After seeing the difference your prayers make in these children's lives, how could I not share. I KNOW your hearts, I have heard them, seen them and been blessed by them and don't think for one second that because you aren't here day in and day out that you aren't involved in effective ministry with these specific children. Our calendar booked until July already this year with mission teams would say differently and the prayer support that rallies within an hour of me sending an e-mail prayer request out as e-mails come flooding back in and the phone starts ringing just from people saying that they are praying... is testimony of your hearts on fire to make a difference!! Thank you for being in the battle, I feel privileged to walk with you!! </div><div>This past week I had Madi home with a baby sitter taking a nap and Hannah and I had run to spend some time with the kids at Hermano Pedro.....hitting the malnourished ward first, no sooner had we walked through the door than Hannah had her hands full with one of our cleft palate babies...little Jose hadn't had surgery yet so his little mouth ( lip) looked ( and is) split wide open but was happy as a clam and had a smile that would kill anyone...I grinned at the two of them and started over to see Alex, but was stopped by this little screeching cry coming from the bed next to his. Glancing at the name tag on her metal bed, I read "Nidia" and my heart stopped when I looked inside the metal slats to see a little girl, maybe 3 or 4 years old so malnourished her little wrist were the size of my first finger. She couldn't have weighed more than nine pounds, it just wasn't possible... her hair had fallen out in clumps because of the starvation and she lay there weakly screeching, eyes wildly roving the ceiling...the last thing she wanted to do when I pulled the metal bars down on her bed was to make eye contact, she purposefully looked everywhere but my eyes. I picked up her little body, knowing that even was hurting her and lay her on my shoulder and the screeching stopped and literally she melted into my arms and pressed her little head against my chest, right where my heart was. I whispered in her ear that today she had a new name, she was no longer cast aside or forgotten...today she was known and treasured. "Your name is Cherish" I whispered to her, at the time not even knowing what was compelling me to give her another name, but wanting the enemy to know, he had forever lost his grasp on this one. </div><div><br /></div><div>"And you will be called by a new name </div><div>Which the mouth of the LORD will designate.</div><div>You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD</div><div>And a royal diadem in the hand of your God.<br />It will no longer be said to you, "Forsaken,"<br />But you will be called, "My delight is in her,"<br />For the LORD delights in you" Is 62 </div><div> </div><div> </div><div></div></div><div></div><div><div>(Our own Amanda Hope, adopted from Guatemala... picture taken the day we heard about her)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3dW0yzxQDBGFt8kkBQBxYcMpZZ4OijO3H9MSvSksJ7HFLMbbnSPdaX24GmTDHT8Q9c1Czp7A767ZP_52Pm_Q2uE530iZzBsmlai8ZBNdnDmJJhMMyyqQ35i5fUHzz_ndzjHsJkH8jxoc/s1600-h/che+1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298057961503505266" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3dW0yzxQDBGFt8kkBQBxYcMpZZ4OijO3H9MSvSksJ7HFLMbbnSPdaX24GmTDHT8Q9c1Czp7A767ZP_52Pm_Q2uE530iZzBsmlai8ZBNdnDmJJhMMyyqQ35i5fUHzz_ndzjHsJkH8jxoc/s400/che+1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div>(Amanda this past Summer....the joy and delight of her whole family!)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcavXbArEVvlPyMvAMvlg7pABxcyzmpq_N8NQLrIG91jPftj5a9-aT4tJ5jIo1GFLMhmCKPa-PblYkml0PEco5mNtGcMlidcnsWOO0vjwJ8h1unEHkP8LU-lAztaDhYbPTz0hNcizXaMU/s1600-h/che+6.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298058169577591554" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcavXbArEVvlPyMvAMvlg7pABxcyzmpq_N8NQLrIG91jPftj5a9-aT4tJ5jIo1GFLMhmCKPa-PblYkml0PEco5mNtGcMlidcnsWOO0vjwJ8h1unEHkP8LU-lAztaDhYbPTz0hNcizXaMU/s400/che+6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div>The nurses said she was brand new, had only been there a few days. I found a rocking chair against the wall that I sat and held her frail little body. Around that time Mary burst into the cold ward in her cute sunshiny-ness, calling out greetings to the nurses...everyone loves her in that hospital and watching her... pony tail swinging and her ready-to-laugh-cuteness, I knew why. She picked up Alex who was just as delighted to see her as she was him and we laughed as he laughed and interacted better than he had in so long...... It was time to leave, time to put "littles" back in their cages, time to pull the metal bars back up and here that "click" of them locking that makes shadows pass back over the faces of the prisoners inside of them. I pulled Nidia away from my chest, the screeching started again and laid her back in her cold bed. Mary laid Alex down and we started to walk away....silent tears streamed down his face and he cried so hard, all completely silently that he started to choke and and his body went into spasms. The nurse walked over and in typical reaction picked him up and literally dropped him back on the bed ( I guess they think that clears the airways) all the while tears were streaming down his beautiful face. Finally our little Alex who we watched starving in the downstairs ward for years had been moved upstairs to the malnourished ward...he was getting better, his cheeks chubbier and his smile coming from a full tummy rather than only from the sweetness of his spirit...finally he was well enough to not just struggle for mere survival but to feel the loss of love in his lonely existences and so the tears fell from his beautiful black eyes, he didn't want to be walked away from again.</div><div>We were silent as we left the hospital to meet the boys working at a coffee shop, quiet as we kissed our husbands and I sat down at a nearby computer to start working on my next mission team coming the end of February and started listening to my ipod, one of my favorite songs was playing and usually hearing about the love of God and His mercy brings me joy and comfort but not that day, I just couldn't listen...not anymore. It was impossible to hear about the mercy of God extended to me when it looked like it was being withheld from children like Cherish and Alex. Andrew got up from his computer and went and grabbed some kleenexes for me, Scott wonderful man that he is...walked over, put his arm around my shoulder and said he loved me and did I need anything from him...I shook my head no...almost hating the love that was abundant for me and lacking for "them" ...the tears wouldn't stop and Scott sensing the moment which is something he does well, kissed my forehead and walked away. I sat there and wrestled with God, wrestled with Him all through the night and the next day. This wasn't a new struggle for me or anyone else who spends time in places like Hermano Pedro, but I think it surprised me that I wasn't "passed" this struggle. Was His mercy "limited" was His arm short...if no to both of these, why was Cherish starving physically and emotionally and why did Alex struggle with a grief so deep a grief we can't fathom... the grief of being completely being forsaken. Later I was just browsing through a couple chapters in Isaiah and TRUTH came as it always does...faithfully, powerfully, tenderly even when I act like my spirited little Madi when she is quick to make assumptions on my heart for her. In Isaiah 59 it talks about injustice and the sins of a nation, but these words caught my eye<br /><br />"Now the LORD saw, And it was displeasing in His sight </div><div>that there was no justice. And He saw that there was no man</div><div><em>And was astonished that there was no one to intercede</em>;<br />Then His own arm brought salvation to them........A Redeemer <em><strong>WILL</strong></em> come to Zion" <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBcJ3uP8lj1CkyRkI76RQ59AuFU_PS_yw6liPnhvOPiJhOqM25FNzsLKBXLq0H8LCLdBSBbWiJ7EMMpAsGtyzF8p5X4IpKxT8TWD_ex3TikQMZISz3IrGSGXSK5hwHP4bxMiqZ-UGGRTA/s1600-h/che+5.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298057988606103938" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBcJ3uP8lj1CkyRkI76RQ59AuFU_PS_yw6liPnhvOPiJhOqM25FNzsLKBXLq0H8LCLdBSBbWiJ7EMMpAsGtyzF8p5X4IpKxT8TWD_ex3TikQMZISz3IrGSGXSK5hwHP4bxMiqZ-UGGRTA/s400/che+5.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div>That was truth over these children's lives, that was THE HOPE, THE PROMISE.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLaaKMUX3Wldx6aaBLX1Dt5wrz4VO6IOa2o23HUp75mRMuy8UDoQvbOpy_CExeV7AFNZxBoBkAE_ked3MLOQy1kKphu4tOimVmSgiP8Obp_waUrfWryX0c07S9KrQRAWyxhRg1M4YNzzM/s1600-h/che+4.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298057980411232290" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLaaKMUX3Wldx6aaBLX1Dt5wrz4VO6IOa2o23HUp75mRMuy8UDoQvbOpy_CExeV7AFNZxBoBkAE_ked3MLOQy1kKphu4tOimVmSgiP8Obp_waUrfWryX0c07S9KrQRAWyxhRg1M4YNzzM/s400/che+4.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div>I think I will go kiss Cherish's little face tomorrow ...thank you for praying and for loving these babies!</div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPknFkFt-LkrI5aE4ctMEVVkpL9ETP6N1Cbj5-n2SMm4vExnRJSYjd8HF3-c79whOJZsBqgcSzgGFHBIlDOTSiR5Qwf1GoDwTEFH3q218ZVLK0xOEhdI-BN2-SvtIHSLPhS3l7RkPJo_A/s1600-h/che+3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298057975215337410" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPknFkFt-LkrI5aE4ctMEVVkpL9ETP6N1Cbj5-n2SMm4vExnRJSYjd8HF3-c79whOJZsBqgcSzgGFHBIlDOTSiR5Qwf1GoDwTEFH3q218ZVLK0xOEhdI-BN2-SvtIHSLPhS3l7RkPJo_A/s400/che+3.jpg" border="0" /></a></div></div></div></div>Scott & Melissa Davishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14677314201815327474noreply@blogger.com78tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993320313444474557.post-57004888061070778902009-02-01T21:32:00.008-06:002009-02-01T22:12:16.650-06:00GENERAL NEWS and UPDATE<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXYYuOR7ppY10X_9SCLZS4TiNsT1v_tM5g2uNZZ6_-4u3wu647eIER9qF9gKG8kbuRCdPCD9M_LaZ0kpPGJuwJ0EY9LMko70fs2I2uuGixmT94pkEXoQ675T2ylpOGUbaVw6kNZbz2_Fg/s1600-h/b+24.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298043491609514370" style="WIDTH: 278px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXYYuOR7ppY10X_9SCLZS4TiNsT1v_tM5g2uNZZ6_-4u3wu647eIER9qF9gKG8kbuRCdPCD9M_LaZ0kpPGJuwJ0EY9LMko70fs2I2uuGixmT94pkEXoQ675T2ylpOGUbaVw6kNZbz2_Fg/s400/b+24.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><div><div><div>I love today for all it's restful calming peace.

