Yeah, new stuff!
A big thank you goes to a donor who made it possible for us to get new mattresses for the kids and another donor gave toothbrushes (which we brought back with us from the States from our friendly dentist who happens to be a high school friend and took care of our...
Today
4:45 am - wake up (sort of) and get coffee going for our 5 am skype meeting with Saved By God's Grace board of directors in Phoenix (it was their 7 pm last night so they were drinking ice tea and having dessert I believe!) 7 am - finish skype meeting....absolutely no...
One step forward….
Come on, you know the rest....two steps back. I've learned over the past few years to celebrate the one step and learn from the two steps. I don't always celebrate or learn as fast as I should but eventually I have the party (in my head!) or see the way forward....

Merry Christmas!

Happy New Year!
Yes I know it's a few days after the 1st but honestly I forgot I had this post waiting to be posted :)..... I'm not much for this new year stuff, it's basically another day. However, with all the talk of resolutions, goals and what-not it does make me think of what...
