Your family is a wonderful model of God's diverse Kingdom.<br /><br />Funny thing, I just read your last blog post about going back to Ghana a few minutes ago! How awesome is that! I always knew you and Curtis were destined for some great works for the Lord. Love you much Girl.carlaahendrickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07603156035139082071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866854387137046160.post-61506333226711318752011-04-30T10:45:18.219-05:002011-04-30T10:45:18.219-05:00Thanks Carla! I never thought much of racial issue...Thanks Carla! I never thought much of racial issues until I moved to the south. I had been teased as a child, growing up in an all Caucasian private school. But for the most part California is so diverse that it just didn't cross my mind much. After coming to STBC I realized it's still a problem in the U.S. and now I remember how there were so many gang fights in CA that stemmed from race and so many stereotypes are made there as well. I guess I was just blind to it. I'm blessed to say that I have dear friends of many races and Of course our little family is a mix of Caucasian, African American, Hispanic and Native American... and what if God called us to adopt one day... who knows what else will be added! :) I love the Kingdom of God--so diverse! :) Love you Carla.Monique Zackeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16014152088419663748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866854387137046160.post-67099032474746778772011-03-29T01:19:43.885-05:002011-03-29T01:19:43.885-05:00Thank you, you are kind to me.

And, by the way, I think we are 90% sure we are going back home. I will send you a long e-mail to tell you the details of that decision.
