Month: August 2009

Life-Giver…..

I was reading through some of my “drafts” that I wrote for the blog and realized I never posted this. I read back through it and thought this was still relevant today  – so why not post it! In Haiti there is a saying we often hear – […]

On Our Way Home…

WE ARE SO EXCITED….SO EXCITED……SO EXCITED….SO EXCITED – TO BE GOING HOME! We have started our drive down to Florida where we will then fly into Haiti! God has been so good to us. The babies just got cleared from the doctor. They got their shots and have […]
