With a beautiful sunrise this morning, the team is ready to jump in for their second full day with the kids. I love watching the response of the Americans as they fall in love with the beautiful Haitian kids and people. These orphans hunger for touch in ways that we don't see at home. We love our children dearly and we discover a new appreciation for our own children when we spend time with the "least of these" and these kids who don't have their own mothers and fathers. For just the short time that we are here- we become the mothers and fathers, big brothers and sisters to the kids that the Global Orphan Project provide long term care for.
Five trips later and I have the exact same feelings as I did the first time. When kids call out your name and run to you to be held, its a feeling that defies description- your heart breaks, melts, jumps, hurts, rejoices and discovers a deep, deep love.
Our discussions at the close of each day have been wonderful. I challenged the team to be fully present and in each moment while they are here. Leave nothing in the tank as I like to say- and they have responded like troopers! Everyone is healthy and doing well. Thanks for your prayers.
GO team we are so proud of you and excited to hear all about what the Father reveals to you during this time! You all are in our thoughts and prayers... esp Ben and Brittany Carter. Ben and Britt, we love you and are thinking of you constantly! Love on some precious children for us=) Chris, we are esp lifting you up as you lead. Thank you for your heart and passion! Brad, Tiffany, Joshua, Emma and Samuel
