I was 24 when I went to Africa. . .

In the last 4 years (really the 2 since I've been home) I've asked myself several times, "What am I doing here (in America)?"  I've asked the Lord the same question.  
And others have asked me.
My reply. . . "Jesus won't let me go."
I've been so unsure of why.  
But tonight He reminded me.  
Here (in America) I can encourage others walking along the same path I've been down.  I can remind them that He'll be faithful-He always is.  That they'll be effective and that they'll be changed.  
My heart weeps for my Africa, but for now the Lord is using my tears right here.
