We think often of our family in the states... and how different life would be for us living there. We would be able to take nice HOT showers, eat the most special of foods, and most importantly enjoy our nieces and nephews as they grow. God has given us a beautiful grace to love Burundi and the people in the midst of our hearts longing for our family. We believe we are all challenged in our own ways by God to live lives that are truly not our own. Not necessarily in Burundi :o) Just living a life geared towards seeing and helping others to be loved, restored and to be the very person the Lord has destined them to be; as we all have amazingly important destiny's... We look at Malaki often as he is gazing into the sky smiling; we wonder what destiny the Lord has for him. Surly one that will be an example of the unrelenting love of the Father for His children. Malaki is growing up... we even put a pair of shoes on him today! They were his first gift from his daddy. All our love...
September, HURRY UP...can't wait for y'all to come home...
ReplyDeleteI know it's difficult but you are a very special family, loved and focused on, by Our Lord and Savior. Malaki is just too cute for words...love the shoes...can't wait to hug him (oh and both of you too). Love you
