On my walk to church a young girl named Manzinia who has been my companion at church the last couple of weeks saw me coming from far away, maybe 30 yards. She cried out “Mama Laura!” and ran full speed to me. I bent over to embrace her and she leaped into [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning had the thought of how amazing it is to be able to hear approx 80 Mozambican men in the Bible School singing their praises to the Lord. (Their dorms and worship area are very close to our house and here there is no glass in the windows.) It would be so foreign to [...]]]></description>

…Another memorable moment was at the very end of staff church when we were pray out the visitors who would be leaving this week. One of the Mozambican “mamas” was up there and she had a little boy of about 6 or 7 who I assume was her son. As she was [...]]]></description>

Communication is especially difficult these days. My computer just up and died on me on the 30th of June. We even had a computer expert here at the time and he could not revive it. It is very difficult to be here without access to the outside world. At the time I was making arrangements [...]]]></description>

Children in rags with big holes in their britches 
 
Buttons are missing and there’s no thread for new stitches
 
If they were right there in front of your eyes 
 
Would you be shocked or maybe even despise -
 
That they are dirty, often smelly, maybe covered with sand 
 
But as they run to you with outstretched arms [...]]]></description>

And a carrier of my sword
 
The nations will be your inheritance
 
And I am your reward
 
 
 I’ve created you to shine
 
I’ve created you to soar
 
I’ve created you to be a vessel
 
Through which my River of Life will pour
 
 
You are no longer bound
 
By the forces of hell
 
Open your eyes 
 
And you will see [...]]]></description>

One day he comes running
 
His amigo matching his stride
 
One by one I scoop them into my arms
 
And wrap them deep inside
 
 
I pray prayers of blessing 
 
That they would know the Father’s love
 
And whatever else poured through my heart
 
And set them down to a few last hugs
 
 
I remember being impacted 
 
By the similarity of their names

Create, spin, 
 
sing and dance
 
 
No holding back
 
Take the chance
 
 
What’s to lose
 
(besides your shoes)
 
dance my child, dance!