Bottom line we love these two and consider their friendship, one of our greatest gifts. Andrew and Hannah before they were married both felt called separately to international missions, coming together at Bible school, only ignited their passion and brought more definition, they knew they were being called to bring rescue and a message of hope and healing to young girls who had been abused and were victims of sexual abuse and slavery. The cries of these very girls is loud and desperate in Guatemala and Andrew and Hannah heard and obeyed. They are coming under the minsitry of our dear friends, the Morins and Manos de Jesus ( Guatemalan side) Pray America ( stateside...see blog link on my sidebar) and moving down as full time missionaries this spring/summer. Check out their blog and leave a comment <a href="http://www.redeemedinnocence.blogspot.com/">http://www.redeemedinnocence.blogspot.com/</a> We believe passionately in these two and see the hand and anointing of God all over their lives. We all spent about 5 days in Chichi, hanging with the leadership and the wonderful Guatemalan staff and participating in ministry. Scott and I too are praying about joining with Manos de Jesus in minsitry, just not sure we feel the release at this point to fully commit, but our hearts are there as it is a ministry meeting the needs maybe closest to His heart...widows and orphans. Their feeding program feeds 1000 (!!) children weekly, homes that have been built for widows now dot the beautiful mountains sides of Chichi, fresh clean water is offered to families....Christ is being preached in this Mayan community and it is all we can do at this point not to pack and move to beautiful very rural Chichi, but at this point.... we wait. </div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhjPIaOm1iCTeG_0_Ijs1p7nfVsX9d2v0qEEMEzXJIRHPo-A3MsdGI6yh3jJSvsvPqYdksN5ie0gFUs_bwu5mFc7to4qt4aAesyDLYVzm8soM6V9yMzO0OnaECathah8EGxWo4x5P2lvI/s1600-h/b+23.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298043491189312594" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 326px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhjPIaOm1iCTeG_0_Ijs1p7nfVsX9d2v0qEEMEzXJIRHPo-A3MsdGI6yh3jJSvsvPqYdksN5ie0gFUs_bwu5mFc7to4qt4aAesyDLYVzm8soM6V9yMzO0OnaECathah8EGxWo4x5P2lvI/s400/b+23.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_bOzGdjhLEtJ1aZ7Xu9b_EEyEY_YIzD1zWIPQ8gFUiATCA5ToFYE7VqakG7t1jcEQfIrdJW18MrwFtqhGNrNtJMr8gwh8lL3aM3wKHQRNMZJnf9zdc7hlQl2QE6Zhsr8aCHZJCSwaa8g/s1600-h/bl+2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298041082345077394" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_bOzGdjhLEtJ1aZ7Xu9b_EEyEY_YIzD1zWIPQ8gFUiATCA5ToFYE7VqakG7t1jcEQfIrdJW18MrwFtqhGNrNtJMr8gwh8lL3aM3wKHQRNMZJnf9zdc7hlQl2QE6Zhsr8aCHZJCSwaa8g/s400/bl+2.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKGgz52i0sPxmb-qaFCG53Ubjtl2LnEuU10HFhsJOgUwElTBBv1bj4Jbnel90YuIH7eCTnPSFcjS-aPaZBtneJQZzCLvc6LPzOHT2tQ5i0ebU4Aby-4OcOsIpvg3C3pdL-F82mSZs08hA/s1600-h/bl+9.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298042169113435954" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKGgz52i0sPxmb-qaFCG53Ubjtl2LnEuU10HFhsJOgUwElTBBv1bj4Jbnel90YuIH7eCTnPSFcjS-aPaZBtneJQZzCLvc6LPzOHT2tQ5i0ebU4Aby-4OcOsIpvg3C3pdL-F82mSZs08hA/s400/bl+9.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAjNXOHsl2yKtyCrQljpNa2eXCVBz4csCqpPnF9heMdQzthOOYb0e5N2hXdnO2dEFAvESucrVvER6xgEFEZRfGJzSvNJ9OyNN8NAC_4O1FkZQwUn2n-bTyzIJRWARIEIqal4YqaEsxQdI/s1600-h/bl+10.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298042173492553218" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAjNXOHsl2yKtyCrQljpNa2eXCVBz4csCqpPnF9heMdQzthOOYb0e5N2hXdnO2dEFAvESucrVvER6xgEFEZRfGJzSvNJ9OyNN8NAC_4O1FkZQwUn2n-bTyzIJRWARIEIqal4YqaEsxQdI/s400/bl+10.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8HOK8HE0JkgOoIVLVAZlYTjUnkB_Hs54VV5kUcf8r4mp92OLuhFSW5OQGrz3bkm5dMhgZtVWvslLp7cYrWurA7iwjP0kSC_M7F-6D6qDhceyJvL7DumhV-GHPGyU1F17bfeBSoQxLkoA/s1600-h/b+27.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298045803209774370" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8HOK8HE0JkgOoIVLVAZlYTjUnkB_Hs54VV5kUcf8r4mp92OLuhFSW5OQGrz3bkm5dMhgZtVWvslLp7cYrWurA7iwjP0kSC_M7F-6D6qDhceyJvL7DumhV-GHPGyU1F17bfeBSoQxLkoA/s400/b+27.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div>Andrew and Hannah's arrival in Guatemala was perfect, as they hit the same time as the Authenticos film team...after months of preparation and years of vision for all of us, to have this team here and filming need and ministries meeting those needs within Guatemala was nothing less than awesome. I pretty much walked around with a cell phone glued to my ear coordinating, so don't have pictures, but check out the web-site <a href="http://www.athentikos.com/">http://www.athentikos.com/</a> and please be praying with us that God uses this documentary to bring change and awareness as the "Forgotten" are exposed! I can't tell you how honored I felt to even tag along with this team. I firmly believe exposure can be one of the greatest tools against the enemy and it brings voice to those who otherwise have no voice. The compassion ran deep for every member on this team and I loved working with my good friends, Scott and Amelia Moore who directed the project! More soon!!

Even very happy, in love, brides to be, can get a little sleepy and a certain Kelsey had kept me awake until the wee hours of the morning delighting me with Pre Christmas for Madi....she bought out Old Navy and Target, so if anyone noticed that little girl size 2 winter stock was running low, it was because my Madi was being decked out by Kels, who had flown in the day before from Minnesota!! So there I was sitting at my gate and I fell just a little asleep, ipod playing and slept right through my flight's departure and even more embarrassing, they called my name three times on the loud speaker the laughing flight attendants told me later. I felt immediate peace about missing my flight, well maybe not immediate -- immediate... more like 20 mins of panic, then peace that God's hand was in this. I found out that I either could repeat the same flight the next day or leave later in the afternoon and spend the night in the Mexico City airport and arrive the next day around noon...I was already short on time so opted for the latter. I grabbed a taxi to the Marriott to spend a couple hours with my friends Kirk and Kelley<br />here to bring home their two little boys...our marathon battle of an adoption.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPu_XV2nO6blWWD5DpYE57fXRRJzR9GR0vCjUsZTCNx5JnytsCzhaPIiYI-Cqys69W_9XgCI24UsOG0ERy_Ok7aAfeDXFHkyLqzJ35a1u1D9L5jPzwhyphenhyphenZX1ZnD8Rvhv4Cc-rdZPRyPo44/s1600-h/0+9.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285839529859170690" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPu_XV2nO6blWWD5DpYE57fXRRJzR9GR0vCjUsZTCNx5JnytsCzhaPIiYI-Cqys69W_9XgCI24UsOG0ERy_Ok7aAfeDXFHkyLqzJ35a1u1D9L5jPzwhyphenhyphenZX1ZnD8Rvhv4Cc-rdZPRyPo44/s400/0+9.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Word spread fast and Scott didn't want me staying the night at the Mexico City airport and while we were discussing possibilities, Peter (my bro) The Amazing made reservations for me at a hotel in Mexico City and his e-mail said..."..this is my early wedding present, enjoy and be refreshed in the Lord" By the time I was about to board the plane that afternoon, one of the flight attendants approached me and said " We have talked and we would like you to ride first class" Settled info my cushy first class seat I grinned to myself at the Lord and turned my ipod back on to have to turn it off again when I saw the the cock pit door open and one of the captains walked out and asked if he could sit with me for a minute. He told me that he felt like the Lord had laid it on his heart when he saw me that he needed to speak with me, so he gave me first class and asked who I was and what was I doing in Guatemala....so there we sat, the Guatemalan captain and the girl from Texas who lived in Guatemala....in first class. We talked about orphans and special needs children... we talked about adoptions being closed and the children who had already gone home and the ones still in Guatemala....we talked about the lives and stories of these children and both agreed that one could never just walk away, nor would you ever want to...those faces forever imprinted on your heart and mind, forever worthy of the fight for the lives, forever "our calling" forever His heart! He offered his help and his friends' help and gave me about ten different ways to reach him, so he could be apart of these children's lives. We shook hands and knew the Lord was present. I turned my ipod back on and that song "Into marvelous light" was playing and I looked out the little airplane window and cried...this was God...this was Guatemala!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA6NZ7p5T874omk-hW6ChwfX8l9IAOXXxazSMQceoCh8SaeKwGDtNPdgxyNyy7a3gvR3Fy_k3zMo7DBeXj2jgN9F-VTxIg5_ypGA6upaVUS6Nd4LX_5kDVGXrCLQFyEezNNkXpZmu-fNY/s1600-h/0+7.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285839245530098530" style="WIDTH: 287px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA6NZ7p5T874omk-hW6ChwfX8l9IAOXXxazSMQceoCh8SaeKwGDtNPdgxyNyy7a3gvR3Fy_k3zMo7DBeXj2jgN9F-VTxIg5_ypGA6upaVUS6Nd4LX_5kDVGXrCLQFyEezNNkXpZmu-fNY/s400/0+7.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb1DqyhBthPOkBgbjwC0JqeitxOO-Axt-ZOL09VBdE4YhH5DpgyZrhumU6KZWqscyiAnqE8vG_gAh4AiYhIY9IY_GvDeTFrleWwyPBiJKD1PuV8XRrRU-fOqfYJE-V1jZ5GrARYj6go24/s1600-h/0+8.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285839362662788770" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb1DqyhBthPOkBgbjwC0JqeitxOO-Axt-ZOL09VBdE4YhH5DpgyZrhumU6KZWqscyiAnqE8vG_gAh4AiYhIY9IY_GvDeTFrleWwyPBiJKD1PuV8XRrRU-fOqfYJE-V1jZ5GrARYj6go24/s400/0+8.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjhv2VZ1xQSpd0bnVhZfo0wBS8K_PXBfGpFTgbvXvxiw_yZVIwvT4nUDeHt1yEpiJgwmMymiOEWTbEqzGrfl8stEeKJimRGbHuGg-WgcYR-qZfPw6S_OK3-0yTarpeVWi2cBVJRvffGY4/s1600-h/0+14.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285840198895736706" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjhv2VZ1xQSpd0bnVhZfo0wBS8K_PXBfGpFTgbvXvxiw_yZVIwvT4nUDeHt1yEpiJgwmMymiOEWTbEqzGrfl8stEeKJimRGbHuGg-WgcYR-qZfPw6S_OK3-0yTarpeVWi2cBVJRvffGY4/s400/0+14.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I barely even know where to start blogging again, but because I have been blessed with the most amazing friends and family in the world who love and support me despite long scattered blog posts like this, for them I am going to jump back in and start blogging again.... about our lives in Guatemala and His moving heart and hands that we are privileged to see here!<br /><br />ALOT has happened this past year....we have had many mission teams come which has opened up so many new minsitry opportunities ( more on that soon!)

