Back in the Swing

This week has been hard, but also wonderful. It is hard being back in the real world after being in Peru. Being thrown back into the responsibilities and expectations is difficult.I find myself feeling extremely relieved when I get anything done. In my mind, its just one more thing behind me and one less thing to worry about. My mom reminded me today not to get caught up in checking things off the list, but find joy and relish in each day...in the journey. I am blessed to have a mom who knows me well and can speak this wisdom over me.

I am struggling to maintain focused on much at all. I am still dealing with major imprints on my heart, placed there by faces like these...

I fell in love with these precious faces, these precious hearts. Jesus is what we have in common and that is a strong bond.
