Change.

When is all you can handle not enough?  In a world filled with such despair and hurt how can I be

"doing" enough to deserve my life? I realize how blessed I have been and feel so fortunate to be given a heart that craves change. One that longs for opportunity to make change. I pray that someday when my children are old enough to understand Ethiopian culture and the history from which they have come that I will be able to explain, to show and to encourage them to cherish their roots and change those things that may still be in need of change. I pray that their ways will touch more people than I could have hoped for. I feel honored to be adopted into Ethiopian culture through my daughter and very soon through my son. I hope to be a vessel for the people of Ethiopia and for Africa. My heart is connected and always will be. Amen.
