Our Daily Life

Silas using a box and two pencils to make a robot face.

 I wanted you to have an idea of what our day looks like.  I tried posting a video of Silas describing his "busy" day, but I could not figure out how to upload a video...   We have been trying to entertain ourselves without having the container, toys, or school curriculum.  In the video, Silas says he has to wake up, eat breakfast, learn about Jesus, memorize scripture, play outside, tell people about Jesus, play with Wood, catch flies, go back outside, and sit on the balcony.  =)  We are all in  a transition here in Haiti and still in the process of settling.  However, I know this is exactly where God wants me.  He shows me His love, grace, and mercy daily.  It has been so fun learning the language and culture and adapting to this new country- which I have fallen in love with. 

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.  For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.  So we fix our eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18    

This time of waiting and trusting while living in Haiti is achieving for us eternal glory!  It is so important to fix our eyes on what is unseen rather than what is seen.  My earthly self wants to focus on what is seen and the pity party I could be having right now, but eternity, life with our Father outweighs anything and everything here on Earth!  How awesome!!
