when i woke up this morning, i was thinking.
Jesus sure is a lot like mosquito repellent.
so get this.
i've been thinking a lot about satan the past few days.
i've seen things. i've heard things.
he has this country in the palm of his hand.
things happen here.
people turn into dogs in the grocery store in broad daylight.
cats that speak english visit people's houses in the night.
it's real. it's scary. it happens.
back to this morning.
i was in the bathroom, busy doing whatever it is i do in the morning.
i saw 2 mosquitoes sitting on my shower curtain.
i often contemplate the evilness of mosquitoes. we are not on good terms.
but today was different.
i realized that i now have power over them.
my pembantu bought me this most amazing repellent thing last week.
i just plug it in, and it keeps mosquitoes out of my bedroom.
and my living room.
they are perpetually trapped in my bathroom (the only other room in my house).
i don't have to fear them biting me when my guard is down (when i'm sleeping).
and when i go in the bathroom, i already know they're in there.
i'm ready for them. and the entire room is white.
so no matter where they go, i can see them.
and i am bigger than them.
Jesus is like that.
when i'm with Him, i don't have anything to be afraid of.
He watches over me even when i'm sleeping.
satan has no power over me.
and when i leave my house, when i go into this country so controlled by demonic forces...
i see satan. he is visible. no matter where he goes, he cannot hide.
and the *I AM* is bigger than him.

i love you.
and i know i say that in response to almost every post of yours...but that's always my predominant sentiment, reading anything you write.
i worry about you far away...i worry that you're not eating, you're not getting enough rest, that there are nasty, dirty people all around you all the time, and...i wish i could be there with you to help you carry the weigh of all the above AND the weight of all your...thoughts. morning-induced or otherwise. i know you love being needed. and i know you need to be needed. but i want to be there for you...for whatever YOU need. whatever it is. and i hate that you know, several continents and an ocean or two kind of limits that...:). anyway, i'm signing up with skype in hopes of catching you for an actual conversation...and even considering purchasing a webcam in hopes of seeing your lovely face once again! AND i AM going to email you back!! :) :) you're totally right in assuming i am likewise intimidated by large emails AND irrationally but obsessively predisposed to writing emails in their entirety, in one sitting...so. an email is definitely forthcoming...but life gets in the way of ridiculously long but insanely awesome written-in-one-sitting emails :D
i love you, babbie...
and this whole you being far away thing gets more and more incomprehensive every time i think about it...