saw what I saw........I am vowing never to get that sick again, never, at least not in my apartment by myself with a baby.....I have to laugh at what my dad always said to us kids growing up, anytime we would go through something rough ( rough as in being found during hide and seek, or leaving your best doll in the rain overnight or even falling off your bike and getting one of those bad concrete scrapes) "It builds character" he would say "It builds character" ...so it did and so it does... Madi and I had some good character building, the past few days....in finishing my long stretch of wretched dentist appointments, I have had since I lived in Guatemala ( and I am one of those white knuckled gripping, not eating a week before a simple cleaning (ha...little exaggerated) people, seriously dislike the entire profession)...so, how about some good character building, Dad...try about 24 hours in a dentist office over the past 10 months...hey, does it still count as building that old character, when you calmly ask the dentist to please drug you or knock you out so soundly that you don't wake up for at least, well, give it 48 hours...and in Guatemala, there is very little "red tape" to go through for such a request...more like, "Si no problemo" My dentist is great, really and does a great job, but a couple days ago, I left Madi with a sitter and went into the city for my second to the last appointment ( can you tell I have been counting) 5 hour one, at that....what a doozy and came home so sick, I couldn't see straight. With Madi as my nurse we battled through it though...poor child, I seriously don't remember even feeding her, but looking at my sink full of dishes, I must have, or maybe Madi whipped up some delectable's for the both of us, who truly knows!! My friend Sharon ( bless her) came laden with "ibuprofeno" ice cream, Gatorade and a "Get Well Soon" balloon, to Madi's delight, trust me, she deserved it, she was the hero baby of the hour, that's for sure!!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoZnhP1VLTh0Wlmhu8ud4amriANB-PkNwzy1BW7D-JLYEGcE96YMfDDQdj79D3s7BFYpSuOvj8oTkGh2nyV8kFgxXbIZLxAA3b86oWUwZcNVVKXymlwmzv2aSL4U8bxyqgJ_vYlfTANVg/s1600-h/Get+well+soon!!!.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5123487101337415602" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoZnhP1VLTh0Wlmhu8ud4amriANB-PkNwzy1BW7D-JLYEGcE96YMfDDQdj79D3s7BFYpSuOvj8oTkGh2nyV8kFgxXbIZLxAA3b86oWUwZcNVVKXymlwmzv2aSL4U8bxyqgJ_vYlfTANVg/s400/Get+well+soon!!!.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div></div><div><br /><br />I had to share this song with you guys...many of you may have already heard it, but it so adequately describes the heart changing that the Lord allows, once our eyes have been open to need...<br /><br /></div><div></div><div>"Compassion ~ is not a bending toward the underprivileged from a privileged position; it is not a reaching out from on high to those who are less fortunate below; it is not a gesture of sympathy or pity for those who fail to make it in the upward pull - .....On the contrary, compassion means going to those people and places where suffering is most acute and building a home there. God's compassion is total, absolute, unconditional, without reservation. It is the compassion of one who keeps going to the most forgotten corners of the world, and who cannot rest as long as he knows that there are still human beings with tears in their eyes."</div><div></div><div>"I saw what I saw </div><div></div><div><br /><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3AyAKns9qT8&rel=" width="425" height="355" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"></embed></div>Scott & Melissa Davishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14677314201815327474noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993320313444474557.post-45698247890253190362007-10-13T20:15:00.000-05:002007-10-13T21:52:46.068-05:00Sometimes, pictures are just better than words.......and this seems like one of those moments. After an unforgettable ( on many different accounts) two weeks and more to share than I possibly have time to share at this time, I thought I would just post tons of pictures and then try to fill in the gaps of my last two weeks over the coming days. First, thank you guys so much for your e-mails,phone calls and for keeping up, letting me know you are praying and just for your support and friendship... I have no idea why I have been so blessed with such amazing, precious friends, but I am forever grateful that I have and your prayer support is what keep us going, seriously!! Some of the highlights of the past two weeks....<br /><br />*** Time spent with my wonderful mom, who originally planned to come for a little under a week, but pushed her time back some and stayed for nearly two. We had such an amazing time and she was just my rock and support during some pretty hard days. We had a blast watching Seth ( my folks' youngest from Guatie) and Madi play and enjoy each other...I am afraid Madi taught "Angel Seth" a couple of her little tricks, but we just laughed and enjoyed our babies. My mom leaving all of her kids at home was a huge sacrifice and I really have no words to thank my folks for the time spent with her...only God could have orchestrated the timing of her visit....so good and "right" to be together again! We also were able to spend about three days with Lucas, the toddler my parents are in process of adopting...Lucas needs surgery in the states and we are praying his long journey home will be over soon and he can receive the help he needs! He is a doll baby!<br />(this is my mom and Seth)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjfdLtDCn18vEBrpotqCMFiRYqWDK0PplG-D6yAobGtxmeo7doGq70YAUtcI7HiAQcohaDexi_1iSBpEGwjOakOdCbuJ73npM4gMjL6ZTQbSuau4WiqN8aNxIcZ_oNztFE2tzWApUozW0/s1600-h/pic+27.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5120997828486966866" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjfdLtDCn18vEBrpotqCMFiRYqWDK0PplG-D6yAobGtxmeo7doGq70YAUtcI7HiAQcohaDexi_1iSBpEGwjOakOdCbuJ73npM4gMjL6ZTQbSuau4WiqN8aNxIcZ_oNztFE2tzWApUozW0/s400/pic+27.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />****My girls and dear friends, Mary and Kelley coming for almost a week from Michigan.... spending time with them was probably the most refreshing time, I can remember, in a long time. Thank you Kirk and Tim for holding down the homefronts. We laughed, prayed, talked, talked, talked and talked. These two are the true meaning of the word "friends" and pretty much as soon as I saw them, I just started crying, after a rough couple of months with major upheaval in Guatemala regarding adoptions, and it effecting EVERYTHING we touch, the enemy pounding on our doors, hard, just seeing my friends' faces, sent me over the edge and true to style, they were there, with open arms, the words of God and hearts that are as true as they come.....Kelley came to see her two boys who she and her hubby are in process of adopting, rough adoption and their faith has been humbling to all of us on the sidelines. We spent time in Chichi with the Pray America ministry, with Steve Osborn with Amor Del Nino ministry and just seeking His face as we all are sensing this orphan ministry vision He has laid on our hearts, come to fruition. We also spent time at Hermano Pedro, first time for Kelley and Mary but they didn't lose much time as we all gathered around a little girl who is about 6 years old in the malnutrition ward, who was having seizure after seizure right before our eyes and the choking and not being able to breath was killing her....we took her stiff little body out of her "cage", bowed back in a "U" shape as she continued to have seizures and just laid hands on her and began to pray and then watched as right before our eyes and in our arms, the Lord miraculously, cleared her airway, stopped her seizures and touched her little body....we cried and praised God. Ron Morin<br />( director of Pray America) also blessed the three of us with a free taxi ride and day spent in Panachel, had lunch overlooking Lake Atitlan and enjoyed every second!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEtnbKqS9gI5qunMR9-ivfecl1QieRwMg9N3F1tnKuW9Cdwv2R9EKbrgqiUNHanTpIARn-yoCKoXhkE5EphMA4TJ1qE9WRxXxbP3jN9TUBIhNUSE_sB992cgnpYBN6nR7SetYyT9tcn4s/s1600-h/pic+31.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5120998322408205970" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEtnbKqS9gI5qunMR9-ivfecl1QieRwMg9N3F1tnKuW9Cdwv2R9EKbrgqiUNHanTpIARn-yoCKoXhkE5EphMA4TJ1qE9WRxXxbP3jN9TUBIhNUSE_sB992cgnpYBN6nR7SetYyT9tcn4s/s400/pic+31.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />*****My dear friend, Sharon who has battled for the life of her adopted daughter, Bella....for over 14 months that she has lived here in Guatemala away from her husband and family, during a very stretching and "impossibly" hard adoption process, received word that the courts officially agreed with what Greg and Sharon have known from day one, that Bella was their daughter and the victory is all God's...only HE could have pulled this one off!!

Please just pray, pray that the Lord would be honored, be Victor, that He would continue to "place the solitary in families" and that the enemy would be bound.

store) when I spotted my friend Sarah's husband, Tony and their son Jacob, strapped in a front pack to his dad. "Hey" we called out over the crowd and Tony made his way over to us while I laughed and said "You doing the whole single dad shopping trick?" he laughed right back and said " Yep, how am I doing?!" Our conversation soon turned to what we are all talking about these days in Guatemala and our friends and families are talking about back home and my adopting families are talking about with me daily, the political climate of adoptions, which is in complete upheaval. Tony commented that he and Sarah just felt strongly that if for some reason they were stuck in the adoption process for Jacob and the country closed, they would simply see the Lord's hand in leading them to live in Guatemala... Jacob snuggled closer to his daddy and I marveled at this couple's faith, but he struck a cord in my heart for those children who were not snuggled in the front pack of a parent who was willing to lay their life down in love for them....so this is a plea for all of you faithful friends to gather at the throne on behalf of the many little ones in Guatemala who are without families and hope, that the Lord would have mercy!! Politics are at their height here in Guatemala, strong statements by the Department of State have been issued, speculations made, rumors flying that spark fear in families waiting to bring their children home, we guess and second guess to try and figure out what is going to happen, we look back at the history of other countries that have been closed down for some time by the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">implementation</span> of the Hague, and most of all we try and wrap our hearts around the fact that children as precious as yours and mine will be deprived from the only thing they really need and most of all deserve, families and to be sons and daughters and not "nameless" rejects....these children have faces. I ask you to think of your children, your grandchildren, your nieces and nephews and with the preciousness of their lives imprinted on your hearts, please pray for the children of Guatemala and let's trust Him to faithful and mighty to save!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinmFq1LUHJsgNybgaUVLtyjkoFvHa4UoTfM3N8pBKpW5TKEHz0EDFydfe_jDLxQtw7VyiiXngt_jeIPcLm34ogiZNmtu8Kh321c5micvQjWox3RJ9mEMHP3azA0Rpc9T3s08q_gagzpwE/s1600-h/G+1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5115489537224812754" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinmFq1LUHJsgNybgaUVLtyjkoFvHa4UoTfM3N8pBKpW5TKEHz0EDFydfe_jDLxQtw7VyiiXngt_jeIPcLm34ogiZNmtu8Kh321c5micvQjWox3RJ9mEMHP3azA0Rpc9T3s08q_gagzpwE/s400/G+1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />THANK YOU, Katie <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Mohr</span> and all our amazing friends who shipped across country a whole suitcase full of goodies for Sharon, Irene, Bella, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Madi</span> and me.....we had "Christmas" at my apartment as we reveled over each coloring book, puzzle, magazine, books, toys, clothes... literally we were giddy excited...we are still trying to sort who gave what so we can thank you individually, but until then, thank you each so so much.

