Today was our day nurse's last day. She was with us since day 1 and worked well with Selah. We will miss her. She is taking a position in a facility closer to her home with benefits. We will have a new nurse next week. Change is always hard, especially when it comes to someone taking care of your child.
I feel like I got a "Mother's Day Out" with one of my Bffs. Kandi has 5 kids like me...so between the two of us we have TEN kids...days out are rare! We usually can walk together every morning early but that's about it....but today we ate breakfast and hung out till early afternoon! Woohoo! I feel like I won the lottery:)
Speaking of the lottery.....NO ONE has claimed it yet! I went into "my' Publix and asked as I was checking out..... The cashier said no one has claimed it and the news media are starting to call it "the lost ticket"! Can you imagine....$590 million dollars LOST...... That hurts to think of.... I remember a story when the lottery first started.... a Baptist pastor's wife "found" a winning lottery ticket in their church's parking lot.... That story cracked me up! But hey I'm out there every morning looking now! LOL That will be my story too. Hey if God can do it for a Baptist, He can do it for me:) (Love all you Baptists out there!)
Well I want to share with you a great ministry YOU can get involved in...... When we were at the girls' institution we saw three children that just grabbed at our hearts.
this is one of the little ones that we were drawn to, our plan was to go back and get the three of them...then the accident changed everything. Thankfully another family came for him!!! He is thriving with them AND he is going to become a MK missionary's kid! Can you believe that?????
The above blog address is the Twietmeyer's family post. They have 15 kids! YES 15 and one of them is that sweet little boy who is no longer a sad orphan but a loved and wanted son!!!!! The Twietmeyer's have a ministry called Project Hopeful that works around the world with orphans and also with children and adults affected by HIV. Now they are taking a step of faith to move to Guatemala to run a ministry to orphans. God Bless them! I encourage you to follow their blog, GIVE and PRAY for them!!!! They are open to do whatever God leads them to do... I love their hearts!
I believe in sharing about ministries that are out there DOING something! Life is too short to waste it and I hate to say but I see many ministries that are a WASTE....I will never share a ministry like that on my blog! So if you are looking to support someone who has a major proven track record....this is one who does!!! They live it out daily in their home. So go read their blog...hear their heart....
I've been blessed, since God opened our eyes to the whole adoption world, of getting to know people from different Christian faith backgrounds that are just doing the work of the ministry, real life, get down and dirty in the trenches type of ministry! I LOVE it! Sometimes I think how it is going to be in heaven when rewards are given out....I think I know some folks who will be having to have help to carry their crowns for all the stars in them....but then they will lay them at Jesus' feet anyhow..... I've met so many self sacrificing people....they encourage me to abandon myself to God and to remember we have ONLY one life to live for our Savior!
I always say I can rest in heaven....until that day, there is so much work to be done! Due to our family's circumstances, we may not be able to do some of the things we had hoped to do but we will remain faithful were we are and we will be a part of others' ministries!!!! You may not be able to go and do things but you can still be a part!
And I know you are a part of praying for our Selah....thank you!!!!!!
Asking for your prayers for this little Selah as well...also with a head injury. Thinking you may be a real blessing to this family.
