Gulu-bound!
This is a shot as we were driving! Beautiful. 
There was construction. Not a Quanta Services Company. 
Mid-trip Jolly asked if I had slept in the car. I said No, I was just thinking. She said you know women who can't shut off their minds will never get married. HA! She nailed me.

She said you know women who can't shut off their minds will never get married. HA! She nailed me.I was slightly put off. She said women with minds that constantly run are to much for a man to deal with. As a wife you need to be submissive and listen to others opinions and allow yourself to learn.
I need some feedback on this... What do you think?
Then I told her perhaps not every woman is meant to marry- she said NO every woman is meant to marry.
Wow. Pressure is on.
Enough of that.
Meet Monica. 
Monica drove with us to Gulu because Jolly is wanting her to run Kope Cafe. She just finished her degree in Business Administration. Kope is a cafe Jolly opened in Gulu to generate profits for HEALS kids to go to school. I am sitting here now. It's a special place.
Monica is legit. She is an orphan that overcame her culture's mindset that orphans will never finish school. She got a scholarship through Invisible Children and has now completed University!Jolly and Monica told me how it is hard for one here in Uganda to understand that success is a gradual, step by step process. So, Monica is again stellar. Working as a house girl or doing whatever she could to make a buck got her to where she is. I secretly want her to jump on board with SOMObeads. But, I haven't breached that convo yet. Slowly slowly. We were pretty excited to meet eachother!
This morning we scrubbed Kope Cafe up and down to get it clean. I guess American's are perceived to not do this type of work- she kept asking me if I needed a break. I told her tthat my mom was very good about teaching us to clean and clean well. All you need is a bucket of bleach! Mom- you would have had a hay-day in Kope. It needs you!
Monica is amazing. I am going to teach her to use the computer this afternoon. Has anybody ever taught someone this before? I want to be sure to walk through it properly.
I think you can be a good listener, have a humble attitude that is willing to learn, and still be actively using your mind. Talking too much and being dominating with your opinions may annoy a husband, but thinking things through is not a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteNo comment on that...except being a servant leader requires listening, and doing hard stuff like mopping a floor...so no worries...you have plenty of time for the other stuff...and who knows if one won't get you the other...I just think visionaries lose alot of sleep with ideas teeming around in your brain! Hope you are getting things done and listening well.
ReplyDeleteThink away, my friend. Your thoughts are some of the loveliest. I can't imagine you would ever be happy by being expected to think less.
ReplyDeleteOh girl you know I have many many thoughts on the start of this ... However from one girls mind that never slows to another of the same I guess I'm not the best example. Love you and praying for your big adventure :)
