Separated In God's Hands

     Well,  February 23 2015 Logan and I boarded an airplane.  It was our friend Ken, who said he had 2 seats available.  We weren't expecting it so soon, but we were planning to leave somewhere in April.  It was hard leaving mom and dad+ all the new and old members of the family.  We don't know how long we will be staying in America this time, but  think it is for a time.

     Our airline ride was long and we had to fly 3 extra hours.  I met new friends on the airplane (adults), and played many card games and hand games.  Some of the people I knew on the plane were   Brandon, Mark, Sue and Chris.  The first 3 I played most with, for how the seats were arranged.  

We hit some turbulence on our last bit of flying.  When we landed the door opened and it was freezing!  I felt like I was in a deep freezer!  Then I saw something it was my Grandma and Grandpa!  I hopped of the plane (leaving my bags) and hugged them inside.  I had been looking forward to that moment for weeks.  

     When we were leaving the airport, Gma and Papa said that they were there at 3:00!  We landed at 5:00, so they were there 2 extra hours.  They said they were told 3, but since we hit turbulence it was longer.  

Then we went to a restaurant call 316.  We had lots of fun, and I had a root beer float!  

     When we arrived home, the next day we saw the whole family that lived in Brandon.  It was fun seeing everyone, and I can't wait to do it all again some other day!

     I must admit I was hoping for more snow and not so much cold, but I still enjoy the little snow that gets licked into my mouth.  

     I do miss my parents a lot because we don't know when they will be coming back.  It could be weeks, it could be months.  It is in God's hands though, and I don't think he will keep us separated for long.  

     I can't wait to see them again, but I'm glad that i'm with family.  I thank God that Logan and I have  such caring parents to let us go ahead, and such caring Grandparents that let us stay with them.  So much to be thankful for.

Blessings To His Creation

  My family is truly being blessed.  Two Saturday's ago we had 3 kittens from our new mama Sugar!  They are adorable!  One is black, another is white with brown spots, and one has the tiger stripes that are brown and gray.  All their eyes are open, still not very good walkers yet, but very good at meowing for their mama when we come to pet them.  My dad has pictures of them on Facebook or the blog.  What a blessing!  I love babies!

     And today we are blessed with 5 puppies from our mama dog Bee!  They make the cutest noises as close as a whine as they possibly can.  I think they all have spots but I can't see them very well with the mama at their side.  I love them all so much!  

  Bee has been digging holes around the yard for the pups for a month, last night she dug her last hole in the no longer chicken coop.  She had them about 11:00 am.  Before she had them Logan put ripped clothes on the hole to have it be comfortable.  She moved them out of the way right before she had the 5.  Now we have 8 babies!  I am so happy that God gave us these babies!  This is a memory I will have forever!  God is an awesome God!  He also lives babies and new sprouts.  It reminds me that God gave us life.

Courage

     Few of you may know that my friends and I started a club when I was last in America.  We called ourselves the G4C girls, which means Girls For Christ.  We started out by finding a place to meet, after a week of searching Brandon the only place that was close, welcoming, loving, and caring was my Nana's shed.  In about three days we were cleaning out the packed shed, killing spiders, and being thankful for the huge gift by my generous Nana.  Also with being in the backyard we were opened to a nice little waterfall and a big yard to play in.  Sadly one of my friends was not there for the first Club day.  

     As we were making the shed beautiful we realized we have no money to make it Awesome!

After that came the idea of a car wash. Looking for a place for cars to park and a hose was difficult.  We talked to our parents about doing one but didn't tell them we were going to do it soon.  We walked  into Ace Hardware, a little frighten, and asked "May we please do a car wash here for our G4C club?"  Then my friends filled in the rest of the info.  After the employee talked to the manager on a walky talky they said yes! (Which was very nice of them)  We told our parents this and they we so surprised.   We did the car wash the very next day.  Our parents didn't know we just walked in and asked.  So that went well but once again my other friend was not there.  

     With the money from the car wash, we bought paint from Ace Hardware and painted this time, with all five of us!  It was awesome!  Then we forgot why we were doing this and just made the shed a playhouse.  Then with just two weeks before I left for Haiti we started making it a devotion time.  

  God gave us courage to go into Ace Hardware, later he will give us courage to talk to people about Jesus.  Do you need courage?  Ask for it from Jesus.

Before I close this up I have been feeling I am suppose to write this to someone. Would you rip the grass and brush away the dirt from the cross?

   God blessed my friends and I, He can bless you too :)

What do you believe?

