Romania
In 9 days, i'll be leaving for romania.
for 6 months, i'll be spending time with babies, kids, and teens who have lived life without the blessing of a family of their own. sometimes i feel so inadequate to be the one to love them.
Father, won't you give me the strength to do it each day? won't you fill me up with your love to love on them? confirm in my heart that you have called me, and you will faithfully equip me for the task. do your work, Father.
and Lord, let me be like mary instead of martha. i want to sit at your feet in your presence as i prepare to leave, instead of worrying about so many details like martha. i give you control, Father. it will all come together in Your hands...and i know you will provide.

Amy! Saw your note on my blog and thought I'd send you a hello... I am continually amazed by you and the power and strength that you have (you'd never guess by your little hands that I've always been jealous of...). You are willing, even despite all fear and anxiety, to go where you are called to. You are like a ship docked at sea and you're willing to cut the ropes anytime and let the waters carry you anywhere. You're an inspiration and you're influential. There's no question you will make an impact on this world in a place only you were meant to fill. My prayers are with you Amy!
Uhh...I think you're a nice boat, too.
Really, what can I add to that last comment and your prayer!? All I can say is that I agree and I am praying too.
