In a nutshell, I got to hold Isatu and I got to spend one on one time with the three we sponsor even though it was a pretty much 0% chance that would happen in an orphanage with 79 kids. It was not something I tried to do nor planned out in any way but to the contrary had decided was not an option. Isatu is way to active to let anyone hold her but she spent quite a bit of time doing whatever she could to get me to hold her and was clinging to me when I had to leave to go to lunch. I couldn't have asked for a better day.
Wow! What an incredible blessing. I know your heart must have been beating out of your chest. Both of you look so happy in the pics.
ReplyDeleteWell clearly, even though you didn't have it 'planned' out, Someone Else did have this special time with Isatu planned just for you! Isn't He good to us? Did it solidify to you that these were just exactly the right children you are to sponsor?
ReplyDeleteI'm reading this with tears because I know how happy you are to finally hold the kids. I wish I was there with you. I love you. Mom
