In my heart

In my heart is a game my daughter and I play. When we want something that we can't have or give we pretend that it IS by saying
"In my heart..........." In my heart I'm with you, In my heart I'm giving you this......

Yesterday I invited someone else into our game.
My friend and her family left for Ethiopia yesterday.
I called her and told her about our game we call "in my heart"
I told her I was working all week and couldn't do what I wanted to do so..............

In my heart I am at home and you, Jurvaun and a few of your closest friends (which apparently I just declared myself to be)
are with you.
We are sitting outside on my veranda and we are talking, laughing and drinking iced tea.
We are talking about your trip to Ethiopia.
We are praying for you and your family.
We are praying for the connections that will be made.
We are praying for your children, that there will be a seed of connection planted in their hearts for Ethiopia.
In my heart we are praying for that place you will find that will be home to you.
In my heart I am reminding you of the covenant that God made with you.
The covenant that you will go as a family and come home as a family.
In my heart I am telling you that I love you and
I am proud of you.
