December 11, 2011


You all take hints very well!  
"Like cold water to a weary soul is good news [any news] from a distant land."  Proverbs 25:25
Thank you for the e-mails that many of you have sent.  And the blog comments.  
Such a tall drink of cold water.  So needed.  

Today is the one week mark since we got Josie G. 
Today is the best we've had yet.  
It was a calm, stay-in-the-hotel-room day.  Lots of coloring, playdoh, stickers, snacks...

One week from today we will be home.  Can't get here soon enough.
Trying, though, to remember that I need to focus on now, not next week.
Every day with Josie is a day that we can connect and God can heal.
Heeding these words, "...look carefully and listen closely and pay attention to everything I am going to show you,
for that is why you have been brought here."  Ezekiel 40:4

  4. when we went to GZ to visit the girls orphanage in April there was a big christmas tree in the lobby, all decorated...so odd!

    remember the little blind girl that was friends with our girls, the one I met in the orphanage? Today was her gotcha day with my blog friend Donna.
    You may see them around the island!
