The Longing Is Painful



I don't know how to describe it. But, in a rudimentary way, I'll try. There isn't a day that I don't think about the children I met in Uganda. Sometimes, I can close my eyes and smell the dirt, feel the humidity, hear the giggles, and feel the children touching my skin. I know it's hard for others to understand.........but, I could really live there. What a better way to live my life then serving God's most vulnerable people. It' not realistic, I know..............but by doing the things I'm trying to do with work in Uganda, I at least hope that I can have an impact. On a happy note, I have had a few friends who have recently been successful in adoption in Uganda. I've also enjoyed following a blog about the Penner family who brought home two children. One step at a time..............we can all change the direction of the world.
