i want to comfort
every child, who has
seen things that
can't be forgotten.
kiss their foreheads and erase
the memories that 
might haunt them.
but
the world's so big
and i'm only one person.
and
how do i tell them
they have a Father who
loves them, when they
don't even know what love is.

i can't reach them all,
but
maybe i could help one.
love one.
and maybe you could help one.
and love one.
maybe togther
we could make a difference.
let's do for one what
we wish we could do 
for all. 

-p.l.t

waiting: Africa

While at the St. Louis zoo I got this beautiful handmade journal. (It's actually made from elephant poop, how cool is that?!?)

I've decided to open it when I'm on the plane to Africa.
But that is in 3 years or more.

Right now all I can do is wait.
and pray.
and learn as much as I can.

So I'm gonna do that! I'm gonna do everything I can to grow closer to Jesus and learn about midwifery, Africa, learn languages, etc. I'm officially learning French with the awesome Duolingo and I'm on level 3!! IT. IS. SO. AWESOME!! And I'm learning a lot!! When I get pretty far into it I want to start Spanish, and then Swahili. I'm literally so pumped about this and am sooo happy!!
I'm learning infant disease/genetic diseases that can be passed on. There's some interesting stuff! Also a lot of other stuff! =D I already have a midwife that says she will take me at 16, and I'm really excited about that too!
But of course if it's the Lord's will. I know it is the most important thing to keep Him in the center, things will go best like that, even if I don't think  so. ➴➵➶

So yep. That's it. Just sharing thoughts on what I'd love my future to be!!

    Do you have any prayer requests?
    What do you want to be when you're older?? =DD

Africa 💛
