So Blessed

Happy slightly belated Thanksgiving to you all!!
I hope you had a fantastic holiday and that you were truly able to enjoy your family and friends, as well as the blessings God so graciously pours out over us as His children. As many of you know I was able to fly back home to be with my family for this holiday. I will be staying through Christmas and be returning on 31st of December. Although I am so excited to be with my family and friends during this season, I am already missing my girls so much and will be ready to be with them once again when the time roles around.
There are so many things I have to be thankful for, not just during this Thanksgiving time, but everyday of my life. God has done so many things for me through this past year and has truly shown me His glory on levels I never before imagined. I have the blessing of seeing 118 beautiful Haitian children everyday I am in Haiti and I praise Him for bringing them out of a life of fear and lonliness and into a life of love, joy, and family. I have watched over time, as children who came to us severly malnurished, have been nourished to health. I have watched a finger literally regrow over a period of about two months, and I have seen "God-sized" prayer requests be answered right before my eyes. I am truly blessed. There are not words to describe my gratitude to my savior and my prayer for all of you as we continue through this season is to really look at your life and give God the glory, honor, and praise for all He has done in your life.

There are a few things I would appreciate if you would keep in your prayers:

- Keith and Hanna (resident missionaries in Haiti) along with some of our kids: Andy, Francisco, and TiRose currently have malaria and would greatly appreciate your prayers for a speedy recovery.
- Finances: Both for myself and for the mission in general. We are currently needing another generator. The one we currently have is not big enough to power all of our homes. We are still in the process of building our new Creche home but due to the generator situation and other immediate expenses that had to be met, the construction has taken a major slowdown.

Thank you all so much for your prayers and support as I continue to follow God in this amazing journey. May you all enjoy this Christmas season and take the time to remember the REAL meaning for this holiday! God bless you all!
This is my heart... for Him!
