The only thing we know we can
expect here is change. We get a call
and new littles come, we get another
call and they go. We don't get a say.
We just get to love them and care
for them the best we can while they
are here with us at En Gedi.
This week we got the call that my 'gut' had been
telling me was coming for a week now. He had
been gone for almost 2 weeks, and the medical
appointments in Kingston continued to get added.
For his consistency, and so he would be closer to
the children't hospital, Big J was moved to
a home in Kingston.
Please be prayerful for him that he
can thrive there. That all the great strides
he made here with us, continue and that
he doesn't just get lost in the mix there.
A few days later we got another call.
There was a 2 year old waiting in a hospital
would we be willing to take her in.
We do our best to stick to babies 0-2,
but in times like these we are willing
to step up as God calls and take them in
to get them out of the hospital, and love
them until long term placement can be
found for them.
So Thursday we welcomed another 2 year old (almost 3)
Miss J. She is a big lady, so smart, and the opposite
of our quiet and calm, Big J that just left us.
Prayers for Miss J and her time with us. She comes with
a lot. A lot of experiences a 2 year old should never have.
And She is our first placement that has come directly
after being removed from her family. So this is her first
"children's home" experience.
So thankful for Neiah at these times. She can step in
and love and play with them in a way that already
Miss J looks for. With the other littles my focus can't
be solely on her, so she sticks close to Neiah her
favorite playmate:)
