Happy Friday

Praise Jesus its Friday.

This week the kids learned about the different settings on my

camera and had fun playing with them.

 This picture makes me look like I have massive biceps. Ha!

 Afternoon ice cream cones.

Have a Wonderful Weekend!

Ready or Not....

Wednesday!

It has been to long since I have taken a camera

to New Hope so yesterday I did to capture life.

Love It!

 My babes  dressed like a fairy

 Princeton

 Jonathon almost ALWAYS has a blade of grass in

his hands. Why? no idea.

 Malcome,

Please be praying. recently he is becoming more and 

more defiante, prayers for wisdom as we work 

with him would be greatly appreciated.

 Hopey getting her legs worked with.

 Super Sam! 

Protector of all those in need.

 Ranique

 Judy-Ann

the newest addition to New Hope

Please pray for her family situation. Her

mom comes to see her all the time. Mentally

her mom is not able to care for her. She would

daily just walk up and down the road with Judy.

Thats why CDA stepped in to remove the baby

from  her care.

 Miss Trisha

 Miss Joy

 Look at that face!

It shows his personality perfectly.

PURE orneriness!

Sweet Channel

Yesterday I felt like I had finally found a little

balance. Today teams arrive. We will see

what kind of 'balance' we can find now!

A Little Joy

This is Joy,

She is one of the beautiful little girls at New Hope. This past week a

nurse was their volenteering. She professionally works with babies

just like Joy daily. While she was there she was able to do some

testing on Joy's legs. Her original thought was that all nerve sensation

was lost in her legs. That the communication between Joys head and

leg was not working. After working with Joy a little longer she was

encouraged by how Miss Joy did respond. There is still HOPE

that one day Joy could walk. Her legs will need to be worked with daily,

and surgery maybe needed, BUT there is HOPE! 

Please be praying that Joy can get the continual stimulation to her legs,

and the daily exercise needed so HOPEFULLY she will one day

be able to walk.

Thanks!

One Week Down.

Its only been a little over a week since I have been back

But it feels like its been months!

Tuesday the kids started coming back to school.

Its been hard to see, I am so thankful for the students 

that are here, but because of the finacial situation with the

ministry now, until the families pay the back fees they 

owe for their kids coming to school here or  they are

 willing to start a payment plan their kids can't come back to school.

Because of this now enforced rule there are what 

seems like very few students here.

Some students have even come back and because their parents couldn't

or weren't willing to pay (some have the mind set that because

 their kids have 'sponsors' they don't need to take the responsibility 

to pay some of their kids school fees), the students were sent back home.

After school time with the kiddos.

 Sheldon is back. He wasn't here at all last semester

but he was one of the first students here this new

semester.

When I am not at the school I am spending as much

time at New Hope as possible. God is continually

opening doors there and I am LOVING it.

I am also SO SO SO SO SO THANKFUL to be back where its warm,

and the 'typical' day looks just like this:)

 LOVE IT!

Thank You Jesus for a GREAT start to the New Year!

Last Day

The last few days I was in the states it was cold and snowy.

The last day I was there everyone came over to sled.

It was fun.

 Jax and Kensley loving it!

 Kensley and Mommy!

I love this picture:)

 Jaxon LOVED being outside and sledding

we took a short juice box break,  while we

waited for colt to show up. Then he was 

back out there til the end.

 A boy and his sled.

 So fun to watch these two together

 The big boys trying to snowboard/sled

 Colt and his dog puppets (gloves) hitting the sledding hills.

 Daddy jumping over/ out of the way as Jax came flying down the hill.

 Such a Goober!

Sister hanging out inside. 

She was done much sooner then the boys were.

Thank You Jesus for these memories made!
