“Just pause it, I’ll be right back!” We never want to miss out on a good movie, especially if it’s one of those psychological thrillers, the kind that if you missed one detail you will never understand it. We ask for our friends to pause it even when we’re not getting it all that much, Just because we wanna be part of all the action. That’s why we rarely go to the bathroom in the theater, (unless you really need to go due to all the coke you had during the previews) we need to soak everything in.
I have been travelling all my 20’s, and my life feels that way too. I always have to leave in the middle of a really good part, sometimes I leave when things are not so good either, whether I’m at home or anywhere else in the world. I do my best to pause it and hit play when I return, but it’s never the same. Life goes on with or without me, and of course I never expect it to be any different. The cool part is that when I come back I am a different person, my family and friends have moved on too so it’s like starting another movie, the good thing is that for years I haven’t been watching the same show over and over again, I would be completely and utterly bored, although it stinks that sometimes I don’t get to see the end of one movie, especially when I was enjoying it.
I came home from Africa when my grandma passed, and I wasn’t planning on staying this long. Once here I realized things weren’t going very well for me in Africa and was having some issues with my work, I felt the need to be home with the comfort of my people and with no desire to go back. After praying, meditating and talking to others, I discussed my situation with Mercy Ships and they came up with a new offer, which I am very excited about.

It can be a Birthday/Christmas gift if you like ;). Any amount you decide in your heart would be of great help, $20, $50, $100 0r $2000.00.
