100th post with 25 thoughts

Well, it's happened! This my 100th post on this blog. I was going to try and make a list of 100 random thoughts, but got distracted and stopped at 25. So I guess you can just read it 4 times and it'll kind of be the same thing ;) Enjoy!

The African sky is so beautifully different than anywhere else in the world. It's my favorite.


I love hearing people sing praises in all different languages.

God's favorite colour is definitely green because there are hundreds of shades of it in South Africa.


Long bus rides are good for three things: heart-to-hearts, sing-a-long dance parties, and sleep.

I hate monkeys. End of story.

The fruit here trumps every piece of fruit I've ever had.

I am more than blessed by all the people all this journey with me. God could not have selected a more wonderful group for this semester.


Getting Sees in the mail was the best. I'm definitely going to make a trip to that store when I get home.

God is everywhere. Even in the darkest of places, where there seems to be no hope, God shines His light so that all can see it.

There is so much to learn from South Africa, it's people, and it's culture.

I'm ignorant, selfish, and prideful.

I never realized how much I love Mexican food until I had to go without it...it's an obsession.

Zebras are very protective of their young. Stay away if there's a new baby in the herd.


I am a sinner. And so undeserving of God's grace, but overwhelmingly thankful for it.

You've never experience thunder and lightning until you've been to South Africa. God takes it to a whole new level out here.


Bugs are everywhere, all the time.

Tea time is the greatest invention ever. I think they should require it at every school, with an endless supply of Rooibos.

Zulu dancing is by far one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

I love the drums. In any capacity. I just think they are so cool

God is teaching me more and more everyday what it means to depend solely on Him

Going for walks/runs is really easy when you get to do it in a game reserve.


I have a newfound love for blogs...writing my own and reading other people's. Even other people on this trip and just seeing what has mattered the most to them. So great

I feel so alive and full in this place, more than I ever have before in my life.

Africa is the most vibrant, colorful place in the world.


God is undeniably at work here, and it is absolutely beautiful
