Wednesday is My Favorite Day of the Week.

During my first week in Zambia, Africa,my team and I organized a Vacation Bible School for the children at the Wisdom Community School in Mwenye. Every day we had planned activities and what we wanted the children to know about Jesus Christ. But on Tuesday of that week we were told that we were going to be helping with some of the construction on the school itself; of course the plans had changed without us knowing. So, we spent the entire time with the children playing, relaxing, singing and dancing. I will always remember that day because I just had the chance to get to know the children and understand their longing to be loved; one little girl, about the age of two or three, fell asleep on my lap. In addition, I loved how we thought we were going to be doing one thing, and then God turns it into something that we would have never though of. This is basically why I am so passionate about Zambia; the children showed me how to love and how Jesus loves them. I hope that you will never forget the simplest blessings that God blesses each one of us every day; God is always in control.
