wow, i realized today that this is my 3rd thanksgiving on the african continent! so amazing. i love this place. this was the best thanksgiving here so far! our pastor and his family invited the americans in the church over for turkey....they are american and have been in africa for over 20 years. there were about 15 of us (6 of which were his family). we ate good food and had really sweet fellowship. we had turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, rolls, soda, pumpkin pie, ice cream. i mean they did it up right! wow, it was so sweet and beautiful and thoughtful for them to have us over. what a blessing for us.

my sweet ems
after we ate and cleaned up we all played catch phrase. what a hoot! it was so fun!!! im thankful for so many things today. im just overwhelmed at the power and faithfulness of god. what an unbelievable god we serve.
this verse was my focus for the day. jesus is it, period. he is all we need.
"whom have i in heaven but you- and earth has nothing i desire besides you- my flesh and my heart may fail but god is the strength of my heart and my portion forever" psalm 73: 25-26
