March 2007

My re-entry this time was very different to last year. I came home stronger physically but pretty raw emotionally. I even ate some airline food this time which is a huge change for me. It’s not that good though is it?! I was sitting next to a nice man & we had some interesting conversations.  In one of them he expressed his opinion that ‘people dying in Africa is nature’s way of culling too many people’. Like I said, we had some interesting discussions. I’m glad that I know & believe that God doesn’t make mistakes & He created us all uniquely for a reason. I think that one of the reasons that I slipped back into the western way of things so quickly was I want to be normal! Yes, I know normal & Robyn never are used in the same sentence, but with the death of some of our precious babies just before I left for home I think that I was trying to block it all out. That’s why we do what we do, these people in Malawi are precious in His sight, just as we are.
