As much as I have to let the clinic go, I do think it's good to look back and reflect on the past 4+ years. The good times, the bad times, the things I would have done differently, etc. I decided to scroll through my blog a bit and I came across a blog post from September 14, 2007, written on a Friday afternoon discussing highlights and lowlights from that week. Reading it is a good reminder of common issues during my time in Sierra Leone, both things I miss and things I don't miss. Most of all, the little boy's smile still gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. I miss the kids.

It is always good to reflect back on the happenings of our past, there is a lot we can learn, and it will give us strength to believe God for even greater things ahead, but not to dwell on them in excess, because in Christ it is all about looking forward to the future of the good things that He has in store for us, and I know that there are lots, and lots of good things in store for you Sandra. Remember always that the steps of a righteous man/woman are ordered of the Lord, and He is in total control. We are proud and truly blessed to have had a part in your life, and just think of all those you will be proud and blessed to have had a part in their lives as well!

I remember that week - was looking at pic's of Caeser just this week. I'm missing the clinic work and can't even imagine how you must feel - but know, the Lord has something even better in store for you, otherwise He wouldn't have let you leave!!

missing you, friend!
