Raising Flags: The Start of Something Good

http://jennifer-raisingflags.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-start-of-something-good.html

Saturday, September 6, 2014. The Start of Something Good. Should I use everyday as a preaching opportunity? Is my relationship with my students most important? Can I push my students to think outside their Christian school bubble? Is it possible to even do any of these things successfully, while still trying to maintain healthy relationships outside of work? I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Raising Flags: September 2013

http://jennifer-raisingflags.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html

Wednesday, September 18, 2013. Hawa and some of her sibs, coming through. The compound to get water. I was chopping onions furiously, turning my head ever so slightly to the right as to not catch a draft of the stinging fumes, when I heard Hawa’s familiar voice. Ita kweis…”. Knowing that my ever-curious (ever-loitering) thirteen-year-old neighbor didn’t merely want to know how I was doing, I put down the knife, brushed my wet hands on my skirt, and went out to see what she needed. My ears perked up.

Raising Flags: October 2013

http://jennifer-raisingflags.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html

Tuesday, October 29, 2013. What’s in a name? Here in South Sudan, a name means much, and each person has three. It tells how you came into this world and how your mother will remember you. It gives your father’s name and your tribe’s religious history. Your three names follow you like a shadow, whispering family stories of dead siblings, beloved pastors, difficult births, and earth-shaking storms. These stories of self greet all of those with whom you come into contact. Granted, I can’t speak a lic...

Raising Flags: July 2013

http://jennifer-raisingflags.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, July 25, 2013. It is difficult for me to say “no.”. It is especially hard to say “no” to someone in Africa. It seems sinister to deny anything to a dirty, underfed child, who looks up at you with the biggest, darkest eyes. The same thing goes with that tired, elderly man, who teaches a class of seventy students and tells you that he doesn’t even receive chalk from the government. Everyday I’m confronted with requests from Sudanese people. 8221; or “salaam.” If you look out the w...They will tak...

Raising Flags: Explaining an End: The Bad

http://jennifer-raisingflags.blogspot.com/2014/08/explaining-end-bad.html

Wednesday, August 13, 2014. Explaining an End: The Bad. Of course, there were some bad parts to my goodbye trip in Mundri.
