Almost 2 Weeks

Getting used to no daily updates?
I have been pondering how I could view this compilation of "stream of consciousness" myself. I fully expected that by now I would be fully acclimated back into my world. I envisioned that i would feel physically strong too. Neither is presently true, even though I have been loved and pampered. Emotionally I feel "spent"

What is going on? When you feel down you tend to think it is a forever thing. I may later today be embarrassed that I have written these words, but I have been so bold while in Liberia to share raw emotions. I thought maybe if this is of a spiritual nature, that some of you would pray for me.

In these almost 2 weeks, I have gotten many very, very nice emails from my students. To have them express appreciation is so touching to me. One who had complained whEn I was there about how hard it was on students to have temporary and short term professors, wrote that if I had not come there wouldn't have been public speaking or public relations for the sophomores in 2011.




Another great development: EAFC thinks we have identified a church and student that will be the permanent replacement for the job I did in Liberia. The school has a state of the art communications building almost finished. They will soon have both TV and radio. Oh, how they need a full time communications professor. Isn't that exciting that a church has identified a young man they have asked EAFC to join them in training? One sharp young man is currently working toward pursuing a masters in communication at DAYSTAR University in Kenya. Church, ABCU and EAFC at this point are excitedly exploring this to see if this is in fact where God
is leading.

May 1 I give a report in my Sunday School class. Hummm! How do you wrap yourself around 7 weeks and do justice to the experience? I have tried with friends so far, and each person has such varied levels of interest and different types of things they want to know.

May my next post lift you up as you have so often lifted me up. Keep praying, and pray too that God would show you whether or not you are to be a part in training a leader in the field of communication in Liberia!
