The weekend has been jam packed with activity. I basically didn't get much done. I had a disturbing sleep, not only from the Clomid and my husband's constant snoring, but also from reading The Kite Runner. The novel takes place in Afghanstan, in the 1970's. There is a hierarchy societal system; it sounds similar to the cast system... anyhow there is a loyal servant boy who gets raped for refusing to give a kite ( a symbol of honour for his boy master) to another boy (the town bully). His boy master had actually run to find his servant and in his cowardliness, he witnessed the ordeal and ran away from the situation, rather than stand up for his friend. You see, this boy master had no real friends, he considered this servant boy his "true" friend, but only one that he would declare a friend in "private".
We had a guest speaker for our sermon today. It was about a woman who in taking up the cross, was disowned by her muslim family. In fact, her family can be traced back to Mohammed. Her father was a diplomat and they were realatively wealthy. She went to a Christian college for 1 year to get credits to be admitted into university. It was at the college that she met someone who shared with her the words of the Bible and who Jesus was. It was later revealed that this friend was one of our pastors and when she was able to escape from her family, she came back to the US and married him. She was very passionate and I cannot even imagine how hard it must have been for her.
God has a plan for each and every one of us. We may not see it now, but He sees it.
