As you may know, I am starting a series on my blog called “Meet the Faces.” This series will entail a different “face” every week; a glimpse into the stories that I’ve been blessed to hear. I’ve met some amazing people…and simply put, I want to share their stories. Sometimes, especially here in Africa, we are afraid to ask certain people for their story, because we don’t know how to handle their answer. But people need to be heard. And we need to be a people who want to listen. It doesn’t mean we can solve every problem in their story…and often times they aren’t asking you to.. what they may need in that moment is a listening ear. So today, I had the pleasure of meeting a man at the Tataquasi market named Divine. He has a story, and I can’t wait to share it!
So true, thanks for sharing. I look forward to reading his story. That is a good reminder to take the time to ask and to listen.
