Resident

Just wanted to let you all know that today it is official.....I am now a resident of Honduras! After waiting forever they finally have the paper work done.

As I sit here tonight, my heart is so heavy for our little Mario. Not too sure what he has been through or what he has seen, all I know is that his little heart is hurting. I am far from knowing what to do at times when he needs loved yet discplined. I just seek God and ask that He pours out abundance of wisdom on me. I plead for your prayers for Mario. It breaks my heart to see him act out the way that he does. You can see the hurt in his eyes. He is so angry one moment and the next he is hugging his little arms around my neck telling me he is sorry and how much he loves me. The hardest part it just getting through the subborn and angry moments. I have never been a momma before but I sure am trying. My attempt is far from perfect but I pray that that impact that I have on his life is a life long impression. I want him to see the love that I have for God and the relationship I have with him. I pray that he may grow to be a man of God. So I pray that he may feel loved like never before and protected like never before. I remind him daily of my love for him and the love that God has for him. May that reminder be planted deep within his heart.

Thank you for letting me share my heart tonight. It is just heavy, and I know I have an abudance of warriors our there to bring Mario before our great Big God!

Just continue to daily pray also that me and Jen are the people that we need to be to these boys.....JESUS!

the boys are missing their tio joe....they are looking after his truck for him

visit with their momma

I am back....finally! And boy is it ever so good to see the boys and love on them. Just having there sweet little arms around my neck, or to hear them say, "tia karen i love you." Although I think I forgot how much work it is to take care of them, but oh is it ever rewarding.
Yesterday the boys visited with their mom again. It is always so hard to walk away seeing there momma hurt and to know she can't be with them. Their older brother was there yesterday and it was really hard on him. He wanted to go with us when it was time to go. Then there mom was ready to go and would not go with her. Yovani yells out the window please go with her, she needs you. There is still hurt and confusion in the boys lives with all of this but they are working through it. But above all I want them to realize that they have a great big daddy that will never ever leave them even through all of this, with so many people in and out of their lives.
Please continue to pray many blessing upon these boys. That they may come to have such a love for God and be warriors for Him. And continue to pray that me and Jen have the wisdom, love, and patiences to take care of these boys, as some of you know it is hard to do some days.
Enjoy the pics.....here on the bridge is the boys with their older brother!
