holding these children for the first time...
being able to kiss their foreheads,
and comb through their hair.
I dream of changing a diaper,
holding a bottle,
and singing a lullaby.
I dream of getting on an airplane, getting in a car, and driving down an unknown road in an unfamiliar land to meet the babies I feel like I already know in my heart. I know I have never been so excited to travel for 2 days straight without showering or sleeping in a bed. I don't care how uncomfortable I may be...All I want is to be in Africa.
I pray I can be all I need to be for them. I know tomorrow will be exactly 6 weeks until we leave. I am so excited and I fear that my excitement wil make the days move slower. Oh how I am so ready to meet them. I am trying to prepare myself for Ethiopia. I know it will change me forever. I know that my experiences there will shape my future.
