"When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it."

Winnie the Pooh is a very wise little bear. He seems to say things in just the right manner that my brain connects with them. This is just one of many quotes I found today that made me say "YES!" Often times I will think things, but be afraid to share them because of the way they will be viewed...so I keep them to myself until they just plop out of my mouth and then there they are...and they either come out all wrong or they just look different in light of others looking at them also.

I'm on a team that is, Lord willing, going to Africa this summer. I cannot tell you how happy this makes my heart. We don't know anything yet about where we will be going or what we will be doing, but it just puts a smile on my face and makes my heart happy. This transition back to the states has been rough lately...so thinking about preparing to go to Africa with people here who share a like heart or just want to see what Africa is all about and being able to share the wonderful experience of Africa with them excites me! I've heard it said that people are most joyful when they are using their gifts...hm...that leaves me with a thought that is thingish that I'm not willing yet to put out there. :)
