Little praises

Mbamie finally passed her driver's test! It was a monumental task for her to get through the learners and the driver's has been just as hard, but she finally did it. Now there is a possibility for her to get an easier and better paying job once offered to her on the local air force base. She has done so well to persist with this and I'm proud for her accomplishing this. Even her husband doesn't have a license. She is a very smart woman, but being practically illiterate even in her own language makes life so tremendously difficult. It is a real disability, that has nothing to do with intelligence, but life circumstances can just lead to issues like this. She for one has never been to school. Hard to believe coming from this side of the planet since she is only in her mid-twenties.

Also, Meshell's son made the A-B honor role. This is so awesome as he has a ton of obstacles as one living in poverty to overcome so that he can excel in a classroom environment.

I don't usually do this, but I have stumbled across a couple of amazing movies at the library. They have opened the world to us and so I wanted to share our discoveries.

China Cry is based on the true story of a woman who grew up in China, and had a privileged life until communism came. She came to faith more through harrassment by the government than through the Christian private school she attended. She goes to an underground church that agent B said " now that kind of church, I could get into". It is a moving tale of the persecution she endured as well as the graciousness, power and provision of the CEO in her life.

Water is a heartbreaking tale exposing the treatment of widows in India during the time of Ghandi. The main character is an 8 year old widow how is sent to live with other widows- as according to their religious beliefs. It powerfully shows the need for love, care and justice above religious tradition.
