For as much Joy as we've had on this journey to Martha and Ethiopia, we've also had our hearts broken by being here. We would not be responsible if we didn't share the heart break, as well as the joy.
We share some pictures of this Country and its people that we can truly say that we love - they are beautiful, kind, gracious, patient and loving. As you join us in Praising God today for the addition of Martha Joy to our family, please also pray for the woman and her children washing themselves in a mud puddle and for the street children who were always wanting to sell us something. They are all so beautiful and they matter to God.
As we prepare to start our journey back home tomorrow, part of our hearts will be left here with Martha (thankfully only short term!) and part will be left here with her people - whom we will pray for and hold in our hearts.
We hope you have learned something about the beautiful land of Ethiopia as you've shared in our GREAT JOY on this journey. We continue to Praise God tonight for each and every bit of it - we know God's hand has been present through it all and He has joined us with our Martha - to Him be the Glory!
