I didn’t expect to fall head over heels in love with these kids. I am so in love with my children. They light up my life. They make my every day worthwhile. There are so many things that I love about my life in Honduras, but more than anything I love twenty-three little faces. I have learned a new love. I never knew I had the capacity to love in this way. I didn’t expect that.
I surely did not expect to bear their grief. I did not expect my heart to break over their heartbreak. I never expected to be so wrapped up in love that I would find myself in tears grieving over their life’s circumstances. I only wish I could bear their burdens for them. I wish I could take the brunt in their stead.
The Lord has blessed me abundantly, twenty-three times over.
