Heroes, part 3

I have a Liberian sister - a beautiful, young woman that just never ceases to amaze me. Chris is a fellow crew member on the Africa Mercy, and she a walking testimony of God's grace and faithfulness.

She experienced horrible things during the civil war in Liberia; things you would think would completely destroy the joy of life.

And yet she smiles. Not all the time, of course.

But she seems to have a deep, deep sense of God's love for her, and that brings out her smile, even if she has seen enough to keep the smile off her face for a lifetime.
I just love her smile! She is a constant reminder to me of the fact that there really is a God who is able to keep us even through the roughest times, and that we must never give up!
Chris, you are my hero, and I am honored to be your friend:-) Jorid
