Day by day by day by day by daaayyyy

This song popped into my head this afternoon and I was reminded of how God is teaching/growing/challenging us each day to follow/see/listen only to HIM.  We are so incredibly grateful for all the prayers and advice that has been shared as we adjust to our new life in Haiti ~ they are being felt and appreciated!!  Strides are being made with our 17 girls and it is not b/c of us, but what God is doing in-and-through us and them.  Each day is a fresh start to show them God's love (and loving discipline) ~ I'm just starting to understand when dear friends have shared that becoming parents is the toughest job you will ever love.  Some sweet moments include when they "get" their homework/studying, card games that don't appear to have rules but we were invited to be a part of it and there's lots of laughter/silliness, or you feel them watching you and you look their way to see a beautiful smile :)  We still have many hurdles yet to conquer, but for every tough day there are more-and-more great special moments too.
