Still waiting.........

We are still waiting for good news from the Minister of Interior here in Haiti. This office needs to approve our dossier before it can be sent to Immigration for passports. We have been waiting for this now for 4 months. It is unfortunate that this country and it's systems are so broken. I know that God has a purpose for me here in this country and I am blessed to be with my children. I know that many others are waiting for their kids and they can't be with them. I thank the Lord every night for the protection and provisions that He has provided to allow me to be here with my children, for their health and their lives. I strive to use each day here in Haiti as an opportunity to help and I am happy to do the therapy with each kid and adult that I am so blessed to see. I spent yesterday doing therapy with a couple of kids and spent Monday and Tuesday helping in a mobile medical clinic. I hope that each day I am here, I am a blessing to this country. I do hope too, that soon, I'll be able to take my babies home to meet their family and all of the people that have been so faithful in their love, support, and prayers for us. Without you, I would not have the opportunity to be here in Haiti with my children or have the opportunity to help anyone else here in Haiti. Please continue to pray with me that God will move the hands of the men in these offices and that our dossier will be signed and moved on for passports. Please also praise Him as he has protected us and continues to protect us here in this country and His provisions of food, shelter, and financial means have been supported when many times, I have been unsure as to how we were going to make it from one day to the next.

Thanks so much for all of your love!

Art, Ecrissa, and her friend!!!

So, I think, Ecrissa has an imaginary friend and she is so cute with this little friend. She will often look off to the the side and use sign language with this little friend. Sometimes I'll tell Ecrissa to "come" and she'll actually look up at her "friend" and sign "wait", telling her friend to wait for her there!!! It's so cute. Anyway, the two video's are with my friend Art, who apparently was introduced to Ecrissa's friend. He even got to share his food with her! My digital camera takes video without sound, so there isn't any sound with this, but really, the only sound missing is Ecrissa's giggling all the way through!!!!!! This is the second bit, where you can actually see Ecrissa giggle!!!!! My little girl sure does keep me on my toes and laughing!!!! Gotta love her to pieces!!!!!

We are home.

Wow!!!!! What a day!!!!! We (and I mean all three of us!!!! Wow, my kids are in the states!!!! What an amazing thing!) have arrived in MI and made it safely to my dad's house. It was a long day, but the kids did really well. They loved the airplane and Jaryse loved looking at "the city" as we flew over Miami last night. I held it all together until we landed in Miami and I heard the pilot or whoever say "welcome to Miami" at that point I cried. I couldn't believe I had actually made it to the USA with my two little munchkins. I had a smooth time through immigration both in Port au Prince and in Miami, and both flights went smoothly. I am so thankful to the Lord for protecting us through this whole ordeal and making these last few steps easier than the first few! I am still in a bit of shock, although, it might just be that I am FREEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZING. Maybe after I get used to the cold my brain and body will work a little more efficiently! I am so t...

So, today at about 2:37, I was driving and I prayed to the Lord, Father, I know this isn't too big for you! I really really would like passports today. I know the office is almost closed, but Father, please, let them release my passports, if the guy has already checked, please lay it on his heart to check again and let the office release them! I prayed this prayer, until I parked my car, about 2:40, walked into a store, walked out and noticed a missed call at 2:45, I called it back, it was the guy who was checking on passports---WE GOT THEM!!!!!! WE HAVE OUR PASSPORTS!!!!!!!!! Did you hear a really loud OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was me this afternoon! I am so very very excited! I can hardly think straight! Thank you for all your prayers!!!! I know they work! I see it in my life everyday, and I am convinced! Prayer is powerful!!!!!! Praise the Lord for He is GOOD!!!!
