THE NUMBER 4

Since July 27, 2017 I have fought to get my dossier completed.  Document after document just when will it end.  After rushing last week to what I thought was our last 4 documents I found out today ther was another 4 documents needing to be done.  This means 4 more notarized ones, 4 more apostilles and also 4 more hours to drive to Baton Rouge and another 4 hours back... 

This also means 4 times $20 for notary                         ($80)
Apostilles 4 times $20                                                    ($80)
Gas to get there and back for 570 miles                         ($114.00)
Breakfast, lunch and dinner while on the road around    ($40)      
                                                                                           ($314.00)


Prayers said during this trip 5 MILLION AND 4 prayers, pee breaks every 30 minutes if I leave later in the morning.  So I get up early so they will still be a little sleepy and sleep a little extra so no pee stops.  Jake I hook up to his feeding pump so no worries on feeding him, he'll have a full tummy.  But praying no poopies there and back..  Jake loves to ride in the car so he sits quietly as I drive.  Now Poppy she talks and talks and talks and bugs Katya.  Well Chrissie she reads and Patrick is has his ear buds in and rocks with the music.  And me I pray and pray and pray.

God guide me through this last 4 documents.  Get them there by this weekend so on Monday they head over to my soon to be new children's country. Bless each document as it is stamped and notarized.  It is not just pieces of paper but two children needing homes.  Our Home in our family...

No words

There are just some days where there are no words that can  take away from pain and heart ache. This pass week we were robbed, our precious cat got ill, once again funds lost.  Still we are blessed.  A neighbor is killed by two young man breaking into a neighbors car, a man loses his girlfriend and his unborn son a day before his child is delivered.  My friend's baby girl has open heart surgery and she waits outside the recovery room, a baby boy takes his last breathe and my son struggles to live another day. Very hard to understand why bad things happen to good people and little children.  A 14 year old girl with a headache dies within three days of being diagnose with a rare form of cancer.  Her mother struggles to understand why her daughter had to be chosen to earn her wings.  So much potential, and such a beautiful young woman with the kindest heart.  Today I watched as my 5 year old daughter looks into a mirror and then ask if her doctor ...

Butterflies

Even old people get butterflies. As our newest little 9 year old points at the ceiling and out comes her first words in English to me. Butterflies Momma, Butterflies... In the dead of winter with temperatures of 20 below I stare at the ceiling.  Not thinking I look up. In the spilt second in time my mind wonders.  Even in an orphanage a child can have humor and imagination.  Maybe being caught off guard or in the moment it makes a person think. On the outside of this old worn out building a few dying bushes.  And from the street it looks like any other old building. The caregivers and other children inside are the only family they had for years. This is the only place our children knew as home. I love spring and soon butterflies will fill the air.  Maybe the Windows will open and a few of these fragile flying angels  will fly inside.  For many of these children seeing a butterflies will be only through a panel of glass. This year marks 2...
