Korah

"It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.”
~Mother Teresa

I've realized in recent days that I have not allowed myself to truly process all that I saw and experienced while in Ethiopia to bring my daughter home. For 6 months I have placed all these thoughts on the backburner of my heart, soul & mind because, well to be honest, because it hurts to take it all in. I have really been wrestling lately with how I live my life here in comfortable America, knowing that not everyone lives like me. Most days I feel very torn between wanting to consume more and more stuff and wanting to sell everything I own and move my family to Ethiopia. What a paradox I am.

I would like to introduce you to the land of my daughter Jane Leilet. These are her people. I see so much beauty when I watch this video. So much beauty--in spite of the pain that rips my heart when I watch it. That is what I loved most about Ethiopia. The joy on the faces of people who had nothing. It was a joy that I don't know that I've truly experienced in my life. To be satisfied by Jesus alone. Jesus alone. Would you be satisfied in HIM if you lived like this:
