imagine africa

Imagine waking up every morning, and knowing you'll spend the day giving your love to children who don't always get that. Imagine saying prayers over sick people, and watching the healing (whether physical or in their hearts) take place. Imagine being content just spending your afternoon sitting outside with little kids. Imagine worshipping God and never, ever wanting to stop. Imagine walking outside and seeing a bunch of little children smiling at you, waiting for you. Imagine your heart breaking as you stand beside the bed of a severely burnt toddler. Imagine your days being filled with purpose. Imagine walking house-to-house and just talking to people simply because you want to know them. Imagine eating rice and noodles every day, at every meal. Imagine seeing children walk around barefoot, and that seeming normal. Imagine being cramped in a van with your teammates for 2 hours, imagine the bonding that takes place. Imagine your heart overflowing with His love. Imagine sitting in the back of a blue pick-up truck, praying for God to provide good white bread for dinner that night. Imagine seeking Him always- when things are good, and when things get difficult. Imagine starry night skies, the smell of burning trash, and mud huts. Imagine crowing chickens and wailing babies. Imagine falling asleep at night, exhausted from serving others all day. Imagine being in Africa.
