God's Goodness.

Yesterday I was at one of those points. I didn't know
what to do, should I call CDA again? Go in and talk
to the head of the office about En Gedi again? Be still
and do nothing? Trust God to work as only He can?
I feel like its such a fine line down here of hurry up 
and wait...., but also, I know that the squeaky wheel
gets the attention so if I am not 'making enough noise' 
I will be forgotten. Its so hard to know when to push, 
and when to simply be still.
For a few days I had been going back and forth debating
if I should try contacting CDA again, and if so what I would
say or do.
Then God moved, as only He can. So perfectly, and
again I just stand in awe of Him and His goodness
to me. Yesterday morning I got a call from one of my
contacts at CDA checking in (that is something that almost
never happens) to see if anyone has come to do the home
visit for En Gedi yet (they haven't), and when I told her no,
she then asked me to write out a letter, she told me specifically
what to put in the letter, and also who to write the letter to 
(giving me another contact at CDA).
So, in a matter of a few minutes I went from feeling convicted
to do something, but having no idea what.... to, having 
specific instructions on what to do, and who to send it to.
What a GOOD GOOD FATHER we serve! 
The letter was written, and emailed out today.
Another door was open, another step was taken, and now
again we wait to see how God moves.

To God be the Glory!

Meet Brita

One of the things I was excited about when we moved was
being able to get a dog. Down here in Jamaica dogs 
are not pets. Dogs are something to be feared, and Neiah
has always had a serious fear of dogs. She wanted to like
them, tried to like them, but would get so overwhelmed that
each experience she had with dogs ended badly for her.
I didn't want her to grow up with a fear of dogs, and so I have
been looking for puppy for En Gedi. And this month we 
were able to bring home a German Shepard. 
 I am so thankful to say that Neiah has done GREAT with
Brita (her name means strength in German... or at least thats 
what the internet said:). I was hoping that if we got a new puppy
then she could be able to get used to the dog and as it grew and 
still be okay with it.
 Its been a few weeks now and almost all of her free time is still
spent outside playing with Brita and 'training' her.
So thankful for this opportunity to add a new member to En Gedi.
