Change...

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:)
