“I’m reminded today how unpredictable God can be.”

“Now there’s a joy inside I can’t containBut even perfect days can end in rainAnd though it’s pouring downI see You through the cloudsShining on my face.”

“Things aren't always what they seemYou're only seeing part of meThere's more than you could ever knowBehind the scenes.”

“Did You wrap yourself inside the unexpected so we might know that Love would go that far?”

“You'll understand me when you're older. Then you'll see how men can blind you. And I mean blind you. To the point that you're no longer yourself.”

“How can I explain this? Why is it you can never hope to describe the emotion Africa creates?You are lifted.Out of whatever pit, unbound from whatever tie, released from whatever fear. You are lifted and you see it all from above. Your pit, your ties, your fear. you are lifted, you slowly rise like a hot-air balloon, and all you see is the space and the endless possibilities for losing yourself in it.”

“Telling the truth can be a dirty job.”
