Ackeem

Ackeem is the newest addition to New Hope. He just arrived and is
a few days old. Please be praying that he will quickly get a family.

Spike

Not the Spike you were expecting?
This is Spike II. She just arrived Tues.
When I arrived back from furlough I was informed that Spike 
(the original) had gone onto that great dog park in the sky.
Now we have this new and much cuter one:)

1st week back!

They're Back!!!!!!!!
Well some of them are. I feel like they are coming
in really slowing this fall.


Please be praying for the kids here at the school 
as they continue to come in and transition back
to the school routine.

Thanks!

Calling All Prayer Warriors.

The day I flew out to the states I  got an email informing me
that the government was ready to move the older kids 
from New Hope to Children's homes more age appropriate.
We knew it was going to happen, just not when it would happen.
A few weeks later they were moved. 
Please be praying for:
 Alex
 Shannel
 Joy
 Omar
 Felicia
 Shakera
Hope

As they transition to their new homes. Thankfully so far Joy and Shannel
are together at a home for special needs kids here in MV and I am hopping 
to be able to visit regularly. The rest were moved to a home in St. Ann,
and thankfully they were all moved to the same home.
Please be praying for health and safety over these kids as they continue 
to grow. New Hope now seems so different without them.
Thanks

hello happy place!

Today was a good day.
  I got to run around and play with my babies,
 then rock them to sleep after lunch.

My heart is full!
Thank You Jesus.

Meet the Newbies:
 Orlando is a happy little guy. I am not sure when
he arrived. He was here when I got back.
Stephen is a very serious little guy. He just
arrived last night and could use prayers as he
transitions to the home.
It seems like most toddlers we get start out pinching
the babies as a way to cope with the transition. Stephan
is a pincher, and had 5 victims in my time there today:(.
Please be prayerful that this phase passes soon.

Thankful

I was thankful to get to meet up with these beautiful ladies this weekend.
It gave me the little bit of 'home' I needed to keep going.
