anticipation


Check out this beautiful skyline...ahhhh...

Lately I have found myself daydreaming about being in Thailand. I guess that's a good thing, huh? With each passing day I anticipate the journey even more...waiting...waiting...

Conversely, the horrors in Myanmar as of late have hurt my heart so deeply as I think about the amount of human suffering that goes on there. I can't even fathom the despair and pain the people are going through. But I also feel such pride in Thailand's response to the cyclone victims: the Thai Air Force has already dropped supplies and were some of the first to respond. The government has been trying to reason with Myanmar and allow more foreign aid to pass through the borders. The people of Thailand are trying to help their neighbors and fellow humans. My heart swells with pride for a nation that is not quite my own, but is slowly becoming another home for my body and my heart.

So I wait...anticipating...praying for a ready heart, mind, body, and soul.

Hi Heather! This is Mallorie Bailey. (The random person you met during lunch at camp.) I told you I'd leave you a message, so I am.
