Nothing better

It was an especially hot day today.

I couldn’t really concentrate at church because I was trying to keep two bickering boys away from each other while I held a little one asleep on my lap. Sweat was dripping down my back the entire time…I’ve almost gotten used to it…but not yet. And really I just wanted to sleep in today, but it just can’t happen. The kids wake up at 6 a.m. on the weekends and those sweet voices just can’t help but sing praises to Jesus before the sun rises. It’s actually the best thing to wake up to and I don’t even have to set an alarm…ever. The power also shuts off around the same time they wake up so it gets a bit toasty under my mosquito net.  Which also defeats the purpose of my bucket bath the night before because I start sweating the minute I wake up. 

I’m not complaining…this is just my life. Today marks the third week I’ve been here and I can’t imagine being anywhere else. I love this place more and more everyday. It makes everything else way less important. So instead of sitting around and watching tv today like I usually do when I can’t sleep and am tired…I just walked outside. And I was instantly surrounded and I couldn't ask for anything better than this.
