My heart aches,,,

“We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.” MT



I cant believe its been 5 years since i first laid eyes on those precious little faces. i remember stepping off the plane onto Africa soil and loving every moment of it. the air,the smell,the weather,the presence of the people. it was all so different but i loved it. when i tell people about how beautiful Africa really is they call me crazy..Africa is not all like the jungles, its not this hot,dry waist land.

Its so beautiful!

Mountains,rolling sandy hills, animals, Beautiful people,markets,music,food.My most favorite part of being in Africa was being able to love on the children, so many orphans. it broke my heart especially the ones that are sick but have no idea what there future in tales.being able to hug and love on those children drastically changed my life..No longer was i this selfish,needy person..Instead selfless and compassionate..

Buuuuuuut NO! Texas decided to shut down its entire system due to dangerous weather conditions.. It literally was like 70 degrees yesterday, my kids were playing outside in shorts. in shorts you guys!  BAM today its 25 degrees, sleet, snow and icy roads. Oy snow days are not for the weak. having to entertain 4 children who cant play outside alllllll day and throw in a 6 month old who is the sweetest cutest spoiled little thing who likes, scratch that DEMANDS to be carried all hours of the day. My older two who are in school kicked nap time to the curb once they started school for obvious reasons. So getting them to nap along with the younger siblings is like pulling teeth.. haha seriously!  Id like a snow day from this ...
