So today was a fun day, I got to pretend to play 'adoptive mama' several times. I got to talk to Steven and Belle over Skype today, or we kind of did. They where being shy this morning and i was barely ready for my last day of school when we connected. But just seeing and talking to them again for a little bit was great! I can't say i completely understand the rush of Skype like all of you adoptive parents but i caught a glims, and loved it!Also, Mom got home from Haiti an hour ago and delivered a picture that my baby boy, Reece made for me. How thoughtful! Oh, i love it and treasure it so much! I feel... so, loved by those kids! To think that Reece thought of giving that picture to ME instead out of anyone else. Yeah, okay that sounds a bit self-centered, but put yourself in that position.... Oh, i miss them, i love them. BUT, Reece's picture sends me a hopeful message that has to be God-given:
... Psalm 18:28 - You, O LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.
... 2 Samuel 22:29 - You are my lamp, O LORD; the LORD turns my darkness into light.
..."It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light."
... Job 29:3 - when his lamp shone upon my head and by his light I walked through darkness!

He did an awesome job on your picture Lizzie. Thanks for the scripture verses!
That's funny. I'm glad they played shy with you too or I might have been a little jealous. I don't understand why they do that. They are so not like that in person. :)
That's a beautiful picture from Reece. He is such a sweetie and great with the crayons too.
that's cool that you got to talk to Steven and Belle over Skype!
oh, Reece!! i love that kid!
Are you on your way back to Haiti soon?
