my african babies out there...

i know its a few years off... but i cant help but dream and wish and pray for my sweet african child/ren out there. i lay awake at night wondering what they are doing and sad about the circumstances that surround them. yes they very well could be alive right now as i do not plan on adopting a baby but a child under the age of 4. my heart breaks for the little girls who often have to sell their bodies to put food in their bellies so two little girls is what i feel lead to believe will be in my arms what seems like forever away. but until then i will hold them close to my heart and as a constant reminder, my parents gave me a beautiful african necklace that i wear proudly all the time. i love you sweet babies im so sorry i cant rescue you right now. oh how i wish i could.

Another photograph to wrestle in my head
Another sleepless night on concrete featherbed
These thoughts of you like bullets to my soul
We’ve got to find a way to get you home

I’ll find a way to get you here
If it takes my fleeting breath
Another sunrise hits the ground
And it’s a dark lonely sight
Lightyears away I hope you know
There is somebody searching
For the way to get you here

I will get you here

Throw the clocks away and run out to the street
Food, Inc. buy

We’ll fly to distant clouds where it’s just you and me
A day will come when all of this is gone

The Battle of Midway buy

You’ve got to find a way to believe

I’ll find a way to get you here
If it takes my fleeting breath
Another sunrise hits the ground
And it’s a dark lonely sight
Lightyears away I hope you know
There is somebody searching
For the way to get you here
I will get you here

Close your eyes and dream of a better day with me
As angels hold you tight, may you sleep in peace tonight

So dream, dream, dream my child
Hear the whisperings of hope
305 release

It’s a song that you can sing, as you sleep in peace tonight

so your blog has not shown up in my reader for like 2 months and I have no idea why since I "follow" it! I was like, where is she?! Catching up on posts now. How exciting that God has laid your daughter/daughters on your heart, can't wait to see how the journey begins!
