Who Am I?
I am a mother to some of these motherless children, a friend to everyone, a teacher to my class, a lifeguard to the students of our school, a missionary of the Lord, a discipler to Ncobile, Nomvula, and Fikelephi, a traveler of the world, a follower and disciple of Christ, a student of everyone and everything around me, a work in progress, a photographer of the things I see, a cook for “my family,” a piece of clay being formed and reformed, a writer of my life and experiences, a counselor to these children, a leader, a follower, a woman.
It depends on the day and the time and the moment…but at one point or another I am one or many of these things everyday. I am learning so much in my life. I am learning about myself. I am learning about others. I am learning about God. I am being stretched sometimes more than I could have imagined I would be stretched. I am being challenged all of the time. I am working hard. I am building relationships. I am forming unbreakable bonds. I am constantly learning. I am experiencing life abundantly and I am loving it. (Most of the time anyway).
I am dependent on Jesus Christ. I truly rely on him for my strength. He is my provider. He is my counselor, friend, teacher. So things are good.

Great commentary, Princess. You can be confident that we admire your good works in a world of folks who so often do so little personally to help others outside their own immediate family, and that too often only when required.
