Oh my gosh, the past two days the weather has been beyond outstanding. Today it was in the 90's. We actually had to turn on the air conditioner today. Unfortunately I didn't have allot of time to enjoy it. Both days were filled to the brim. Luckily, its going to be nice the next two days so I am going to plant some flowers we bought yesterday and spend my day outside tomorrow.
Today was compassion day at church and they spoke about an organization that sponsors poor children in other countries. I cried through out the whole presentation. Needless to say, we are sponsoring both a girl and a boy. My little girls name is named Marieth she is from Tanzania, she turns 6 in two days. I am already in love with her. Our boys name is Felix he is from Peru and he just turned 6 in February. I cant wait to receive my first picture from my beautiful kids.
I had a rough night emotionally on Friday. I was holding my god-daughter dancing with her and out of no where my heart just broke. I still want so badly to dance with my own little girl and holding her was a reminder of just how beautiful this feeling is and how vacant my heart feels without her. I pray that this feeling one day subsides and I can move forward without this sadness in my heart.
Stephany, I empathize with your feelings of sadness. It is so hard to see reminders everywhere. Sponsoring children doesn't fill the void totally but it is a wonderful thing to do. I have two sponsored daughters--one from Guatamala that I have sponosored for quite some time and she is 15 now--it is a joy to get her letters. I started with another girl that is about 8 now--I just love them both and jump with joy every time I get a letter. I hope you enjoy your sponsored children and I hope that your heart heals. I really appreciate the support you continue to give to the rest of us. God Bless.
