Not a lot of news on this end. Just praising God that the storm didn't hit us as a hurricane and we only got some minor showers out of it. It sure looked like we were going to get tromped with it, though. And the weather services kept warning us, too, along with the US Embassy. I guess God knew this area of the country could not survive being hit with a hurricane. Over the years, we have come close, but have not had a direct hit. God is good. I think a lot of that has to do with the way the people here pray. When something like that is on the way, the churches open their doors and you can come and pray 24 hours a day. One storm a long while ago, came across the northern coast of the island. It was huge. The people filled the churches and prayed together for it to turn. And, it DID. It hit the Haitian border and made a ninety degree turn to the north and we had only some mild wind and some rain from it. Weathermen and the US military could not believe it did that. But we serve an awesome God and HE can do ANYTHING He chooses.
We are anxiously waiting word on the container that was supposed to dock this last week. At this point, no word at all. Our broker is keeping a close eye on things for us. We've done the preliminary work and gotten the papers we need. So, it's another anxious time, waiting on the container. Keep that in prayer. Not only that it arrives soon, but that the cost will be more reasonable. Well, more reasonable for Haiti, anyway.
I took some photos of Abbie yesterday in her Sunday best. One of them is my favorite. Of course I redid some of it, but not Abbie herself. She is a joy. Yesterday we watched, via Internet some clips from past Olympics. So, now she is out there, doing her bends, flips and all sorts of things I'm sure are NOT in the Olympics. She is a hoot to watch.
Think I'd better cut this off and do some work here. It never seems to actually be finished. Always something else comes up. Until next time, keep smiling and give God the Glory for all things.
