Life is all about relationships.
Today, my sister Susie (Core Blue with secondary Yellow) taught us just how true that statement is. Susie recently spent a week in Africa serving and loving people. While there she met Didier. Didier (pronounced Didyay) is 22 years old and has been an orphan most of his life. His life was spared, as a child, by hiding under the dead bodies of his parents after they were slaughtered by rebels in this most troubled part of the world.
Didier and Susie created a relationship. He asked if he could be her son. Would she be his Mama? Of course Susie was pleased to say yes. So, I have a new nephew, and brother, in Africa.
This is an email he wrote to his new Mama yesterday. It is a MUST READ, and speaks volumes about what the ultimate MOTIVE for living…LOVE…and LIFE is really all about. Thank you, Susie.
Dear Mama,
I first of all inform you that I am well satisfied of the whole labour than on my behalf, Mama; I don't know how I can show my gratefulness in the short letter as such. I feel your affection, love in my heart. I saw the picture of my whole family and I was very pleased. You will tell to all tat I love them so much. I a planning one day to see them. I have faith in God that one day I will be with them. Mama don’t be afraid I will obey you in my all student an professional life. I will follow all your advices. I will accept all your calling in term of need. You are the person I love so much though the far distance I am with you in spiritual realms even in my all thoughts. You can’t have a sleep because of me who is your son, I will never stop thinking *g about your contacts that you had became of the parenthood towards me. It will be a very big history to generation and generations, In Africa an in USA. I accept that it was at the last minutes that we let its was God Plan. Be sure and conscientious that I have all my confidence in you. That is why I have accepted to tell you all secret that are inside me. The Lord chose you to be my mother and my family. I will never fear nothing. I have faith that I will be a man who will represent you in Africa. Because I do not have any other member in Africa. I love you so well. I will write to entire family to whom you gave me the emails address and I will reserve copies to you.
Thank you, I will follow all you told me regarding my family.
You will read in the Bible in Ruth 1:16, 17,18
Your family is my family regarding God and You. I keep wait the package that you sent me. Would you send me your photo, together with Daddy so that I may be able to identify you well. Mama, I want to talk to you something wonderful which I did not live in Africa, Mama, at my current age, I have 22 years, I never seen or hear people saying about my grand parents in Africa. There is no, any history about them. Today I get my parents in USA. Ooh! Glory be to God. God who spared me to the terrific war, he wants to slow me the wonders of this world. I will glorify you in my all life. I will never hide all that you are showing me. I will testify it in the whole world. I will embrace them, here I say on my grand parents, grant mother and grand daddy BENSON. Mum, tell them that I need to see their picture and if they can tell me in short about their story or if they have written any book, they can send me a copy. It will help me to know them spiritually, historically and physically. Mama, tell them that I have said that they are the blessed people as Abraham as they reach this age. At the moment I telling I am also blessed to get my parents in the USA, Mama tell them that I wish them good health forever. I am attached to them, I thank them or having sent me things which will support my studies.
May the Lord bless them.
Please excuse me because I replied in late.

May God bless you

Van and Tammy, thank you for including Didier and me in your blog. It has been so wonderfully amazing to see the Holy Spirit transcend continents and oceans to watch over a relationship. It will be fun to see what He does with it!!
You guys are doing such great work and touching so many lives. Congratulations on your success and may God continue to bless you with many, many opportunities to share the importance of good relationships. After, there's not much else worth working for here on this earth other than healthy, happy relationships!!
Keep up the good work and Mungu aku bariki!! (That's God bless you in Swahili!!) I love you guys. susie
