Update from last weekend's trip...
There are certain things, that we have to be completely serious about. We have to look at the innermost parts of the heart and examine it.. Hopefully, in the middle of it all, we'll find love.
At Amadeo, this is true. We sandwich people with our love for them.
People's responses can be unpredictable. They might be gitty and accepting.
They might be serious and have to contemplate and process things first.
Or in the end, we may just help bring them complete joy.

This weekend was an amazing one. Patty and I got to pray for healing for Rosa Adriana's headaches. Both her and her twin sister had migraines this weekend. On Sunday, I got a note thanking us for helping her when she was sick and for Patty giving her the pills.
It was great to see how Bryant was being stretched by Alicia stalking him while Shannon was at the store. He handled it well despite her repetiveness and lack of caring of him telling her no. It was also amazing seeing Shannon looking at her standing in the doorway with endearing and loving eyes for this girl that already has made many enemies with the other kids.
My boy reminded me that I can not expect perfection from him. He is trying - he is doing better. He might not be perfect, but neither am I. I really need to learn how to reset my expectations without allowing him to live a life of sin or make excuses for it.

I do really care for that little girl. It brought me to tears to see her cry. We were sitting out on the bleachers by the baseball field and i had my sunglasses on and she saw the tears rolling down my face took my glasses off realized I was in tears for her and gave me the biggest hug I have ever been given. I just continued to cry ever more after that. She said something although I didn't understand it I still was touched. She also told me how she missed her mother very much, and wanted to go home soon, and that she didn't like it there at all and it was just SO sad.
I definitely am looking forward to the next trip. Alicia was a little overwhelming for me at first, but it will be good to see her again, and the other kids too.
Just reading that comment is sad...
