I always thought people who blogged must
have extremely fascinating lives. And I never thought of myself as
someone who had very much to say...if you
know me, you know I am not a big talker. So then I started to think about
what I have to offer to the blog world...I don't have any amazing/profound
advise, nor do I know any arts and craft secrets to share. And I don't have a
kid to blog about all the funny things they say and do. But then I
realized...I do probably have the best job in the world! I get to work with some
of the most amazing and beautiful children. The children here in Haiti
have a very captivating spirit, you can’t help but fall in love. (And
even while I am typing this...I have 3 very energetic and charismatic boys in
my apartment...Stevenson, Christopher, & Iverson. They are
entertaining my husband, Ruben, and Pearl...our 80lb labordoodle.)
Ruben and I recently moved back to Haiti to
continue to work at Mission of Hope. And one of my "jobs" (if
you can even call it a job) is to help with the children’s ministry here at the
Church of Hope. My other responsibility is to help coordinate the
marketing efforts. (Thank you mom and
dad for that marketing degree!) There is always so much happening around
here that we want everyone who is investing in Mission of Hope to know about
it.
So with that, I realized…I,
too, live a fascinating life. I live a
blessed life and I want to share it with you.
With this blog I plan to share my experience as a newly married girl
from Oklahoma living in Haiti…a land of starfish.
Peace, love and labordoodles.