     Ever listened up to Casting Crowns's Spirit Wind?  Well I have many times but never really listened to what they were saying.  In Ezekiel 35 it talks exactly about the dry bones and how Ezekiel spoke to the valley of dry bones.  It is truly amazing if you take the words in deep meaning.  

     People may say that all these miracles and prophesies were only for the Bible times.  They actually are still happening in this century.  Just we don't realize.  As Christians we should be sharing this Christmas with the neighbors and the poor.  This year my family is sharing Christmas with the kids in our village.  Maybe YOU should do a city or neighbor event.  People have turned Christmas into a family holiday, when it is for sharing, loving, smiling, and just being Christians.  It makes me upset when people write Xmas,  anyone ever have a thought of what that means?  Christ is in Christmas, and people who are mad at Jesus say that.  Correct them if you hear that.  What I am trying to get at is share Christmas with others who can't, and share God with the ignorant.  

Christmas is Jesus's birth, not santa's gift night.  We should be thankful that Christmas means our Messiah's birth.

 

Surprise For The Kids

     You will never believe what happened on Tuesday!  Alright so it was dark out and my dad left to get bibles. I wanted him to be esteemed when he got back so I laid out a towel on his bed, got a lemon drink, and then I waited and waited to open the gate right when I saw his lights.  Then there came the LIGHT!  I ran to open the gate but depressingly if was locked ( which I asked Logan if it was locked and he said no).  So I went up to his window and saw someone in the front seat laying way back.  I thought it was Wilber but he had a white hand.  So I walked away to let the car go through the gate and told Logan "Someone is in the car!" :/   I thought it was James Courter for some reason and to my astonishment it was my cousin Nic!!  I hugged him so hard.  Then after a couple minutes I thought "mom and dad knew but didn't tell me!".  Then he sat down and started taking things out of his bag.  Logan said it's Saint Nicolaus!  Now it has been a couple fast days.  I asked if he was staying until Christmas, but nope:(. But I can't complain he came and he has his own family.  I thank Jesus for having such a generous family that would  come all the way to Haiti!

Life is a climb!

     Yesterday I was out with my friends and was going to play.  I decided I wanted to climb the Breadfruit tree, because Logan and Obeline have already done so.  Oberline showed me how and so I made the attempt without mom, dad, or Logan.  Once I was up I felt like I had accomplished something grand.  Then the terrible thought slipped into my mind about how to get down.  I didn't tell anyone that I couldn't get down.  Thankfully Oberline said she wanted to get mom to see what I did!  When they came out she was surprised and frightened.  Then Logan came out and came up.  I couldn't get down and I was a little bit paralyzed.  Many people came around and kept saying I was stuck.  I got down on my belly to slide off but sadly no one was under me so there I hung for about a minute.  It was getting really hard to breathe until a guy put me on his shoulders and got me down.  I said thank you and went straight inside.  I still couldn't breathe very well and I thought no one was in the house so I started crying.  My dad was In his room and and brought me in.  He thought Logan did something and shut the door on him. I told him I was fine just still stunned.  We talked it over and I went back outside a little bit later to play.  Then this morning I went back out and climbed the tree again.  I succeeded, so woo hoo!  

Thank Jesus that I can climb and not be afraid 

The Little Things Of This World

     Today I was trying to help my dad in any possible way.  He has a tendon thingy with his shoulder and can't do very much.  Please pray for him.  

     Anyways Logan, Oberline, and my mom were gone for the next 2 hours.  I was helping my dad out by lowering cords of the roof for the Internet.  It has been a terrible signal, I told my daddy that there was a little ledge under house that I could maybe crawl onto. He imediatly said NO because that would mean climbing off the roof!  So we got a ladder and everything was going good with the project until my dad said he can't get it up high enough.  I volunteered (being the only other person there and also quite curious) to go up on the ledge, climb the ladder with one hand, hold the Natcom thing with some other cords, and put it on the ledge. I made it secure and climbed down waiting for my dad to get a signal. Waiting with all the hope and pride by helping my dad.  He came out and the signal was terrible :(  Then Wilber appeared and was giving him advise so I went back to reading Alice In Wonderland.  All was getting well with the Internet. 

     Then tonight I lay on a bed looking at creative ideas on Pinterest  and the Internet goes |

                                                                                                                                           V

So bye bye Pinterest.  All though I think I stored all of that knowledge in my brain.  But thanks be to Jesus that we even have Internet and that I can blog.  Think about when we get to Heaven the new "Internet" God has.  That's going to be awesome!
