Oh my homeland..

Ok I know that it is 2 minutes till midnight and I
am hoping you have all slept well. I, on Thursday
evening watched Hotel Rwanda!! I normally do
not watch these type of movies because my heart
cannot take it, but I must admit that I watched most
of it. I did leave the TV between commercials and I
am thinking, I missed some of the more violent parts..

It is indeed a violent movie and intense. It makes my
heart break to see it and see what people went through.
Oh my heart bled for the people and for Africa. Sure it
may not be as bad in other parts of Africa as it was in
Rwanda but things have been very bad in other places
and countries are still trying to recuperate!! It is how
sad that africa is so poor and needy. Forgive me for a
rant but of I had to get it off my chest....I love Africa.
Blessings
Laura

Part of Me

Through the course of some events, God has helped me to realize that I have not entirely dealt with some events that happened when I was a child. This is a part of me that up to now has not been shared with many, but sometimes sharing the painful parts can bring healing and can let people see why someone might be how they are. In 1991, I was in the fourth grade and my family was back in the USA for the year. At that point my learning disorder had not been officially diagnosed and I was desperate to understand my instructions in school and to fit in. Thankfully, I do not recall every day of that awful year but my mom has told me that I came home every day crying over some event that had taken place that day. I recall being teased, bullied and not included in what I longed for,friends and acceptance.I recall getting in trouble because my teacher had to document sending home a student for spitting on me. i recall asking to play with the class and I was told by a classmate that they ha...
