Haiti

Good morning bloggers! I know... I have majorly dropped the ball on blogging. It's pretty terrible. I'm still not going to do much to rectify the situation. But here are some of my my thoughts for the day.

Our Compassion child is Sterline Zephir. She lives in Haiti. She has some crazy pigtails. :-) As you know, Haiti suffered serious damage from the recent earthquake. We have not heard yet how Sterline was affected by the earthquake... we are told by Compassion that they are working on getting in touch with their partners in Haiti and will let us know as soon as they hear something regarding our child. We covet your prayers for Sterline and her family.

Here's some information about her:

Family Duties

Washing clothes

Cleaning

Carries water

Buying/Selling in the marketplace

Kitchen help

Hobbies and Sports

Dolls

Group games

Hide-and-Seek

Art/Drawing

She also loves to draw us pictures. I should share some of them with you all sometime.

But for now, we rest in this:

The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD
for the display of his splendor.
Isaiah 61:1-3