She is bringing Seth ( two years old from Guatemala and their youngest) and we are envisioning talking our heads off, drinking an insane amount of coke, watching our babies play (SO fun!) swimming every day (oh, whip cream on the cake, our dear friend is paying for us to have a room at a hotel in the city, the whole week) and...and....everything a girl would want do with her mom she hasn't seen in 9 months...more than anything I want to see my mom with Madi in her arms!! It will be a very busy week as we are taking pictures of children in process, seeing attorneys, foster mothers, all our waiting children...so, working, but we will be together and knowing the two of us, talking non stop. My mom wants to come to Antigua to visit Hermano Pedro at least once ( she was actually the one who introduced me to Hermano Pedro almost 6 years ago and daily asks about individual children there) and she would also love to see Steve and Shyrel, so we will see how much we can squeeze in...I personally am excited about just being in the city... AC, huge bathtub, hot water ( did you hear that Alison...oh, and Anne too!) swimming pool, even the elevator kinda has me jazzed... Hmmmm, call me a spoiled American but I haven't been out of Antigua for so long, the city is sparkling from my stand point!! :-) THEN as if the week could get any better...my amazing friends Mary and Kelley are flying down from Michigan and staying for a long weekend, Friday through Wednesday....their great husbands are taking care of the children and we are counting the minutes until we are together and can act like school girls ...I LOVE these friends!!Tons of pictures are coming, trust me, you are going to be begging for me to stop, but I just won't be able to help myself!<br /><br />****By the way....as you have probably picked up on, I usually blog late at nights which is when I am "free" and honestly should be in bed instead of making my friends suffer with my terrible typos because my mind already went to bed hours before..... so, sorry guys and thanks for your patience!! Could I also just thank those of you who e-mailed me privately after I posted "Real Life" I literally cried over every e-mail and was just ministered to by you, your journey and the testimony of God in your life...RICH RICH RICH and I am so blessed by you, thank you!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib9FR8fHbQh2vBFGpPsHgRsuKtM8_o6mKpflv0GbdRLanHGg4BVl7AhPq0G3dur2vjMXf5fmbaiFdqJFeIkeV60XK8WhSQCKrE5uQ5Wr2PpdK-ptc6jHDXA3ICFrYtJBsgZC5pDyZkncU/s1600-h/Pumpkin.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5114401213986842818" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib9FR8fHbQh2vBFGpPsHgRsuKtM8_o6mKpflv0GbdRLanHGg4BVl7AhPq0G3dur2vjMXf5fmbaiFdqJFeIkeV60XK8WhSQCKrE5uQ5Wr2PpdK-ptc6jHDXA3ICFrYtJBsgZC5pDyZkncU/s400/Pumpkin.jpg" border="0" /></a>Scott & Melissa Davishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14677314201815327474noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993320313444474557.post-43494499999752426472007-09-21T16:45:00.000-05:002007-09-21T16:57:56.624-05:00It's already happened....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-bepHkZ-yiD_cr-QNIX36TIQS553geA03mzZSiyVfrGOH58nj0JrMhtez4fqDvvk2y7MbmVVjSA6g4VHPahzczwNue2i0xvq3Kf3SHXGqIfGmThwyFir-3Nwa756HC-sRVwq5rCsdZac/s1600-h/17-4-4.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5112778077126207666" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-bepHkZ-yiD_cr-QNIX36TIQS553geA03mzZSiyVfrGOH58nj0JrMhtez4fqDvvk2y7MbmVVjSA6g4VHPahzczwNue2i0xvq3Kf3SHXGqIfGmThwyFir-3Nwa756HC-sRVwq5rCsdZac/s400/17-4-4.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />......Madeline turned 17 months old this week!!!!!

I am pretty sure I am at the very beginning of this journey and have people like my mom as a goal to aim for...a woman who walks in true freedom from the fear of men, if she knows she is right with the Lord and her family she handles the rest of "life" with this gracious sort of freedom, walking in true humility with not even a trace of an image and the "realness" of her life and love for Jesus serves to attract people to her, like bees to honey. Genetically, she passed not even an ounce of that to me!!! If we are honest with ourselves though...aren't we drawn to reality, drawn to something we can identify with from those who are brave enough to just say "This is who I am and let me tell you about this Jesus" I mean it can be enjoyable to read or hear beautiful words expressed, painting perfect lives, families, homes, ministries, marriages, relationships, parenting, friendships...I like perfect, but I am not drawn to perfect, because there is nothing in "perfect" that I can relate to and honestly the older I get, the less I am drawn to "perfect" I'm liking raw glorious realness these days...because in realness for me is change, life altering, Christ filled change,<br />My whole life I have been a do it by the book kind of girl, I liked living within the confines of a box ( it's safe there, you know) and think I thought (did you get that) that I had it pretty figured out ( in a humble way of course) the right words flowed, my life would naturally fall into line with "the plan" and I could continue saying the right words and having it figured out for years to come....I mean don't get me wrong, my relationship with the Lord was absolutely authentic and there were many times of true breaking in my life...good stuff, really hard stuff, but my fall back or at least what was between the lines of life was this consuming people pleasing. Kind of ridiculous, a major waste of time and most of all bondage the Lord has been determined to set me free from...it's been a long time coming and He is so good!!<br />So real life....could I just glorify the Lord and say...let me tell you about this Jesus...no matter what front I put on, I am as real as it gets, and the testimony of my life, is that the love of God has reached down and redeemed me from my self and plucked me right out of that comfortable box and He never walks away, no matter how undesirable I get. It makes me want to run up one of these beautiful mountains that surrounds Antigua, run to the very top, throw my hands in the air and shout to the world "I don't know the answers any more" I am the one who falls short of the grace of God daily.He's the One Who is faithful every morning. He's the One Who brings compassion and redemption for "lost causes" He's the One Who delights in mercy. He's the One Who heals, forgives, redeems, comforts, saves, purifies, fills, changes, loves...it's Him...it's all Him! So if you wonder who I am....I am the one, who blows it, reacts in the flesh, stresses over the lack of being able to pull this crazy busy life off perfectly, the one who cries easily after a long exhausting day, the one with the pride, the one who gets so busy and looks up and realizes that she hasn't spent any time with the Lord that day, the one who needs help, struggles with fear and letting go of control, flops at least once a day as a mother, the one who doesn't have the answers anymore...I'm the girl who is shedding the image, I'm the one who needs Jesus.....I am the one who He is teaching to walk in the freedom of desperation. I never knew it could be this good and I have never in my life loved Him moreScott & Melissa Davishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14677314201815327474noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993320313444474557.post-37006000534571217022007-09-16T01:58:00.000-05:002007-09-16T02:21:07.234-05:00Happy INDEPENDENCE DAY, Guatemala!<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi89ZZaX8LnVbVZU5Nm9UTX31hefKZWH4-BEmyWUHRJ43OA4PwnOU52y4Y-DubFfRyXtBYq19BOBkw5nVEh2NnRutCP3ZjGbDD263ORgfkp-msA79QIHvE7m5OT2ztIefCPU0q79gtUfaE/s1600-h/R+18-19.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5110694399084191298" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi89ZZaX8LnVbVZU5Nm9UTX31hefKZWH4-BEmyWUHRJ43OA4PwnOU52y4Y-DubFfRyXtBYq19BOBkw5nVEh2NnRutCP3ZjGbDD263ORgfkp-msA79QIHvE7m5OT2ztIefCPU0q79gtUfaE/s400/R+18-19.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>The last couple of weeks have flown, I am convinced life has never been busier and I can assure you I am not one of those wonder women who can pull off life as busy as this, flawlessly, looking fresh as a daisy with mascara still on at the end of the day...nope, not me! Just ask my friends and mom who I call at least once daily to say "Now, how on earth do I pull all of this off" ...still not sure of the answer to that question, knowing myself, not sure I will ever know and I am kinda wondering if the Lord is intentionally planning it this way!! We have put the petal to the metal with adoptions, not knowing what next year is going to bring with the political climate and the Hague and I have been so excited seeing the Lord bring some amazing and precious families forward for children through Amor Del Nino and Casa Bernabe and we are having many families traveling to bring their children home. I am positive that I work with some of the most remarkable families and ministries in the world, seriously....the Lord allows me to be in a position to see utter selflessness, humbling faith, passion, vision and a love that has hands and feet that are put to action and I am not talking about a couple of people, I am talking about a host that God has raised up who are dancing on the streets of injustice over the children here in Guatemala...do you have any idea how exciting that is?!<br />We have a team who is talking, praying and trying not to crawl out of our skins we are so excited about what God <em>could</em> be pulling together in starting a children's home/ministry....I have two very dear friends flying to Guatemala from Michigan the beginning of October, leaving their hubbies with the kids (thanks husbands!) and coming down here for a fact finding, girls weekend...we plan to look at houses, school, visit some ministries together and just kind of get practical about what this would look like if the Lord moved us to do <strong>this thing</strong>. I can't wait...I love these friends and I love seeking the Lord within community like this...so rich!!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWjbJlZItMuGxqn18XLkAUZoL4C1fWqJe9tqQ8o43NIVswxG1k1bc3i63RRUIF9V6LHjOp6egW6fSFxDPtsyPNd1KkZc0KeTONhpMHM0_vvfixF-54IcvDDWBsdZWjOpC_9KyYD7aGgvg/s1600-h/R+4-19.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5110693415536680290" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWjbJlZItMuGxqn18XLkAUZoL4C1fWqJe9tqQ8o43NIVswxG1k1bc3i63RRUIF9V6LHjOp6egW6fSFxDPtsyPNd1KkZc0KeTONhpMHM0_vvfixF-54IcvDDWBsdZWjOpC_9KyYD7aGgvg/s400/R+4-19.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzXQ5N2IB1YUPINKnBEg0YkVn4bESZLJaqVcgEDHSLrFK2y9pxHPh-9Bu7BXiOcHuV0InhjrSWKAFjFc0YanekqdrQwnRLz0stEXpzpPG45Tthwo0RP1smQVnSGA5vFcC3uj94NbDYd-g/s1600-h/R+5-19.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5110693471371255154" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzXQ5N2IB1YUPINKnBEg0YkVn4bESZLJaqVcgEDHSLrFK2y9pxHPh-9Bu7BXiOcHuV0InhjrSWKAFjFc0YanekqdrQwnRLz0stEXpzpPG45Tthwo0RP1smQVnSGA5vFcC3uj94NbDYd-g/s400/R+5-19.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSeh_O_dpIRhGEyx2FSo8OZulHw4ixfkzg0lb-KwZzRYQDb6StJa3IFqyFPcDQL3vu-O57ocQEKFr6bPMeX8YImQtL7Iw1iLdv6zfJt_YLZSH5BIzfGuACfm5Tw67iiLmmXwXWhVZe33Y/s1600-h/R+7-19.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5110693591630339474" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSeh_O_dpIRhGEyx2FSo8OZulHw4ixfkzg0lb-KwZzRYQDb6StJa3IFqyFPcDQL3vu-O57ocQEKFr6bPMeX8YImQtL7Iw1iLdv6zfJt_YLZSH5BIzfGuACfm5Tw67iiLmmXwXWhVZe33Y/s400/R+7-19.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br />Speaking of friends....after some e-mail communication, I was finally able to meet these couples last week...it was this incredible INSTANT connection for all of us.

