It's about 100 degrees in Portland today, and the last time I got sunburned was in November, on a hilltop in Mhlosheni surrounded by hundreds of excited and giddy kids.
It's unseasonably warm. So maybe that's why I'm thinking of Mhlosheni today: of watching the lightning from behind my curtains at night, of hearing it roll across the Shiselweni Hills, of waking up to find damp grass and rain-jeweled flowers.
I don't have the words to express my feelings today. (Sometimes that happens, even with me!) So I put together some slides with a beautiful song I just found and I'll use that to express how I feel.
There are some very powerful words embedded in this video, but I especially like the bridge where the singer sings:
To stand in the sight of the living God ...
That's where I'm longing to be.
That's where I'm longing to be.
It's called "Home" and it's from Shawn MacDonald. Enjoy.
