Had a dream last night about adopting two Syrian girls. I've been working on Olive Branch, my second book in which Dahlia runs a refuge/home for children displaced in the war. When I awoke, it reminded me to begin the research on immigrants to the Boise area. Their presence is becoming more and more apparent, from seeing women wearing the hijab in Wal-mart to the other day when I saw a family working in a field, dressed in traditional garb and bending at the waist to harvest vegetables they had grown. It could have been a scene from the Turkish countryside. I imagine that as we settle here and have more time, I will find a way to get involved. It is a ministry I was prepared for years ago; I would never have expected this particular place or time... But God is the ultimate chess player.
