i love Jesus and everything about Him. i love having fun with my kids - simply BEING w/them. i love my husband. i love developing nations and i LOVED living in africa. i love african literature (more than one can know!). i love west african culture. i love nyc. i love ethnic foods (most - not all!!!). i love old bridges, old trees, old churches, old buildings. :) i love my family. i love nature, the shore, beaches, birds, trees (did i say that already), and music. i love having Jesus who enriches every area of my life. i love playing piano in an empty house. i loooooooooove reading immensely. i love writing even more. i love learning things about people, who they are, how they think and their different perspectives. i love diversity and feel stiffled when there isn't enough of it. i love asian things. i love childbirth and the whole miraculous experience of bringing life into the world. i love see my children grow and mature and branch out into their own persons.i'm PASSIONATE about africa, world poverty issues and moral injustices. that's hard for me to define in my everyday life as a mama and wife, but it is something i hope to pass on to my boys. i want to expose my boys to those suffering in this world and hope that they one day would bring the Life of Jesus to those around them and seek to make a difference. that's the deepest desire in my heart..............
