I arrived safely back in Zimbabwe today. These journeys are always long-- there is no EASY was to get to the other side of the world, that is for sure!
I have had such an amazing 5 weeks in the States, I will write about my experiences for sure... but I will try to say a few quick things here:
1. I spent a large chunk of my time learning about best practices in orphan care, and I am blown away by the amazing people I have met. Christians who are both brilliant AND in love with Jesus--such a fabulous combination!
2. I am thrilled about what is happening in Zimbabwe right now, and I feel like the opportunity to make a difference is far greater than I had ever imagined!
3. I missed this place. I am still not sure which place is "home," hopefully I will never have to choose!
We are heading into a time of uncertainty in Zimbabwe. Elections are coming, although the date is not set yet. I am here for the next few months on a holiday visa...for that reason (as often is the case) you will not see any posts here about my work.
I will be posting more regularly, this is a goal I have set for myself, but the posts will be more about my personal life here and my thoughts and rambles!
With Love from Zimbabwe,
Gigi
About Me
- Regina
- I was a single 26 year old adventure seeker when I accidentally moved to a very small Zimbabwean town. More than 12 years later I am wife to a cricket playing, Zimbabwean pastor, and Mama to a toddler and a teen. I loves to read all the good books and I spend my out of the home working hours with kiddos from hard places learning to feel and share their feelings as they tell their stories. I am an adoption advocate, justice seeker and pursuer of healing. I am a Redeemed child of God on a 19 year journey of recovery. Partnering with amazing people that care for the poor and the orphaned while advocating for adoption. I am learning to love God and others. I am a Spartan (Go Green) and a supporter of all things Detroit.
