Note from the Author:
The point of my blog is to openly journal the account of a two year sojourn to northern Africa. I will attempt to put into writing the deeper, hmm and maybe not so deep, memories and thoughts from this journey. This narrative is written through my own account of circumstances that have happened and thus the reader must realize the tint of my own lenses when interpreting any of its contents. All names are changed, of course, to protect identity. There are 4-7 main characters to begin with-that may change as the chapters carry on (but hopefully it will not).

Preface:
The Centre is surrounded by vast, hilly terrain, and covered with rigid shards of firm grass sticking out of the earth, frozen in unwavering place. It is a land in itself secluded from the outside. Thick patches of trees adequately isolate it from the frozen exterior scenery. The Father has intricately refined each of the sojourners in his perfect way to bring them here. The refining, even though it continues, has brought each of them to this place at this exact time to serve his purpose and to bring glory to his name. While each has their own account of the beauty and pain that has been revealed during his purification process, they can be seen as one in the same, brothers and sisters in the family of grace.
