It's been a bit
Hey! Sorry, it has been a little while since I wrote. There are over 7 volunteers here now..so the Internet is not as available. I am doing well. I was just thinking today about the slower pace of life that I am living these days, which is nice to be able to rest and reflect. I feel like I am always doing something, but it is not the constant go, go, go that we normally feel pressured to do. It is good to take each moment and savor each day. I need to learn to be able to savor each day more, but I am learning the importance of each of the moments I get. I feel like the weeks fly by, but the days seem longer. It has been really rainy in the evenings, which allowed for us to save water and take showers in the rain, which are fun. The rain we get in PA would never be heavy enough for shampoo to wash out, but here is another story. Today I went with Molly and another volunteer to take a child to the Doctors for a visit before she goes home. The traffic was bad, and we heard that there was going to be some demonstrations for riots...so we turned around, because it would not be safe for white persons to be in the area. It has been amazing to meet adoptive families...because it is such a blessing to hear their journey, and now be able to finally hold their child in their arms at last. It is amazing to see the glow on the parents faces when they interact with their child, because for some of them-all they have every seen of their child is a picture for the past 2-3 years. God is good, because he picks families that can meet a certain need of a child. God works in amazing ways. I will try to write again soon, but I hope all of you are doing well. Sending my love your way :)
