Entertaining Angels

Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
~ Hebrews 13:2

Life is full of strangers. Everyone is a stranger at some point.

For the past few months, I have been in constant contact with strangers. More importantly, I've been "the stranger" in most circumstances. It's obvious that I arrived as a foreigner in Cairo and that I remain a stranger in many ways everyday. Yet, somehow being a stranger has become so "normal" now.

This blog is going to be about strangers. Who knows- you may be reading this and I am a stranger to you. You will read this and the people I write about will be strangers to you. They were once strangers to me too. Some of them will remain as unfamiliar characters, but many will unfold as loving friends and invaluable people in my life. I've been entertaining them and they've been entertaining me.

Let's try to change that. Let's break down the walls that make all of us strangers to each other. Welcome to the life of this stranger- an American girl, fresh out of college, living in Cairo, Egypt serving Sudanese refugees

This is the start of my story. The story of entertaining angels.
