I have a thought that I would like to share just quickly. I saw this question on Pinterest... I know, guilty as charged, but I really like it.
"Is what you're living for worth Christ dying for?"
Maybe if we ask ourselves that question, it will remind us of what is important and help us to focus less on the minute things that seem to distract us from the bigger picture - the picture we all would like to see ourselves in.
P.S. Africa experiences still to come!
