Thank you for the beautiful pictures, and for bringing little Belice's story to us.

It was a guess until I could see it on paper.<BR/>Desperate to get back to N.Kivu and without a vehicle I joined Jackie, on a minibus,(everyone has warned against doing such a thing). It was great.<BR/> The other people on the bus were refugees returning to their homes in N. Kivu after living in internally displaced camps. The Congolese soldiers harassed us a bit when we were crossing into Laurent Nkunda's territory but it wasn't too bad.love https://www.blogger.com/profile/00519844643641797195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2848810634574940090.post-79416771585691220352008-11-28T22:56:00.000-08:002008-11-28T22:56:00.000-08:00Hi Sherrlyn,I'm sorry I haven't responded ...Hi Sherrlyn,<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry I haven't responded sooner. I just read through your Congo entries on your blog. << sigh >> You have a heart of gold, a will of great strength and a passion I wish I had more of. You have been in my thoughts and prayers for our dear Lord to keep you safe in your travels to Congo. Your words bring goosebumps to my skin. The thought of what you're seeing and experiencing makes me think about how blessed we all have it here in the states. I know we all have a story and some are much harder, MUCH harder, than others but nothing like little Belize's story....her life right now. So many girls and women like Belize... it just breaks my heart. <BR/><BR/>You are such a strong, brave woman and YES you have God on your side to give you strength when you need it and hold you up when you're weak. You are blessing us all by bringing this awareness to the world. We all should know what's going on in Congo.<BR/><BR/>I pray for your safe return and for you to accomplish what it is you are there to do. I believe in you and I'm so honored to have been part of the ShootQ grant judging. What an amazing experience that was.<BR/><BR/>God bless!<BR/><BR/>~ DawnDawn Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929060131642643612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2848810634574940090.post-76454359982804018902008-11-28T06:48:00.000-08:002008-11-28T06:48:00.000-08:00God Bless you, these are wonderful telling picture...God Bless you, these are wonderful telling pictures. these children in the Congo are beautiful.
