I've changed.
Anyone can see that.
But really, It's not just on the outside. I'm changed on the inside.
Big time.
I think anyone would be different after a trip across the earth.
But now it's SO clear.
Before it was just a feeling, a hope.
It's more now.
I knew Orphans were such a huge part of my life.
It started as a poke, then a bump, a shove.
Now I'm sitting on the floor.
Spending time at the Hallers, New Hope, and Shepherd's Field has shaken me.
After seeing, and holding, and loving these precious children... I have lost alot of selfishness.
Cause no matter what I go through, it will never be as hard as what they go through.
Each and every one of those children. Are SO beautiful and precious.
But a majority I people only see a face.
I see their hearts.
It's in their eyes.
If you look, you truly look, deep in their eyes you can hear their hearts saying:
Hold me,
Love me,
Feed me,
Save me.
Have I every been abandoned?
Have I ever been treated like dirt?
Have I never been loved?

I would like to go to China sometime, but maybe not for two weeks :) It would be pretty expensive to go there...all of us, and I don't want to be away from my family!
AWESOME post. This is so true for me too. Although I've never been, I know I will someday.
I know! Me too! I love it there. Every time we go, I love it more and more! Maybe one day we can go together? ;)
Oh, Emma, this is EXACTLY how I felt when we got back from China in 2010. I totally get this. I can't wait to go back!
God bless you!
Joy :)
That would be SO much fun to go together! Who knows!?
Emma
Beautiful and powerful!
Love you,
Mom
