I can't believe that this year has gone by so quickly! It seems like I just get home and I start to prepare for the coming trip and before you know it..... it's here. I am to the point of this process that I have to start removing activities of my schedule to be free to think about and work on the things that are of importance for being out of the country for 3-4 months. Speaking of which, my plane ticket is scheduled to have me back in country August 16th. The beginning plan was to have me home for our family reunion, but I'm thinking that staying for the Women's conference might be the deal for this year.
Hundred's of women gather for the Sofala Baptist Women's Convention each year and it is a sight to behold! Each church has it's own tribal dress and dance that they perform at their own appointed time. Then there are groups who join together and learn a dance and show their gifts. Then towards the end of three days, all of the women who would want to participate, join in together, learn a dance and they all together perform a dance for all to view. This is an important part of the conference. This is an act of worship to God, to worship Him, to give thanks to Him, to love on others and to know that each day is another gift. Life is hard in Africa. Everyday is hard.
