Sunday night we celebrated Rosie’s 13th birthday and Isabelle’s 5th birthday! This year’s theme was Disco Divas! We had glow in the dark bracelets, hair clips, rings, & necklaces. We also had 5 different disco lights that swirled rainbows of color on the walls and ceiling.
I learned a long time ago – Christmas isn’t necessarily about WHERE you go – nor is it necessarily about WHAT you do. At least for me – MY best memories on Christmas Day are all about who I was surrounded by.
But might I suggest that either way – people are watching – taking their cues from you – maybe even waiting for you….. and none of us want to be a stumbling block – or a JOY BLOCKER – for others who are desperately searching for their JOY too.
Hurricane Matthew and subsequent flooding nearly destroyed our community – but it also brought all of us together. I wouldn’t have thought about pouring into these kids had I not watched their nightmare unfold before me. Beauty from ashes….
It was our staff and their children who were shaken awake with rivers running through their homes. It was the young girls and their mothers who were carried to safety.
So Malaya and Mikela wanted to do something special for their friends
I’m SO thankful for this wonderful family I’m surrounded by this Thanksgiving! God has blessed me beyond measure when it comes to the people perfectly placed around me!
Of course Jose made most of the dishes
It might seem a little silly to decorate for Christmas with all the drama happening outside our home…. but my kids need something else to think about besides the mud and the rain.
I put black-light bulbs in the hallway – that’s the picture you see that’s really dark. Then I hid glow in the dark skeleton bones all over the house.
We are getting ready to be hit by another big rain storm. Several of the townspeople have gone to the mountains. The orphans are starting off in the cafeteria tonight. We’re showing movies to take their mind off the storm.
PLEASE pray again for us tonight. SO many people in town & on campus spent all day getting rid of mud & water… and now we might get hit with it all over again tonight. It won’t take much to flood again as the ground is saturated already.
I realize that many of you are not on Facebook and several have been emailing and asking for information! Below are the latest updates since the storm started…..
To find out what our plan is and how you can help – please check out our ministry blog tomorrow – molehaiti.org . I have been trying to post it ALL day but still waiting for some pictures to upload.
