Hey y'all!
Well, this week is winding down in quite an exhausted fashion, though there were some good adventures. This week, for some reason was not the greatest for a couple of our kids. Lots of somewhat sleepless nights, meltdowns, colds, and tantrums.
Ten minutes before I sat down to write this Zane was screaming at his loving parents his refusal to take a nap, yet we all know that once he has slept he will be back to the loving, joyful, hilarious boy God has made him to be.
Today I as I carried my little charge up to the hotel for lunch he gave me the snottiest kiss on the cheek. I love his adorable, innocent affection. That is a gift I hope and pray my own children possess in their lives one day. It is that affection and joy and innocence that reminds me every day how valuable children are, even when their noses run and they wipe it all over their faces and mine. Children are such beautiful treasures!
One of the lovely adventures of this week was being stranded in the parking lot at Walmart in Chico for an hour because our lovely car would not start. During this time of awaiting rescue, my companions came to the conclusion that racing around in and on a shopping cart would be a rewarding endevour. Unfortunately, I could not stop myself from joining in the 'fun', and was rewarded by the entire party flipping on top of me. I write this with many bruises and a few scrapes.
On another note, I had the privilege of finally speaking to my mom and my sister over the phone at the beginning of this week. To hear their voices after about 3 weeks was so refreshing, yet reminded me of how far away they are and I confess that I really do miss home.
Yet despite that I know God is doing good things, both in my heart and the hearts of those around me. Thank you all so much for praying for me, you don't know what it means to know I am being thought of and lifted up in prayer. Remember that I am praying for you in return!
Adios mi familia!!!
