Before the dinner bell rings....

The dinner bell is going to ring soon, but i wanted to send my greetings today. Today started out as a cool morning, but near the afternoon got very warm. Haiti is nearing the end of the raining season, but has not reached it yet. Most days it rains in the afternoon, but on the bright side it cools the day down. We have had a lot of laughs recently because the kids have been doing a good job at eating lets say, because we have changed many diapers after getting pooped on :) It was precious because this morning when we walked in through the gate and looked up on the balcony which has doors, and you see all the little ones lined up....just look and waving. One of my babies was up there and I said her name...and she gave me a beautiful smile. I feel like the kids have been warming up to us, and it is so neat to see. The more comfortable they become, the more we will be able to work with them. I am really enjoying them, because what is there not to love about them. Today the other volunteers and I were talking about these kids futures, and guessing what they may become because of their actions and features...so cute. I love walking in the room to pick them up, but I dread putting them back in the nursery after an hour, because they cry and don't like it. My goal is to meet with the Lord each morning on the porch, because I need to start each day with God's strength. If I don't..I will loose sight of my focus and purpose here. The balcony, where we play with the kids, overlooks several mountains which are absolutely breath-taking, and the phrase..."I look up to the mountain's and where does my help come from; my help comes from the maker of the heaven and earth." A good reminder. I was daydreaming today of what heaven will be like when all nations and tribes come together, and what a glorious place that will be. These kids are stealing my heart, but I hope to one day bring one of these babies home with me. We have been joking and scheming of all the possible ways to put one in our backpacks-unfortunately the bigger ones might not fit...but we are still looking for a way....much love, and thanks so much for all your prayers-because I can feel them. I am doing well, and feeling good. It is an answer to prayer.
P.S. Sorry that this tends to be scattered thoughts. I will continue to write as much as possible, but it all depends on weather, access, and time if I can write. Thanks again!
