As we drove away from the Lira Miracle Crusade on the bus I couldn't help but be concerned:
Did we get everyone?
Did someone do a headcount?
How do we know we got everyone?
I can’t help it; it’s the teacher in me. No one was nearly as concerned: they knew everyone would get on the bus. Not because everyone was ready to leave in fact, many of them wanted to stay. But because the kids know. The kids know the alternative. They know that if they don’t get on the bus they are stuck in town without food or a bed that night. They know what sleeping on the streets is like; all of them with firsthand experience. And not a single one wants to repeat that.
They'll make sure they're on the bus because they are part of SGU's family, and they know the alternative.
xox.
