I started to make this a long drawn out post with lots of mushy things about thankfulness and family and friends and everything else in my life, but thinking more, I can make it so much simpler! I feel it all inside of me everyday, to the point where I can say my heart has never in my life been this full! I am so thankful, and so overjoyed that even though I am away from my family and friends, and miss them a little more each day, I have more that EVER to be thankful for this year! I have over 100 refugee children that know me by name and sprint into my arms at first glance, and many other people I've met in the past 5 months that I find myself thanking God for this year. I am so far away from the comforts of home, but my heart is filled to the BRIM! The Lord continues to be gracious and fill me up day after day, even after tough situations, difficult days, and especially when I least deserve it. He has given me experiences and shown me things that have caused me to grow, learn, and challenge my thoughts and actions. Thanksgiving Day this year in Uganda was incredibly hot and pretty uneventful as compared to a normal U.S.A. holiday, but still incredibly beautiful! I AM SO THANKFUL!
I love these boys so much.
The boys teaching me how to do a handstand.. it may take me a while!
Couldn't ask for better friends to spend this year abroad with.
Corbin is a little sleepy after an amazing Thanksgiving dinner!
So blessed to have great food and even better company.