Guatemalan experience and we had a blast and Madi danced to the drums and even raised her hands and praised the Lord.... bet you didn't know you could do that to band music...I am not sure why she is so cute, but she is and it makes me want to eat her most every second of the day...it doesn't help that she is infatuated with baby dolls, dancing to any music and would be perfectly happy if we read

child training advise for Madi "Train and maintain, Melissa" I was like "Wow, Jen that is really deep and good" which encouraged her to repeat it several more times, which was a good think, I think I needed to hear it several more times "Train and maintain" I like that and trust me, I will take all the help I can get!! Closing this random post because I have to get up early for church tomorrow and will post randomly again soon, I'm sure!! :-) Thank you, each of you for your support and prayers!

Later that day as I was walking to go meet a friend, I was ohhing and ahhing with Madi ( who of course was brilliantly getting alot out of our little nature lesson, I think she was even taking notes) how gorgeous the volcanoes were that particular afternoon, after a heavy rain that morning, the air had cleared and you could see crystal clear every part of the mountains except the very tops, that were encircled by clouds…you know that “heart hurting” kind of beauty and once again I was struck with the utter beauty of this country and yet tragic pain as well…God is at work and you don’t have to look hard or long to see His hand moving in such a mighty way throughout this country and it is thrilling. A group of us, very dear friends are just seeking the Lord about what He wants us to DO with this vision and passion, He has laid on our hearts for the children of Guatemala, each of us have had and are having defining moments that are nothing but the orchestration of the Lord. Right now we are at the very foundations of this “something” and there is a lot of praying, brainstorming and sharing and I have never been so excited and filled with such anticipation in my life…I am not sure what exactly, not sure when and definitely not sure how but “On the mount of the Lord, it will be provided” Gen 22:14 Exciting days!!! </div><div> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdfqk8Qm_1y8NBTZ-2RJF4h9RQVDvyfj05G6D8PMqVbDVHOR3TYG7olwYLs4n1OMJ3uIoJWWFCneKalv_rRLxVDp9NHvPcT3AcM7yzGUsFBpTN_YVzBYUQwhZpWKM3nUSKLHKG7DlFdSg/s1600-h/Ma+1-4.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5105640298662325298" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdfqk8Qm_1y8NBTZ-2RJF4h9RQVDvyfj05G6D8PMqVbDVHOR3TYG7olwYLs4n1OMJ3uIoJWWFCneKalv_rRLxVDp9NHvPcT3AcM7yzGUsFBpTN_YVzBYUQwhZpWKM3nUSKLHKG7DlFdSg/s400/Ma+1-4.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioKRRa7dazof2Ui16F4b5X-xIJ1BeBb5Is_sVzAjKv7XjX5Yi1b7tOLt5bk48QhVGV-EIuZ3VUIsmKxw5y1XV3zXLoFZzBAq8YTaf6y0Zk8HQm_uNnrNCATq1qB5F9uIzHHhd1UfriXSo/s1600-h/Ma+2-4.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5105640375971736642" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioKRRa7dazof2Ui16F4b5X-xIJ1BeBb5Is_sVzAjKv7XjX5Yi1b7tOLt5bk48QhVGV-EIuZ3VUIsmKxw5y1XV3zXLoFZzBAq8YTaf6y0Zk8HQm_uNnrNCATq1qB5F9uIzHHhd1UfriXSo/s400/Ma+2-4.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />I remember a couple of years ago when the ManChen orphanage was in full gear here in Antigua…it was very sad place and especially sad for little guy named Daniel</div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhtQ8FqmH73fDmDmzPxWPKKEClhc__UpUjIEBn5p13PrcRy4dGzFKj9ZbBmeQki9xpaY7-n5xXjnVFsTV4ISX-pEKcUvIG1aALSaPGnIVMFOEqWbjoeWMoKReZXmul1sjt7xRgGugtzJI/s1600-h/O+1-3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5105641831965650034" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhtQ8FqmH73fDmDmzPxWPKKEClhc__UpUjIEBn5p13PrcRy4dGzFKj9ZbBmeQki9xpaY7-n5xXjnVFsTV4ISX-pEKcUvIG1aALSaPGnIVMFOEqWbjoeWMoKReZXmul1sjt7xRgGugtzJI/s400/O+1-3.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinOwohwKEMfjkdptGTjSLMjacRWFxH1kJDu4Xll8-9e72L1qnymymjHwwTN8RbkBDwjhENJIHe0lZqgB-tiFm3aBdHeOpi1aodcej-4exsuljWVFRFZu3QHrOuaw9Jve4gbZY0WsoMeos/s1600-h/O+2-3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5105641913570028674" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinOwohwKEMfjkdptGTjSLMjacRWFxH1kJDu4Xll8-9e72L1qnymymjHwwTN8RbkBDwjhENJIHe0lZqgB-tiFm3aBdHeOpi1aodcej-4exsuljWVFRFZu3QHrOuaw9Jve4gbZY0WsoMeos/s400/O+2-3.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL-fTtK5Ju-QHb6IYaoV9chJFqRLcUT9hrMO9iUbb59LbjY4uXKpdjzXxD0kMF4OrSDErZ1UMyzRremjbLJLL8hwBgzFkOJanibk0HbxQXu6hGSmeZqnWEnjli13z11iwkTm1TRIXOveY/s1600-h/O+3-3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5105642033829112978" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL-fTtK5Ju-QHb6IYaoV9chJFqRLcUT9hrMO9iUbb59LbjY4uXKpdjzXxD0kMF4OrSDErZ1UMyzRremjbLJLL8hwBgzFkOJanibk0HbxQXu6hGSmeZqnWEnjli13z11iwkTm1TRIXOveY/s400/O+3-3.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div>…Daniel was about a year old and was a struggler…having some neurological damage, Daniel acted like a 2 or 3 month old and because his needs weren’t met, he spent a lot of his time fussing and crying, which compounded the problem for the already overworked and few and far between caregivers and he was more often than not just left in his bed…crying One afternoon, we were feeding babies for dinner and each person, had two and three babies and only Daniel was not getting fed, he just lay in his crib and wailed…I walked over and asked one of the nannies if he had eaten yet and she said “He doesn’t really eat much” I picked him up and he immediately stopped crying and I began to feed him slowly, a lot dripped out of his mouth but he was eating and I was crying …. I sat there and cried and tried to feed Daniel and just said out loud to the Lord “Why aren’t you here, Lord, why aren’t You stepping in for this baby who has no one to advocate for him” and He said “I AM” and I stuck another spoon full of cereal in his mouth and in that moment I realized that the presence of the Lord was all over that orphanage, there was not one part of Himself that He was withholding from these children and it changed me and it changed my perspective…instead of desperation and hopeless, which are both directly from the enemy, it is this joy and unbelievable privilege to walk into a place like ManChen and in the power of cross, the hope of the gospel and the powerful love of God and say “Let’s go be apart of the love of Jesus to these children” “I AM” That’s what I hear Him saying as my friends and I pray and seek His face about what He wants us to do…I AM<br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-V4k_ZygA8bkjLkRdYeK_gzmqNJu4G9v3yacMOPRxMZDREed2d418jG_FDvzT5AjhwZqEQbQJ7G8wLp9-8fuVlMKl9EU5pd4wgHBqB5tamQ1KXYZPBwGMJ2KlS9_yD28EIl-KWSnfxPY/s1600-h/Ma+3-4.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5105640457576115282" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-V4k_ZygA8bkjLkRdYeK_gzmqNJu4G9v3yacMOPRxMZDREed2d418jG_FDvzT5AjhwZqEQbQJ7G8wLp9-8fuVlMKl9EU5pd4wgHBqB5tamQ1KXYZPBwGMJ2KlS9_yD28EIl-KWSnfxPY/s400/Ma+3-4.jpg" border="0" /></a></div></div></div></div></div>Scott & Melissa Davishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14677314201815327474noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993320313444474557.post-61002601661953667262007-08-28T16:21:00.000-05:002007-08-28T16:53:00.104-05:00Madeline Elisabeth Scott"Be Thou a Rock of habitation, to which I may continually come; Thou has given commandment to save me, for Thou art my rock and my fortress.

