And I usually don't disagree.
But people think I am crazy mostly because my heart longs for a continent plagued by poverty, disease, war, famine, and death.
People think I am crazy because I long for Africa.
Please remember, I did not pick this country. I truly feel its what I was born to do and why God has me on this earth.
Lets be honest. I am scared outta my mind. Poverty, disease, war, famine, and death are not exactly things that you look for when trying to find a place to build a home, to raise kids, to live life.
Webster defines "longing" as a "yearning desire". I can't explain this desire. I can't define it. It just is there. My entire being desires, yearns, longs for Africa.
To me, I am not the crazy one. Anyone who wants to be anywhere else is crazy.
How could you not want to be in Africa?
I guess its a good thing I am going soon.
104 days.
