It is by no coincidence that I ended up coming to
Ghana. It was strong answers to prayers,
and a series of miracle after miracle that I was able to come and for that I
will be forever grateful.
I am going to miss walking by saying “Good morning” as they
smile with bundles of goods on their heads and a baby on their back, hearing
the kids “Obroni, Obroni”, at the stations hearing “plantain” or “pure water”, squeezing
in the taxi or tro tro and seeing the expressions on their faces, the delicious
red red, fufu and all of the food, hearing the roosters, goats, and chickens
day and night, walking in the bush, fresh fruit, markets, fabric, seeing the impossible
be possible, the beautiful jungles and the list continues. But whenever people ask, “What is your
favorite part of Ghana?” there is no question about it. The people.
I have never met more charitable, loving, grateful, friendly, happy and
humble people. No one is perfect, but we
all can do our best. I pray that these
people will be blessed because they have changed my life in more ways than they
will ever know. Truly they have given me
a perspective on life that has changed me as a person.
Coming to Ghana is like looking at the big picture of
life. Getting caught up in the day to day rat race sometimes it is easy to
forget, but when you have so little and rely on the Lord so much life is very
different.
Today I am in Ghana and after a 30 hour flight, I will be
back in the USA. But as I land in the
USA I will have Ghana in my heart forever.
