Hello Change, old friend
I know that nothing in life is permanent. . . but it feels like here that reality is accentuated! I start to make a friend and then they move, I start to make another friend and then they move. I offer my services as a doula and then a woman who sounded sure she could use the help never calls. It can be really difficult at times to be so unsure of things that seem like you could be sure of.
I am very thankful to Jesus that HE is constant! In the midst of so much instability, poverty, corruption, injustice and hopelessness it is only Jesus that I can cling to to know that there is hope for the next breath! Thanks God.
News on the home front; Keira started Nursery school this week and absolutely loves it! (She is just going on Monday and Thursday when I have clinic.) She came home with a noodle bangle that she made and singing the days of the week. I was the only one who cried in the whole ordeal! Its funny that all of a sudden someone else is influencing my child! I know its good but it is strange, but Keira loves playing with the kids and I know she feels safe there because her first day she went and sat down on the carpet and said "Jesus loves me"
Apparently the church where the school is, had prayed in each of the school rooms the night before asking that each child and parent would know the love of Jesus when they walked in, well Jesus heard!!

Chrissy??? I am sort of not-hip to the whole time difference thing, so either you just posted this (2:46 am my time or your time? I don't know) or else it was a whole day ago. Either way, I just happen to be up (really late night at work - 2:48 am) and you probably are up too!
I miss you! I can't imagine how hard things are with what you describe (everyone moving, non-committal etc). I love that story of "Jesus loves me." So sweet. Tyler is chatting now (Tyler, do you want some lunch, "Yah Mama!" Melt my little heart :)). Well, I best get to bed. Please know that I am thinking of you. You could be my doula anyday!!! :)
Chrissie and Trevor:
