I think I have the greatest church family EVER!!!!!

We are so blessed! I am really feeling the love of God's family these past 2 weeks. When God says that He adopts us into His family....HE MEANS IT!!!!! Sometimes that is hard to get through my thick skull that I am important to someone else and that when I accepted Christ into my life, I gained a whole new family of people that embrace me and my children!

I see this through the actions of my church family. Today alone, part of my "family" picked up my table and chairs from the store and BROUGHT it to MY HOUSE, someone else drove us to the store, and someone else watched my kids while I had to go to an appointment. This all fell into place at basically the last minute and God worked everything out so incredibly smoothly. I put the table together (with only one blister as evidence!! ) and so after almost 2 weeks of eating our dinner on the dinning room floor, we have a beautiful dinning room table! We love Ikea too Mrs. deBlaeij!!!!! :) :) :)

I just want to say that I am so blessed. I am so happy. I am so amazed even to this day that I actually have these TWO AMAZING AND PRECIOUS children in my home and sleeping in their beds in the room right next to mine. It still seems surreal and sometimes tears come to my eyes, what a miracle.

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!!!!
