Singing in Sierra Leone

One of my experiences in Sierra Leone that blessed my heart was all of the singing, both by the children and the adults. We woke up in the morning to the sounds of the home children singing during devotions; we watched as the students started their day praising the LORD; we listened as the aunties sang for their devotions together; we joined the Freetown national teachers in a praise and devotion time; and we worshiped our Father together on Sunday morning. I was able to capture a few moments of the children singing that I wanted to share with you. I was reminded of their singing this morning while reading Isaiah 55-

"For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing; and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands."



"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."

Hi Nicole, I forgot to tell you earlier today that it was so fun to listen to that song. It's amazing how songs can be universal. See you tomorrow.