Hague looming seems to just be compounding the problems and uncertainties. It is such an odd situation as anyone on the streets would tell you that adoptions as we all know them are on the rocks, policies changing and in very monumental ways that will effect so many, including the children, yet, the courts are smoothly continuing to process cases…almost feels like an oxymoron. A large hogar right outside of Antigua was raided and the children removed, rumors of hotel lockdowns, foster mothers stopped by police, children taken and a myriad of other rumors along those same line are flying, the papers and news are speaking of it all and with all honesty, it is hard to even keep up and to be able to weed through what is true, what motives are and how this effects all of us and most of all the children. Many if not most families who are living here fostering their children through the adoption process are house bound, as there is just too much uncertainty in the air and Americans are not feeling safe walking the streets with their Guatemalan children, unless the adoptions are complete. Madi and I don’t leave the house without all of our papers, for this very reason. In all of this, ministry needs are increasing…is that even possible…and could I just say, there is nowhere I would rather be. It is like walking through hard times with your dear friend, it only serves to bind your hearts and break down superficial walls as you allow each other into the hidden parts of your heart and lives and this has so served in the same way for me to bind my heart even deeper with this country, the ministries I work with and the children we love and are honored to serve…..most days, I can’t imagine getting on a plane and going home, it rips my heart up to think about it…but, then there is this family of mine and there is no way Madi is not going to be apart of the love they are counting the days to shower on her. Like Peter said one days when we were talking on the phone and I was telling him how that with all of my heart I just wanted to stay in Guatie, how could I leave and yet with all of my heart I want to come home ( talk about a walking contradiction) and he said “Mel, Madi needs us” I love that and he is so right…she does.. we do and when the time is right I have no doubt that Maid and I will be running off the plane into the arms of our famiy....<br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGc-YryVZLLm9GQDuwE5LEMi1KiTv7cFgx8hhizVF_EiMN8kGCiXzSzz9N2eFggLH-N1idRiKlFtBUfFKFXCbxOoVU54l6ihuwvug9ibJDpmcpVeRi8csbWS3jVp_K-n8fbCel87QpHEY/s1600-h/B+2-14.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102861119814363666" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGc-YryVZLLm9GQDuwE5LEMi1KiTv7cFgx8hhizVF_EiMN8kGCiXzSzz9N2eFggLH-N1idRiKlFtBUfFKFXCbxOoVU54l6ihuwvug9ibJDpmcpVeRi8csbWS3jVp_K-n8fbCel87QpHEY/s400/B+2-14.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>… yet, our hearts will always be here as well and we will be counting the days until we can come back....He has given us the desires of our hearts and these have been the sweetest days of my walk with the Lord…I just love Him!</div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSjU8S8BFatfQ5B9eu7fQcWDrXkIph1unMQGnaa0lxw5VA34lUyCtNgJAvMfKoGO5qB2ouUD87eAyIRuNbOABDh5VkDNhT2JQn-6AhewMdIC0XmytBPxWZ0QCOLQovHRKM1lwDwSRt2Pc/s1600-h/B+8-14.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102861514951354994" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSjU8S8BFatfQ5B9eu7fQcWDrXkIph1unMQGnaa0lxw5VA34lUyCtNgJAvMfKoGO5qB2ouUD87eAyIRuNbOABDh5VkDNhT2JQn-6AhewMdIC0XmytBPxWZ0QCOLQovHRKM1lwDwSRt2Pc/s400/B+8-14.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />I have to say that my sister Mary’s visit was hands down, perfect in every way and I am so crazy about her and proud of who she is and just plain love being with her….we had so much fun and Madi of course fell in love with her…but, who would’t? </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKCzImrPWpKDLn_KtfZ_U7PzUejYh8naMya34NU_esj-Yehf-gL4vbjl3ck_p_z093B98Z-pCqg-_TEq_pUy1Jzoap6w6qHUdqwt_8n-JlwRcEXH4LvexnyAjxzVUX0KIrXnr2adUszGw/s1600-h/B+9-14.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102861579375864450" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKCzImrPWpKDLn_KtfZ_U7PzUejYh8naMya34NU_esj-Yehf-gL4vbjl3ck_p_z093B98Z-pCqg-_TEq_pUy1Jzoap6w6qHUdqwt_8n-JlwRcEXH4LvexnyAjxzVUX0KIrXnr2adUszGw/s400/B+9-14.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbGIA_xT7tlDpMsRQq8XqKzH9m6r7QFiiui9o0hiau_9OQh4prgf-lWQZAab3QrDLrqcucSYKXfphheQwBsasrUGA6YL1XTDMXMnxiD1_uMC3r1SeF-FWabRjtFbpSu466KP8X-eJzYRk/s1600-h/B+11-14.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102861703929916066" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbGIA_xT7tlDpMsRQq8XqKzH9m6r7QFiiui9o0hiau_9OQh4prgf-lWQZAab3QrDLrqcucSYKXfphheQwBsasrUGA6YL1XTDMXMnxiD1_uMC3r1SeF-FWabRjtFbpSu466KP8X-eJzYRk/s400/B+11-14.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrdoWd3E_Y6pF5H50tJqW-Xa2nvmOtCmc3z_D7p0Z-mWeiwX7d0zABSunyZOniKRdALHDH-DqMsv3jcoaQfkbVP8ags40ML3zC4sMQ5emkDHcmsvd_fnJfIuO9t-c64pgG3B_gW5enqOQ/s1600-h/B+7-14.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102861454821812834" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrdoWd3E_Y6pF5H50tJqW-Xa2nvmOtCmc3z_D7p0Z-mWeiwX7d0zABSunyZOniKRdALHDH-DqMsv3jcoaQfkbVP8ags40ML3zC4sMQ5emkDHcmsvd_fnJfIuO9t-c64pgG3B_gW5enqOQ/s400/B+7-14.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT7h1y8-kh8bXP8ibHunBm59LNdjeuSPkLZP2ZHOGWr6PI73VnutIvpFtq_OUROFF5klqnOXkR5yJ1yHeyqRQNViOL4P1TuEtEwh66l5qr5gv5DfmXLpQv9MDcZFUVegdsktshqIq1hl8/s1600-h/B+12-14.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102861768354425522" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT7h1y8-kh8bXP8ibHunBm59LNdjeuSPkLZP2ZHOGWr6PI73VnutIvpFtq_OUROFF5klqnOXkR5yJ1yHeyqRQNViOL4P1TuEtEwh66l5qr5gv5DfmXLpQv9MDcZFUVegdsktshqIq1hl8/s400/B+12-14.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />We also had the treat this week of our dear friends the Nelsons…well, two of them, Gabrielle and Tim who brought a team down from the church they pastor to serve at Casa Bernabe…come over for lunch!

