Back to Haiti

I'm going back to Haiti.


This time I'm scared beyond words. C's mother has asked to meet me. Praying for strength and wisdom in my travels. Praying for the right words to speak to let her know how much I love this little girl and that I will do anything for her (and for S).  I know this woman chose adoption for her daughter because she loves her deeply and wants more for C than she can provide. Praying this meeting will help ease the pain her heart must feel as the adoption is closer to being finalized.

Also praying: that my heart can make it as doubts and anxieties creep in. 
that I will not be called back to see the judge after this visit. That I will find the resources to make this trip in the near future.
Philippians 4:6-7   6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

  2. Have you made a little book of pictures for her? That might be a nice gesture. I know we're not allowed to give them anything else no matter how needy they are.

  3. I agree with both Terry and Kathy...I will be keeping you in frequent prayer. God will give you the words.
