Max Lucado

Right now I am reading an inspirational thoughts for each day of the year, written by Max Lucado. The book is called "Grace for the Moment" and even though I am a few days behind, this entry really did bless me. I hope it blesses you as well.


You are a great God.
Your character is holy.
Your truth is absolute.
Your strength is unending.
Your discipline in fair....
Your provisions are abundant for our needs.
Your light is adequate for our path.
Your grace is sufficient for our sins......
You are never early, never late......
You sent your Son in the fullness of time and will return at the consummation of time
Your plan is perfect.
Bewildering. Puzzling. Troubling.
But perfect.



As I live each day waiting and dreaming of the day that I am finally allowed to bring my children home to the United States with me, this small poem sure does fit. I cannot describe how difficult this is for me, but I wake each day and remind myself to keep my eyes on the Lord. He is protecting, He is providing, and I am sure that His timing is better than mine. Although, I could surely argue it at this point LOL. I don't understand the timing, I don't understand all of the struggles that are put in front of us on a daily basis. I am bewildered, I am very puzzled, and often greatly troubled by all that is put before us in this situation. But, with all that said, we are blessed. God's plan has made us a family and I praise Him for that. Clinging each moment to His promises that His timing is PERFECT.

I hope that this little poem blesses you as it has me. Sincerely, Cheri Kay

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!!!!