name... Thank you, thank you, thank you.. YOU are the gift of God to these children, please continue praying!! Here are some pictures and my bad, very untechnical attempt to video Sam Sam...I can't figure out how to add sound, but I'll get some help with it and add it later. Sam Sam was having a rough day today and while most of the children had been taken outside in the courtyard and into the sunshine, Sam was left inside the ward and when I found him was banging his head against the side of his crib, he was so miserable and banging so hard and crying because it hurt but couldn't stop himself...it took him about 10 minuets being held outside, away from his crib for him to settle into some kind of peace and quiet. It takes very little...There are so many prayer needs right now, with elections and the Hague looming, the country is feeling pretty unsettled....we need prayer support for His hand of protection over the children most of all and just His direction in regards to moving forward with adoption ministry while the doors are still open. There is no doubt that He is moving and working, we all see it, talk about it, revel in it and want to align ourselves to His heart and hand....</div></div></div></div></div></div>Scott & Melissa Davishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14677314201815327474noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993320313444474557.post-24466082474245344452007-08-14T01:11:00.000-05:002007-08-14T01:34:34.019-05:00For Your Kingdom, for our children, for the sake of every nation.....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3gkfYsoNtUSRnpb4zqKkJzRvOQ8kal9T8V-yyusopXiRz8dKdIJrKBVeUUZYsKdEsDPC4Lr-zp8iRaWGa7_tFazC60aLo87pJDzQ77FEtFXX-1ZGc7nK5q3pd9l_f60VMgV2HFemxXJE/s1600-h/Al+6-17.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098435473033675522" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3gkfYsoNtUSRnpb4zqKkJzRvOQ8kal9T8V-yyusopXiRz8dKdIJrKBVeUUZYsKdEsDPC4Lr-zp8iRaWGa7_tFazC60aLo87pJDzQ77FEtFXX-1ZGc7nK5q3pd9l_f60VMgV2HFemxXJE/s400/Al+6-17.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Let it be said of us<br />While we walked among the living<br />Let it be said of us<br />By the ones we leave behind<br />Let it be said of us<br />That we lived to be a blessing for life<br /><br />Let it be said of us<br />That we gave to reach the dying<br />Let it be said of us<br />By the fruit we leave behind<br />Let it be said of us<br />That our legacy is blessing for life<br /><br />This day<br />You set life, you set death right before us,<br />This day<br />Every blessing and curse is a choice now<br />And we will choose to be a blessing for life<br /><br />Let it be said of us<br />That our hearts belonged to Jesus Let it be said of us<br />That we spoke the words of life<br />Let it be said of us<br />That our heritage is blessing for life<br /><br />For your Kingdom, for our Children<br />For the sake of every nation<br />************************************************************************************<br />We played this song at our TSCM Banquet this year for one of our slideshows and this week as I was with Alison and we spent time at Hermano Pedro, Amor Del Nino, time together and with Madi and Samuel, this song rang in my ears and within my heart and time and time again, the Lord just impressed it’s truth to me…God speaks to me in Guatemala, I am not sure how else to say it…I mean He speaks to me in many different "places" in life, but never so clearly, compassionately, passionately as He does here in Guatemala, I am so grateful…I have learned to hunger for it when I am Stateside, yearn for it while I am here and “too busy” to get away with Him and treasure and hide it in my heart when I hear His voice…this week it was through the children of Hermano Pedro and Madeline….<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2_Op6uzzHY8p_SQD4wbzh6g0lKO7baLq3WeoSOZ16rBelh3pCHsgOckN3r6r3CVDy27wt-3lSflB-37D4LG3arP1NDiUQezVG98AjhE38y56KqlRquMAZCoCQXxAbYUG651Qkd-7Dx74/s1600-h/Al+7-17.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098435584702825234" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2_Op6uzzHY8p_SQD4wbzh6g0lKO7baLq3WeoSOZ16rBelh3pCHsgOckN3r6r3CVDy27wt-3lSflB-37D4LG3arP1NDiUQezVG98AjhE38y56KqlRquMAZCoCQXxAbYUG651Qkd-7Dx74/s400/Al+7-17.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />......this picture is what greeted us when we walked through the doors of Hermano Pedro…. behind bars, with two mattresses on the floor, obviously drugged, Ali and I walked up to talk to these two I couldn’t tell you ages…it was impossible to tell, both where in jumper suits, the young man’s had slippers attached to them that were so small, they must have almost folded his feet in half and we stood and looked through the bars and they sat on the mattresses and looked at us, eye to eye…the young man obviously felt uncomfortable and leaned towards the young woman, who was the size of a 10 year old in the States and I would guess she was in her 20s, had her hair buzzed off, playing with her hands and she, sensing his discomfort leaned over and kissed his forehead….being locked behind bars or even drugged couldn’t keep these two from drawing comfort and strength from each other. It was such a beautiful picture, I think I saw tears in Alison's eyes. We then moved further into the ward and Alison was able to meet so many of the children, spend time with little Alex, Sam Sam and we also visited the older guys and Alison thrilled a couple of them by buying them cokes…later when I was saying goodbye to Willy ( pictured with Alison below) he stumbled around a little to find the right words and with his beautiful face beaming he said in Spanish that Alison was his new friend and that she was the friend of his heart….there is no doubt as to why everyone I have known who has had the privilege of spending time in Hermano Pedro is drawn back and can never forget or get enough of the beauty in and of these children, their unbelievable strength, their endurance, their joy, their pain and their hope....<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitepkf5qDMiA9UC5-Ill4UEDL3N7pXD8O2ZlC-p7ZXBBWnToc88JpnGpqB_OIHuBVSoBnZlryhiTsbNQb6O23NUySU1YAc64km9lNczXn27lOqVzoYF4XicRB5meCYH02nLjGHlbTZCSo/s1600-h/Al+9-17.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098435743616615218" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitepkf5qDMiA9UC5-Ill4UEDL3N7pXD8O2ZlC-p7ZXBBWnToc88JpnGpqB_OIHuBVSoBnZlryhiTsbNQb6O23NUySU1YAc64km9lNczXn27lOqVzoYF4XicRB5meCYH02nLjGHlbTZCSo/s400/Al+9-17.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD5dLiovNXmVpL8QTim_JPhGvsYAOzCsByvL1YHW9mA0M7iKGC3XgkGI-QVO4wOi1E7rBJttOUkSvIklfkuzpOQgOAC7GQqGlOO6MrvDKa3PTKWqs_n533FSHO7nVv1qjM31TMBCcp8uQ/s1600-h/Al+5-17.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098435404314198770" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD5dLiovNXmVpL8QTim_JPhGvsYAOzCsByvL1YHW9mA0M7iKGC3XgkGI-QVO4wOi1E7rBJttOUkSvIklfkuzpOQgOAC7GQqGlOO6MrvDKa3PTKWqs_n533FSHO7nVv1qjM31TMBCcp8uQ/s400/Al+5-17.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCw88Bgx-SXhYVP_ctUBCguZ3A3ULRx3XNnD6USkYIiy0hguaY0Ehm8kVy3OIvfkDPV7RG5nBZ9zaHeeGMSKqB8aQhdwkhUs4zabC7W6wiCh3NSydUJ30a2FcvFEVRtYx8GNbsrIS62ws/s1600-h/Al+8-17.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098435644832367394" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCw88Bgx-SXhYVP_ctUBCguZ3A3ULRx3XNnD6USkYIiy0hguaY0Ehm8kVy3OIvfkDPV7RG5nBZ9zaHeeGMSKqB8aQhdwkhUs4zabC7W6wiCh3NSydUJ30a2FcvFEVRtYx8GNbsrIS62ws/s400/Al+8-17.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />One day this week as Alison and I were sitting in the park with the babies, two little street boys came up, I think their original intent was to ask for money, but before they could even finish that sentence or hold their hands up for any coins I would give them, they saw Madi and immediately knelt down beside her stroller…I sat and watched as those barefoot, ragged dirty, poor little boys and Madi enjoyed each other to the fullest they laughed, tickled her and peppered me with questions about her…we had a blast, they were so sweet and adorable but you know the thing that struck me the most was the absolute DELIGHT on Madi’s face...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeaSnLl4tOuKMCKzyyHn93p0-JSj6n-LjAvbveUlb9N4v_GISm6QOvoR6EhPLIhUDwU-i7bXD6Rh0gel29Kq_QaljXaQbniMMKaYeXbOXBRtvwnYVYMDs42FwiZntWyl-qxxZF6nXVDyU/s1600-h/Al+2-17.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098435219630604994" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeaSnLl4tOuKMCKzyyHn93p0-JSj6n-LjAvbveUlb9N4v_GISm6QOvoR6EhPLIhUDwU-i7bXD6Rh0gel29Kq_QaljXaQbniMMKaYeXbOXBRtvwnYVYMDs42FwiZntWyl-qxxZF6nXVDyU/s400/Al+2-17.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />…the next morning I woke up and as I laid there listening to her breathing ( uh…snoring) and thought back to the day before and I was struck again by my baby’s pure, untainted, unprejudiced, non judgmental love for those two little boys…She wasn’t turned off by how dirty they were, or didn’t have to "make" herself be kind and compassionate, she didn’t view her time with them as sacrificial, for sure not benevolent or merciful, she wasn't trying to "fix them"…she was just absolutely delighted to be with them, nothing more attached or beneath the surface…these were her people and she was thrilled they wanted to spend time with her. Do you have any idea how much joy that brought me and in the beautiful simplicity of the moment to realize that as dirty little hands reached out to hold Madi’s clean, chubby little hands that the only difference between Madi and those boys was that she was adopted (taking it to a spiritual realm as I don't know these little boys specific circumstances)…that’s it…no other difference and in her beautiful little baby way, God used Madi to once again show me the simplicity of the gospel and the joy He experiences in us and the freedom He desire for us to walk in the love of God.....we love, because He first loved us!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQwpy5poKqvMD3YpN6D5NzcIQcKPlpR1PGnNQ38IBmw1QjsQ3iMAySiv2QDlRqjl3hFtRwtV2APDNL5LvffliJeRgqpkUKXMzrey_HfoiC6nBnXJYgxwZARUqsS1-_1wspYzHVzDNN4wo/s1600-h/Al+11-17.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098435924005241682" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQwpy5poKqvMD3YpN6D5NzcIQcKPlpR1PGnNQ38IBmw1QjsQ3iMAySiv2QDlRqjl3hFtRwtV2APDNL5LvffliJeRgqpkUKXMzrey_HfoiC6nBnXJYgxwZARUqsS1-_1wspYzHVzDNN4wo/s400/Al+11-17.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3eJC67cXoNIEQLImQi-zz88Fhrlj2x4Vw4rxedFS8c_aDHlIhz4RqME_YGugAeMThik8aLPOCJ_XuYcupGWSoPSHlHsQMIMSmwh0LZlUCH7VWnD4dnU3wh0SOZR6QPPBWtvQslgifmm8/s1600-h/Al+17-17.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098436396451644338" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3eJC67cXoNIEQLImQi-zz88Fhrlj2x4Vw4rxedFS8c_aDHlIhz4RqME_YGugAeMThik8aLPOCJ_XuYcupGWSoPSHlHsQMIMSmwh0LZlUCH7VWnD4dnU3wh0SOZR6QPPBWtvQslgifmm8/s400/Al+17-17.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I realize that this is a ridiculously long post, but I couldn’t close without shouting from the rooftops that MY SISTER IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mary arrived on Saturday and you can only imagine that after 7 months of not seeing each other, the time we are having….it is about as perfect as life gets….I don’t think we have finished one full conversation yet and have started about a million, anyone listening in would think we were insane, but you know how sisters are…another week full of THIS is complete bliss!!! We stayed in the city over the weekend as Alison and Samuel left on an early morning flight today and we didn’t want to spend all our time driving back and forth to Antigua…so we have gone to the Guatemala City Zoo, walked in the mall OF COURSE Hyper Piaz and have seriously thought of setting up residency in the hotel’s Jacuzzi…we will head back to Antigua today, we already miss Alison and Sam and are so grateful for every sacrifice they made to come and stay for two wonderful weeks….More soon!<br /><br /><a

if we were having a better time. Sam and Madi adore each other or really Madi adores Sam, actually thinks he is brilliant and Sam bravely puts up with my little native! They couldn't be more different...Sam is serious, thoughtful (as in a deep thinker) sensitive, detailed and intent while my little chocolate drop is the farthest thing from serious, impulsive, funny, life of the party, and a complete follower...the two of them together keep Ali and I rolling! We have late night parties in my kitchen by pushing my living room chairs in there not to wake the babies who are sleeping in the living room and bedroom and during the days have enjoyed showing Ali and Sam our beautiful Antigua! We plan to introduce her to all the ministries next week, Hermano Pedro, Amor Del Nino and Casa Bernabe which will be so unbelievable for me....full circle...feels like one of those wonderful, exposing your heart to your dear friend, moments...saying "This is IT...these are the people and children who hold my heart!" Can't wait! We almost got Ali's boyfriend Jason to come for a long weekend but work prevented him...but no worries, Jason, you were one of the main topics of conversation around here, which is almost just as good! Alison, promptly labeled Madeline as "Dory" as in Dory of Finding Nemo...never have I seen a more accurate description of anyone....until that is, Alison simply walked into the kitchen one morning while I was making breakfast and scared me to death as I screamed, she laughed and said "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, Dory I <strong>have</strong> been here all week" That has happened often here in Guatemala as I slowly lose my mind and any "smarts" I used to carry with me! Oh well, my friend is here and we are happy and having an amazing time....God is good as always!<br /><a

border="0" /></a><br /><br />There is a huge need for prayer support as we move forward with placing children with forever families with the ministries I work with....we aren't sure what we are looking at timing wise with the Hauge and yet feel such a burden to work while it is still light and we have this window of opportunity...please pray for peace in the midst of crazy busy-ness and hectic schedules, strength, grace, direction, anointing and for His blessing as He continues to keep the doors open to unite children and families together...He is still on the throne!<a

