What do you say to the world when you really just don't know what to say?

I could rant and rave about how I hate all of the clothes that I have with me, because I have literally been wearing the same 5 outfits for 9 months; but nobody wants to hear about that.

Or I could tell you all about how different Africa is from America; but you all probably know that, and truthfully Rwanda isn't all that different.

Perhaps I could tell you how much I miss people back home, and would love to hear from everybody; but that doesn't really sound like fun either.

So what do you talk about when you feel like you have nothing to talk about? 

If I were sitting face to face with you I would simply not say anything at all and just sit in your presence while listening to all of your ramblings on and on about life. But that's not the case.

Another way to fill the silence is to talk about the process that God is walking me through; but I am not really ready to share the crazy process of putting things to death that He is walking me through at the moment.

I could tell you all about the plans that I have for when I get home, but who knows if all of that will work out…so I would hate to get your hopes up about something that's not for sure. 

Pictures always make nice blogs, but that requires better internet connection; and let's be real…Africa doesn't really offer that!

Laughing is always fun, but the things that I have been laughing about lately would make zero sense to you because you weren't there, and the story isn't actually that funny unless you were.

We could have a really fun dance party together, but that might have to wait a few months for it to be any fun at all. 

So pretty much what I am trying to say to you is that I really want to talk to you, but I just don't know what to say. 

So perhaps you are better with your words than I am today and you do know what to say….if that's the case…please say it, I would love to hear from you!
