Blessed

I know it has been too long since I last made a post. I arrived home a week and 4 days ago and have enjoyed every minute here in the states with my family and friends. I have also greatly missed the kids every minute :) 
My first 6 months in Haiti have already come and gone! Of course I have many stories and experiences I could share with you. I could share about how I've had to learn how to be a nurse and care for cuts, fevers, abscesses, rashes from fungus and parasites. I could share about the silly games the kids make up and play. I could share about laying under the stars with the older kids talking and laughing for hours. I could share about the work that's being done on the compound. I could share about dancing, singing and memorizing scripture with the kids every Wednesday afternoon. There is so much that has happened in 6 months sometimes I don't even know how to process it all. I can tell you that I still am daily humbled and blessed by the fact that the Lord has chosen me to be surrounded by these beautiful amazing orphaned or abandoned children, to love on, hold, pray for, protect, play with, care for, and kiss goodnight everyday. I can also tell you that I am so blessed to be able to learn from and work under Nicole, a true woman of faith. Of course I can think of some hardships, struggles and frustrations from the past 6 months but right now what rings loudest are all the many blessings! Merci Jezi!
