faithful. again. still.

Oh, Lord...you got me again!

Guess who just met a couple from Lagos, Nigeria? FOR REAL.

I took a chance and introduced myself, spoke "small-small" pidgin English with them, and told them how much I miss Abuja.

The wife introduced herself as Shola, and I asked if that was short for Adeshola. Her eyes got big as she asked, "How did you know that?!" I just laughed and told her what a strong Yoruba name she has. We exchanged information and are going to get together soon.

Thank you, God, for bringing this family into my life at the precise moment I needed them most! Even though I am missing Nigeria again & still today, You are faithful again & still today.

(Why this is perfect timing? Read below for a taste of profound homesickness.)
