Final thoughts from Stacy


I have met people who in spite of their seemingly insurmountable problems and horrific past, not to mention an uncertain future, have joy that is beyond anything I have ever witnessed and a faith that can truly move mountains. Their attitude is pretty much, yes, I have had horrible things happen to me and life is a day to day struggle but that's OK because I have Jesus, He will provide all I need. This was humbling for me because I tend to keep him in a small box and take him out only when I really need him. I went to encourage them but instead they encouraged me. I have learned that as long as I keep my eyes focused on Him there is nothing in this world that can steal my joy or assurance of the love he has for me. I have fallen in love with Africa and its beautiful people. He has touched me and I will never be the same. Praise God for that!
