29 Today

Today I turned 29 years old yep I sure did. So I thought I would count my World Race blessings along with some other random things that I love about the Race.

1. Illy coffee

2. Squatties, I really do like them you don’t have to flush

3. Passion Fruit Fanta only available in Africa

4. Watching Jeff do the shoulder dance with a mean head bob

5. Worship with an accordion at a Romanian Gypsy Church…yep its all you’re imagining

6. Getting to use my compass! Thanks Jess

7. The Indian head bob it’s classic and will leave you totally confused

8. Taxis they are super cheap here and they know where they are going…

9. Hand washing clothes- it’s old school 

10.  Rooftops in India nothing better

11. Jeepnies!!!! These are old WWII jeeps that are pimped out and turned into Public transportation in the Philippines and they have R&B and flashing lights always pumping out of them

12. Skype and a connection that actually connects

13. Beans and Rice in Africa- it is my favorite and good thing because that’s all you get

14. Super Hero Worship Night… I don’t know if I can explain this one 

15. Learning Capoeira

16. Michael and Kathy Hindes coming for monthly visits and shaking us up in the Spirit.

17. Meeting Pastors around the World that love their congregation

18. Dancing for the Lord until I couldn’t dance no mo at a Church in Tanzania

19. Chai tea and yes I might be a little addicted to it

20. Receiving blog comments and letters from you

21. My Family

22. Having clean feet, you have no idea how impossible it was to keep feet clean in Africa

23. Doing manual labor alongside Ugandan women

24. Being able to carry everything I own on my back…and watching taxi drivers be amazed at me when I put it on, my pack is very very big

25. My Team Banah= Vickilicous, My Sharona, Angel, Tender Mitchell, Andrew/Mark, and Sister Laura -Love you guys

26. The incredible support I have received, I am always in awe of you all

27. Getting a laugh when people think I know 50 Cent the rapper  just because I’m from California- Its seems that over here our best representation of Americans is the TV

28. Seeing Miracles  whether it  be people being healed or a smile from a child

29. What I really love is  the unpredictability of the Race every day there is an unknown factor and every day is an ADVENTURE
