So, this year is a new year in a new place and honestly, I'm overwhelmed by all that is going on here... all that is on my mind and heart and all that Dad wants to teach me, learning language, getting used to new ways of doing things, living with others and adjusting....Today we had a special luncheon with some pretty important people here in my city about the "arts" and how to incorporate arts in the city and form community. It was a great opportunity to meet some great people here. We have a team here from Los Angeles that is sharing their talents with us and helping us in this crazy adventure. As we were eating lunch, one of our friends from the states began painting... he started out with a blank canvas and then ended up with a beautiful masterpiece. It got me thinking ( I know, SCARY!).... I want to be like that blank canvas. I want to start this year ready to be used and painted upon. I want to look back on the beginning of this time of my life and then to the end and see the master piece that Dad created and stand in awe...
There is so much unknown ahead but one thing I know - Dad is painting a masterpiece in this crazy place called North Africa! So, while I should have been listening to Arabic and conversations around me at lunch, I was listening to what Dad was speaking to my heart.... I think He's okay with that!
