Today was a super discouraging day. People's situations here just seem so hopeless. Poverty feels like this unbreakable circle, that no matter what we do people will still be in the same horrible sad discouraging situation. The phrase/song/prayer "break my heart for what breaks yours" sucks. It's not fun or awesome or something that makes me feel closer to God. It's just heartbreak.
At the same time, today I saw two of my favorite favorite kids. A 3rd grader, Emmanuel, from purpose driven academy and Sammy, a 4th grader from discover to recover. I hugged them, kissed them, hugged them some more. As sad as kenya can be, thinking of reuniting with these two boys makes me SO HAPPY.
