About 3 weeks ago I had to say goodbye to my Ethiopian brothers and sisters…and wow has a little bit of my heart been left with them. My time as a whole in Ethiopia was sweet. It had its bitter sweet moments and I wouldn’t trade it for the world! I’m going to miss the simplicity that came with Africa. No distractions. just me, some beautiful souls, and an overwhelming amount of Gods great love!
These kids showed me what it tangibly looks like to have a heart full of love and live with thankful hearts! Most of these kids have or are experiencing the “beauty in pain” these kids have not had it easy some don’t have parents at all, and some of there mothers are alone and to poor to take care of them. These kids wake up every morning with a huge smile, and counting every blessing! In my opinion I think these kids could be entitled to a lot of things…first a real life, a chance, an education. Instead of living in entitlement these kids live in gratitude. They know better than anyone that they don’t really deserve anything but they are blessed!
It’s really hard to move away from everything the last 3 months has had to offer. I’m sad and I’m gonna miss it everyday, but I know God has great plans for those kids and that place.
Now to the next adventure…I don’t know what it holds but I am ready and expectant for all the new beautiful things God is going to show me and the people around me!
