6 months in 1 post... Highlight Reel...

How does 6+ months go by without blogging?  
Maybe its being consumed in all things Zambia...  Maybe it's the frustration of it taking HOURS to load a photo... the daily 8 hour power outages... 
or just plain laziness... (ok, it's probably this one)
Despite the INACTIVITY of my blog... the life is full of ACTIVITY... 
Here's my weak attempt at catching up... 
Our 3 days of Christmas before the malaria struck... ahhh...

Soccer tournaments that landed my 2 bigs in the Nationals!

Following the Soccer bus early... Enjoying the African Sunrise...

Celebrating with Friends after Z's first U13 Soccer game...

Opening our Student Life Program... 48 kids from G8-10 in boarding facilities...

Ukubyala without any power... Be the Light...

Art of Marriage at Nsobe... Good & Wild times with all our staff at Lifesong...
Awesome time with Phil & Starla... our marriage coaches!

The Purchase of this property in which my heart has desired for 4 years!  It's the new home to Girls Student Life! Ah-May-Zing! Tsangalala... Let's Rejoice!

My Friday and Saturday Nights by the fire pit... debating constellations and listening to NJ the DJ...

My G8s studying before exams in my Guidance and Counseling Class... because I'm nice the week of exams... only. ;)

The next generation of Lifesong Football... Z's best friends...

And all this activity... occasionally I steal away to my room for some juice and Jesus...

Mwaiseni... Welcome to our school... Here's a little peek for those who've never been here (which you are always welcome... )

Porridge for Breakfast... HOT... because it's winter here! 

Ukubyala... Impromtu Praise and Worship with friends near and far...

KG and Benson planning their "song"... which was indeed the CUTEST THING EVER... would love to upload the video but i'm kinda pushing it with all these photos... ha.  They sang together "Jesus Never Fails"... just the 2 of them... still.my.heart.

Us gals waiting on the frittas to finish so we can eat something yummy!  Outdoor kitchen goodness...

This boy... ahhh... how he has grown into such an amazing young man... Serious about school... serious about life...

These, on the other hand, are still enjoying boyhood... to the fullest... Pray for these boys... their smiles cover a multitude of pains...

Me and Skip Bo...

The Crew... Yes, they are out of control and one can't possibly get a decent photo...

Which requires more of this...

And these guys... my life... my heart...

How can one love someone so much anyway?

And that's a wrap...

So... that means I'm all caught up, right? You didn't miss a thing!  We opened boarding, had an awesome soccer season, fun family time, teams, growth... and so much more!  I'd love to promise that I'm back to blog land... but I might be lying.  One thing is for sure... life is full and active even if the blog isn't.  My journal is... and maybe one day I'll be brave enough to start writing again... love from Zambia...
