Inima mea este în România.

Inima mea este în România :: My heart is in Romania

I know now that things are different. I left half of my heart back in Romania with the babies, the moms, and our other new friends. We are all missing that beautiful country, and I'm slowly realizing that my heart can never be whole now. My family is here, but I've left pieces of myself in Bucharest. God will connect the two somehow. I'll be back to Romania - I just know it. Things are different, but I'd never go back to the way they were before. 

"Here am I. Send me!" Isaiah 6:8

Bittersweet

We are all safely back in the States. I think I speak for my whole team when I say we are so glad to see our families and friends, but we miss Romania! We miss our babies, our friends, the city.

Enjoy this picture, taken about 4am on our last night in Bucharest. Wonderful friends and wonderful memories.

Homeward bound

Our last group hug in Europe!! We are boarding now and will arrive in ATL on schedule. Praying for a safe and uneventful flight.

We are in Paris!

We've arrived safely at our hostel. Safe and timely travels. We are exhausted so we are getting some food and going to bed.

Flying time

Our team has safely departed from Romania and arrived in Germany. We are boarding out connecting flight to Paris.

Hard Goodbyes

Today we are leaving Romania for Paris. There are so many people I'm going to miss dearly, this little girl being one of them. We spent a lot of time together, so leaving her is hard. Everyone here has touched my life in an amazing way and I will miss them so much! Romania will always hold a special place in my heart. I wish I came prepared with waterproof mascara!

God's Love!

I will miss this precious little face! As I was holding him, God reminded me how we are like this little child and all he wants to do his hold us in his arms and love on us. Strong word that I needed to hear! :)
