I Feel Right @ Home

     I have to start somewhere because there has been sooo much to take place in a matter of 2 days.  I am blessed to be here, and I am finding that all the other international students in ISH (International Student Hostel) feel the same- or at least the ones that I've gotten to know. 

      This only the 2nd day but I feel like I've been in Ghana much longer.  This is such a beautiful place and a beautiful culture.  OMG!!!  There are liggle geico's and big lizards all over the place and I have played it cool by taking pics of them and not acting a fool when I see them out... but one was at the top of my door frame and I about DIED!!!!  God FORBID them from getting in my room, PLEASE!  Do you think at the end of 4 months, I'll get used to them?  LOL

Anyway, it is 3AM in the morning (10PM CST) and I couldn't find any other time to blog but I knew I had to get started because I have to record everything that I have experienced.... awesome experience by the way.
All the international students live in one hostel: I've met people from Norway, Germany, London, Nigeria, Las Vegas, Virginia, Ethiopia, Canada, Cali... etc.  My roommate has not arrived yet and I am a little anxious to know who this person is and where they are from... ya know?!

We have been catered to by our program coordinator.  We are being spoon-fed the culture, right now so we haven't had the chance to experience it independently.  Throught the Missouri-Africa Program, only 3 students from UMSL and 2 from Truman came to Ghana.

I have had very inspiring and uplifting experiences with all the individuals that I've conversed with.  One valuable lesson that I've learned already is that less is always more.  Go back to the basics and see just how stress-free your life will be.  There is never any confusion when you are walking in God's purpose.  I hope he reveals His purpose in my life to me... it seems everybody I meet has the same desire. 

So many people have similar stories... here by faith and waiting on a Word as to what's next.
I have a full day ahead of me tomorrow so I have to shut it down for now.
I apologize for the informalities... but I couldn't leave you with nothing.

I WILL POST PICS VERY SOON!!  Much love to everyone... I really appreciate you sooo much... can't express it enough.

Until next time,

Lady T
