Ready To Go

It has been a long, hard 3 weeks since being back in Canada... Those little children's faces ingrained in my mind and the staff's love on my heart. I have kept in touch with a couple of the staff members through e-mail and text (thank goodness for modern technology or I would be driving myself crazy!) which has been so nice for checking up with the center, but definitely  no where close to being as good as being there myself. I have been thinking about my little girls so often, their pictures hung all around my house, and one of them in a locket I keep around my neck at all times. I wonder if they are thinking of me.. Or if they have gone home... Maybe something has happened.. Maybe they have learned a new word, or taken first steps. All things that I am missing. My heart longs for Guatemala, and as the old saying goes; "home is where your heart is." Guatemala is where my heart is, Guatemala is my home.

You know it is an addition, a place really set on your heart when the day you step off the plane back "home"and everyone is excited to see you and asking about your trip and you get that cliche question "bet your glad to be back hey?!" and you burst into tears because no... your not glad to be back... you want to be with your babies half way around the world.

I am planning to go back, but sadly I don't know when yet... I need the time and money that with the grace of God will come soon. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.
