This is my official disclaimer, explanation, that I need to cut down on the blogging. That's not a sure statement/promise that I will, but at this point I am going to try.
Having one foot, and a whole heart, in the door of home and America still is preventing me from living fully here. I notice it as I walk to school, bypassing Ugandans and thinking about how I'll get on the internet once I get on campus. Which has me only smiling at the bypassers instead of adding an "Oliotya?" So, well, sorry. Or maybe you're thinking "finally." I have written so much already; now it shall be more sparse.
Not only for sanity's sake, but for GPA's sake.
But what I learned today:
I am so glad I took that class with Ugandans. Susan, Franca, Vicky, and I continue to hang out more. I was afraid I would only have Ugandan interaction with my family. That's why I took the class. And now I am thankful; these girls are beyond wonderful. And quite hilarious.
I am also learning how my life at home doesn't reflect the fact that the world is in need. Desperate need. I am still lamenting over missed Snickers bars and Doritos, excited to get home for that. Luxury is ridiculous, and I think I need to change something about the way I live. It should be fun to find out.

Danielle,
Good for you. You are reflecting responsibly. Now do what you must to love your neighbor as yourself, especially those closest to you in proximity. We can delight in one post a week (at least I can, not sure about your family).
Peace to you as you obey our Lord Jesus Christ. That is true service and love, obeying his commands.
"Trust and obey, for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus . . ."
