Crazy Little Thing Called Life!

This past week has been crazy! It went by so fast. I finally feel like I’m in my place here. I’ve finally been given permission to put pictures on facebook so I have created a group. If you would like to see the facebook pictures please let me know and I will give you access. This week I’ve been focusing more on journaling and quiet time than on my blog. That is why I haven’t posted many blogs,  lol! The Lord has been speaking to me through His word. I had been struggling with being broken hearted for these kids. This past week the Lord has shown me that these kids are His and their future and what happens to them is not something I should be worried about.   Luke 20:25 says “And he said to them, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s.” These kids are not mine. They are the Lord’s; they are not mine to worry about because they are in the Lord’s hands.  

Craziness this week = 1) another tia found a bat in our laundry, 2) one of the boys peed on my hand while I was giving him a bath, 3) we had a bat come in the house one night, 4) I found a frog the size of a small dog in our laundry area 5) We watched Rolie Polie Olie! In Spanish!! 6) I heard the twins praying outside “Gracias a Dios…” so cute!

On Sunday, I cooked all meals and prepared the snack ! It was a success.  We had eggs and toast for breakfast and for lunch we had pasta with chicken, onions, tomatoes, cucumber with rice and topped with Italian dressing. For dinner we had beans and French toast. Yum!! All but one of my kids loved the food. I think 9/10 is pretty good. And Ma loved lunch. (Lunch is the biggest meal of the day.)

I’m learning that Prayer truly is the greatest gift I can give these kids J.  Some of these kids have had a rough past, but this place, is a place of peace and rest, place of Joy and hope. This is a place of smiles, giggles and is full of hugs and kisses J I can’t wait to come back!
