Did you say "AFRICA" grandpa?!?

Annie holding her "Africa" folder.
Ever since Annie overheard her Grandpa say he would be in Kenya this August, it's set off an independently produced 24-7 sales campaign for her to be included. I'm doing little to tamp down her excitement, since it's a place I've also fantasized about visiting after weeping my way through the plight of Baroness Blixen. Annie's obsession is more recent though, ignited by an incredible concert we attended in December. Whenever anyone responds to her pleading with a generic "we'll have to see," she corrects them, "No, we need to pray about it." And when she convinces us to accept the deal to pray, she's goes happily on her way. I am quite sure this has much to do with the last major request she asked for, and we told her to pray about it:
What have we set ourselves up for?

How old is Annie? I am impressed by her penmanship - and feeling the pressure! :)

God has great things for her! You may "set yourself up" but He will direct your path! :-)

Will be in your area today to celebrate Lunar New Year at the New Cumberland Library 2-4
