Update on life...

- I'm now enrolled in cosmetology school! I start April 13th at Vogue. I think this will be a good step for me. It only takes 10 months and I will have a way to support myself before going back to Kenya when I'm done. It's something I love doing and I'm just going to look at it as another mission field. God can use me wherever I am :) So excited for this new season in my life.
- Mom is home from Chicago. She got home last Saturday. She seems to be doing a little better. Adjusting at home always takes time. I think she was gone for almost 3 weeks this time, so we all have to readjust and get back in the groove. Pray that God will heal her. We will give him ALL the glory! I don't think she will be like this for the rest of her life. So we're just praying that God would do a miracle. Check out some of my pictures from chicago here.
- Zach is practicing like crazy for the high school play this month. He's so good at that stuff :) They're doing West Side Story this year, and I'm told it's going to be really good. Come see the play on the 27th! :)
- The house is a lot more quiet w/star gone. it's weird. That's all I have to say about that haha.
- I miss my kiddos at the baby center so much! All but four of the bigs kids from when I was there have families! How exciting. Praise God. Sarah and Mesh just recently went to families and now have a mommy and daddy that love them like crazy! I am so happy for them. Pray for Andrew, Esther, Malachi, and Joshua...that God would provide families for them. Andrew has a special place in my heart...we had a special connection when I was there. He's such a sweetheart. He's very shy and goofy. Esther has a very cool story. She was dropped of when one of our church teams were there and the caregivers asked them to name her. She is a very sweet and quiet toddler. You can usually find her with two of her fingers stuck in her mouth. haha. Malachi is such a character. He's hilarious, but always has a little grin on his face like he's up to something. My team nicknamed him "Old man malachi" because he has the face of an wise man. haha. Joshua has such an amazing smile. He's so sweet and is always smiling. It just lit up my day when I saw him. I could talk about these kids forever. I love them all and would give anything for them. They are all incredible! I know God has big plans in store for these children's lives. It was no mistake that he brought them to the baby center. And in the process of them finding families we got to love on them a little :)
