For the last few months or so I have been telling my husband that I need to find some kind of new hobby. My mind is constantly focused on Rwanda and I could use a distraction from it. Life does go on even though my heart is in another place. Also, I think it drives many people in my life crazy since all I want to talk about is Rwanda, orphan care, adoption, etc. The good thing about constantly having Rwanda on my mind is that I have a very dedicated prayer life at the moment. As I have searched for a cost effective hobby that wouldn't take time away from my family and homeschooling, I've haven't found much. Everything cost money. =( But on the brighter side, I did find something to do that would give me money. =) I now take care of my sweet nephew, who I truly enjoy loving to pieces. Isn't he cute:
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1:27
