Finally a New Post

Well, my followers, I am finally posting an update. There has been so much happening...selling a house, moving to an apartment, going to ET, coming back from ET, getting settled into a new lifestyle, and not having internet service at my new apartment...so, therefore, no posts. Here are a few pics and videos for your enjoyment. Saraia Genet has had a lot of first...new foods, swimming, lots of toys, slipper slides, play time with cousins, and soon to go to daycare and children's church.

Meeting Saraia Genet for first time:


All families in ET picking up their children:

Outta Here

Before I forget and head out tomorrow morning at 8:30am, I wanted to make sure that everyone knows that I am finally headed to ET to bring Saraia Genet home. Here's the scripture over the last few days that gives perspective and brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it: "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you" (John 14:18). Jesus didn't leave us as orphans, and we have the wonderful privilege and opportunity to be like Jesus today and give love, hope, and a home to a child who has been "left to be found." Saraia Genet is "found." Three other families are traveling at the same time to pick up their children who have also been "found." What a great and joyous responsibility we have and are embarking on!!!
