world where you live
I am getting so frustated!
this is like the 6th time ive started this entry, i've put this off for so long that i dont even know where to start.
the past two weeks i have felt my heart rooting here and i have felt its breaking, and the sadness i have felt has been like no other feeling i have ever had. In north america i dont think we know what it means to be a orphan and God has definitly been putting that on my heart for the past while.
To be a Child of Masoyi or generally a child of africa means that you have watched each of your parents waste away for like 24 months, the whole time you dont really understand whats going on and not knowing what to do, then your parents do pass away and you are alone, and you are left with this huge love-less void in your life, you dont have the two people who are suppost to suport you and guide you and be there for you to talk to, you are alone.
its blows me away when i think about it how when i am at youth, or when i am with the young mothers or at one of the care centers that EVERY single one of those people have been through this.
and what comes out of this situation is a generation who is not scared of dealth, a generation that doesnt really care about HIV cause it took there parents so it may as well take them to, a generation who wants love but has not been loved so doesnt know how to.
I need to always remind myself that i am best friends with the God of impossiablites, my hope is completely in Jesus, I guess i may come off as a religion freak but to see what has been done here and what needs to change in our whole world to see the change here there is no other place to put hope.
so yes this has been my heart for the past while.

Heavy. Very heavy experience you have been having Lacey. Your reflections are very insightful. I am glad that you are there, the world needs passionate people like you. Keep being strong. Love, Christine
I think generally in north america there is a huge disrespect for parents from the youth population.
People here don't understand the opportunities they have.
