One Month Down ... More To Go.

So we have been here exactly one month. I can't say it has gone by fast, i feel like we have been here for much longer. I believe, that because we have developed some incredible relationships that take years to build, its hard to imagine that we have only been here for such a short time. Right now Robyn and i are slightly undecided about when we will be coming home, so if you feel like praying, pray that God will give us direction and confirmation for what we shall do. Our time here has been filled with special memories. When I was a little girl I use to imagine that I was in Africa playing with the kids, playing with wild animals, going to a hospital and telling stories. As a small kid I imagined that one day I would be in Africa, and today I am. Goes to show that nothing is impossible through the works of God. I have to give God credit, because once i started to trust in him, my dream was manifested and became my reality. This place has become a home to me. Leaving here will be difficult, but im not thinking of that now. The last couple days Robyn and I have been busy building desks with Papa,and taking care of Momm. You should all keep her in thought and prayers, because she is starting to look like an old lady. Don't take that the wrong way, she looks beautiful as always, but her back is treating her poorly and she cant stand straight. I am doing my best to rub her back and help as much as possible without making it worse. We have much to do in the days to come. My little sister Hunter, announced on facebook that she now has a boyfriend, congrats to young love :). My little brother Quintin is becoming very talented on the bike, and he is possibly in need of braces, good luck kid. The last one would be Ricky, I want to wright a little bit about my brother. I miss him SO much. Some time ago, you would think we hated each other, and its true sometimes we did, and even verbalized those feelings to each other. I have wondered if thats common for a brother and sister. In just one year he has become a man and one of my best friends in my life. I love him more then any guy, with the exception of Quint and dad. I know that i haven't told him this as much as I should, but that's going to change. I am crying as i write this because it's so true to my heart and i mean it more then you can imagine. Sometimes i laugh because i remember the times he and i would fight till we were so annoyed/angry that one of us (usually me) would walk away, resulting in a jog around the block. I think of one time when I was SO mad at him that I wanted to hit him with something, so i picked up the closest object to me and hit him over the head with it, don't worry it was only a pizza box. I stormed outside because i was more angry about the fact that it was a pizza box and something they were probably laughing at. Not long after that i was laughing with them. I have to say my brother and I were the fighters in our family and neither of us were good at being the first to quit. Both of us have grown so much, and I can't even express how important he is to me in my life. I can't imagine my life without him, or any of my siblings. They are the people in my life that I will always do my absolute best to show how much I love and care for them. God has blessed me with loving parents, and the best and most fun brothers and sisters. Even though we go our separate ways, and even though we are a separated family, these people are still my family and my life long friends. I thank God for helping Ricky and I become so much closer, and not letting our differences permanently damage our relationship. I have been able to truly love all people through Gods grace. Relationships are good, family is good, love is good, and God is the creator and epitome of all good things. Please be blessed :D

Love to you. Blair Olivia.
