Sippy Cups!

The toddlers have sippy cups.  They absolutely love them!  Thank you so much to those of you who send supplies to Feeding the Orphans.  It may not seem like much but sippy cups are a huge deal for us.  THANK YOU!

Blowing Kisses


Who knew blowing kisses could be such fun.  And you should see them trying to cross their eyes.  We tried looking at the tip of your finger and moving it towards your eyes but nothing worked.  They ask me to cross my eyes every day and every day they laugh like they were seeing it for the first time.

PRAYER WARRIORS

Today I found myself a little drained mentally, physically and spiritually.  I retired to my room to talk with God and  found myself carried away in prayer and worship.  I realized at some point that there were other  prayers being prayed and as I looked I saw Sandra and Grace sitting on the bed next to me pouring out their hearts with Grandma.  They were concerned that Grandma was crying.  I told them that the tears were  coming because I could feel God's presence and I was so grateful for it.  I also told them they are my little prayer warriors.

Today was pretty good all around.  First time I ventured out with a couple of the younger girls.  On the way home my taxi driver started yelling at a group of boys, ended up getting out of the cab and as they were yelling and starting to push a little I started yelling the name of Jesus.  One of the boys began to try and stop them from pushing and convinced our driver to get back in the cab.  Thank you Jesus.  I also told the driver I would not pay him 5 Ghana CDs that I would only pay three (knowing I had been paying four) and he said he would take 4.  I told him that was ok.    I have to admit, I patted myself on the back for negotiating.

Psalm 23:3
he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
