Even Birds

In Ghana they say even birds must return to land. This is a metaphor for the fact that there comes a time for each person to return home. For me, right now, my time to be home in Calgary is now. I’m leaving my Africa home for a while, and trusting that in God’s time I will take flight here again too.


The past week at Father’s House International has been a fantastic experience. I can’t wait to tell you more about it. For now I will tell you I enjoyed every minute of bracelet making, soccer playing (mostly cheering for me), singing, dancing and chit chatting. The Great 8 (the 8 boys at FH), and the fabulous team behind Father’s House, have carved a place in my heart.

The past 7 weeks have been challenging and exhilarating, discouraging and encouraging, and full of the unexpected. To oversimplify I will say it’s reinforced my love for Africa, it’s made me ask tough questions and find even tougher answers, and it’s been an experience I will cherish.

I have just arrived back home...
