Love Remains

AFRICA.

I went recently on a mission trip with my friends organization called Arise Africa to Lusaka, Zambia.
I have been meaning to post about my journey there, but the real world has pulled me away from writing. So...I am now sitting down. I am now at my computer. And I am now going to tell you as best I can of a life changing experience in a beautiful country. It is a country where death is not far away, but where living life to the fullest is not hard to do. And where the people seemingly don't have anything, but a better look reveals they have everything. A country where I learned the true meaning of Faith, Sacrifice, and most of all--Love.







Of all the things that we gave these people on our trip: new classrooms, supplies, clothing, food--nothing could repay what they gave us. We were everyone's family for two weeks, accepted and loved unconditionally. I will now live with the understanding of what it means to live like there is no tomorrow. And to know--to really know-- that this life is so temporary, and that God's love for us and our love for others what matters most.

" Now these three remain: Faith, Hope and Love--but the Greatest of these is Love."-I Corinthians 13:13