here, she was learning Spanish and I was here "fostering" my little sisters, Alli and Amanda. We met at an English Bible Study and our friendship was almost instant. We grew close during our time here and have stayed close ever since. Katie is one of those refreshingly honest people who has a beautiful way of expressing her heart and who is insightfully discerning. So often as we have journeyed together through different events in our lives, time and time again Katie would express what was going on in my own heart when I didn't have the words...definitely on the same wave length to say the least, but she also just has this amazing gift! We both returned to the states for a while and then Katie flew back to Guatemala to serve in Jalapa where her life changed dramatically as she met and married her husband, Carlos! Anyway, Katie, Carlos and her parents all just happened to be here in Guatemala for a couple weeks and I can't even tell you how much fun it has been to be together again.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9-C-KsY_skY0hyphenhyphenHsh5e1yejEVkZMPyxF3_YaQAvBQW8rH1_YbY5VX_oCqbabs1LRLd3mxDGNQutA_9jtQj_HueixYXsXm19kcj4Zey8Tgg8jgbCu5JKp0Ng_k8MHECopoBvcAPkdWU4A/s1600-h/K+2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092469114919469362" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9-C-KsY_skY0hyphenhyphenHsh5e1yejEVkZMPyxF3_YaQAvBQW8rH1_YbY5VX_oCqbabs1LRLd3mxDGNQutA_9jtQj_HueixYXsXm19kcj4Zey8Tgg8jgbCu5JKp0Ng_k8MHECopoBvcAPkdWU4A/s400/K+2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The Lord can change your life in a year, that's for sure...neither one of us would have ever dreamed we would be where we are today!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWwpUAZChwiWgoW5q3KoPr5MAw2fmWEufj3M_IumFcuwSRFvHre7fUUJqb9JBwKhG4oVzT7MdZPqOBpl0A_E9srjXEzefBgk7v6HouLjPFLZaRoucOoT3tBjEYrAdniRpSuyIwbsykFqY/s1600-h/K+1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092469033315090722" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWwpUAZChwiWgoW5q3KoPr5MAw2fmWEufj3M_IumFcuwSRFvHre7fUUJqb9JBwKhG4oVzT7MdZPqOBpl0A_E9srjXEzefBgk7v6HouLjPFLZaRoucOoT3tBjEYrAdniRpSuyIwbsykFqY/s400/K+1.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyOBFN17_P9DsepXzcq8_1ZVlx9U0U9NdJ8LicMooZd1SrVerKH8U6ZjvgCELAbPr-t5lcggjC3Xky6bO46Ni9bPoGVIiZUh7CtEbHQ1pN7jKcu1kd9bjNAuvvTEFeYH97cXBxZayC6x0/s1600-h/K+4.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092469260948357458" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyOBFN17_P9DsepXzcq8_1ZVlx9U0U9NdJ8LicMooZd1SrVerKH8U6ZjvgCELAbPr-t5lcggjC3Xky6bO46Ni9bPoGVIiZUh7CtEbHQ1pN7jKcu1kd9bjNAuvvTEFeYH97cXBxZayC6x0/s400/K+4.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ6KQoj_chu7u1PKdBA090SSO-vmisTdp6Y8NtHUl-W0E07VKehi4q33KLQBR6rJolO8fJJy472xp0cM2L1txSk5xCgBLTb5oTvjHhNhXfFtp2-elrznmuqViSuvnqcVwlRvPY-9p5bWI/s1600-h/K+3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092469175049011522" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ6KQoj_chu7u1PKdBA090SSO-vmisTdp6Y8NtHUl-W0E07VKehi4q33KLQBR6rJolO8fJJy472xp0cM2L1txSk5xCgBLTb5oTvjHhNhXfFtp2-elrznmuqViSuvnqcVwlRvPY-9p5bWI/s400/K+3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />We are counting the days until my good friend Alison and her baby Samuel fly in from California on Tuesday to stay for TWO WEEKS! Yeah, pretty much ridiculously happy about that visit!! Alison has been to Guatemala once before when she flew in to help me care for little Lauren Rosenow when we were losing her due to her serious heart condition, but her visit was limited to us going back and forth from the hotel in the city to UNICAR cardiologist hospital, so I am excited to introduce her to everyone and have her live life here in Guatie with me for a few weeks!

Madi has taken off and is walking EVERYWHERE...such a fun stage as she has just become my little companion...she is such a happy baby, and keeps me on my toes as she was blessed in the uhhhh, well the spunky personality department. She reminds me so much of myself, except it's usually the part I subconsciously try to cover and not show too often!!! :-) Ha! My favorite is watching her dance. She bobs up and down with this silly "Aren't you proud of me" smile on her cute chubby face...we both just laugh. She is going to keep me from ever getting too serious and settled in life, that's for sure.

It was such an unbelievably rich day on every front, but my time with Donie was especially memorable as we talked for hours, she counseled and imparted without even knowing that she was what she was doing and the wisdom and depth of her walk with the Lord just flowed as she shared so much of her life and testimony. If it had been at all natural, I would have asked to pull out a notebook and write as she spoke...I could have written a book. She has been on the front lines of orphan ministry for over 40 years, the testimonies and miracles abounded as His word and love went forth through this simple woman whose credentials were only that she was yielded and listening. I didn't want to forget any of it..it's just this desire that wells up in your heart to grab on to the depths that you see of God's hand working in someone's life, which is your own hunger for Him...the desire to sidetrack all of the things that bog us down... bog me down and learn from someone who has grown to know nothing but the cross of Christ and the life He brings, in the simplicity and purity of the gospel.I don't want to waste time, years in being sidetracked, distracted, or bogged down with the unimportant. Mentoring, wow is it ever important and vital. I WANT to hear what God is speaking to someone who has been serving and loving Him longer than I have been alive, that kind of opportunity is an incredible gift. A gift I have been given my whole life with my own mom, someone who believed God for the lives of her children and someone who dreamed big... that each one of her children would love Jesus with every portion of their hearts. She was my "Eli" when I would pad into her room at night and say "Mom, I think God just laid this on my heart" ..she would teach me to go back and say "Speak Lord for your servant is listening" She taught me to hear His voice by her faith. And then I look at Madi, perfect, spunky, darling little Madi...where do I start mentoring her, how could I ever be an accurate picture to her of the Lord, I want her to know His greatness, have her life changed by His love. I could easily be overwhelmed by the "what if's" and the responsibility of leading this little one to the cross...but then, maybe it is more simple than I am making it, maybe it just all starts ( and ends ) with "Jesus loves me this I know"</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimoKVcco9xBBmUVhCKQryGoLMIoXcxOeLV5F6K-ZSlzyu4yGdpaG4CIMMfxsrXEmY3TB_Zmj54nseupeTu7G2c8PH6WTp0p37rp2rG-z1dt6oi27eOtK8r_Rhd2vZRJEbepvPZ92O9RHU/s1600-h/D+8-11.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092083276532433106" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimoKVcco9xBBmUVhCKQryGoLMIoXcxOeLV5F6K-ZSlzyu4yGdpaG4CIMMfxsrXEmY3TB_Zmj54nseupeTu7G2c8PH6WTp0p37rp2rG-z1dt6oi27eOtK8r_Rhd2vZRJEbepvPZ92O9RHU/s400/D+8-11.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr45B5pD3rQGHJj9fEQtYGTRQpJ8Sjz8B9dfN0XdpgFkys8hR1a-I8A4lwWEfqAq097CfV1pwSniUw5xupvHqUVuGhssDFtOTvM3Mv_kfqq2fGCgQjgYJrOcYNxDFaEFTq4XcX6YkG5Gs/s1600-h/Momi.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092087545729925394" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr45B5pD3rQGHJj9fEQtYGTRQpJ8Sjz8B9dfN0XdpgFkys8hR1a-I8A4lwWEfqAq097CfV1pwSniUw5xupvHqUVuGhssDFtOTvM3Mv_kfqq2fGCgQjgYJrOcYNxDFaEFTq4XcX6YkG5Gs/s400/Momi.jpg" border="0" /></a></div>Scott & Melissa Davishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14677314201815327474noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993320313444474557.post-64047585585705712262007-07-22T20:53:00.000-05:002007-07-22T22:13:54.304-05:00Another week.....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIbJGmosX58kcMyOi4L2C_VJtkV3DbLU4LKk4alFUtqGsHOWFhzCnP3vI4P5cgg5phM09MEHV3U5pPRha8KamcR2TQabHJt_Uj2aHnLJUrqhPxtOm2LAGTiExwRzY3Pax_N1zAw9j7kPE/s1600-h/Ca+1-8.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5090212839749861346" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIbJGmosX58kcMyOi4L2C_VJtkV3DbLU4LKk4alFUtqGsHOWFhzCnP3vI4P5cgg5phM09MEHV3U5pPRha8KamcR2TQabHJt_Uj2aHnLJUrqhPxtOm2LAGTiExwRzY3Pax_N1zAw9j7kPE/s400/Ca+1-8.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Seriously, you guys, you have got to be the sweetest, most loyal, supportive friends in the world...thanks for your e-mails checking on us and phone calls too ( and for friends here in Guatemala who offered to baby-sit, come to visit, grocery shop...we felt so loved, thank you!)...we are alive and kicking and gearing up for a busy week ahead of us! My brother Caleb was here for the past two weeks ( he stayed on when the mission team from my home church left) and we have been sicker than sick with some wretched bug and literally would go from the bed, to the couch to the sprite bottle (on the good days)...yeah, not a fun one and it hit all three of us! I kept telling Caleb how sorry I was he was so sick ( he was the sickest of all of us, for two weeks straight) as I knew his "To Do" list for his time in Guatie was long and detailed and instead he was sick on my couch and he just kept saying "Heck, I love being sick with you!" Talk about a true brother to the core! Yesterday was our first really "well" day and we hit the town, walked for hours, ate dinner at good ole' Pollo Campero and treated ourselves to unbelievable chocalate crepes!!!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7L7d8m19fmoLFQW-IG8tulCXemu_Gfvz6OH-7wFWTgYzBsaDhl9VcCRFRvTgvbDdj-oCGrRZuH6S6RWzFggXT_xSGdnK1hW2E7yE9ZA0j2DtUD9ZWWuMzrODFZJJtWzAnXTCAqO5cvss/s1600-h/CA+3-8.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5090212994368684034" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7L7d8m19fmoLFQW-IG8tulCXemu_Gfvz6OH-7wFWTgYzBsaDhl9VcCRFRvTgvbDdj-oCGrRZuH6S6RWzFggXT_xSGdnK1hW2E7yE9ZA0j2DtUD9ZWWuMzrODFZJJtWzAnXTCAqO5cvss/s400/CA+3-8.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfWfEz0hjqjCnGNwFIGyZ7r484iQNtWKeN5nAvSKXdV1FT6MRqwfT-H_hSUVC2Paorb67xCwOxA9LCqc3beDsOw7YDds3MVlh0wZvvU_TezDTGCZ2DlHYuerPDPwfMTFrn6pNznQhiEWg/s1600-h/CA+4-8.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5090213084562997266" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfWfEz0hjqjCnGNwFIGyZ7r484iQNtWKeN5nAvSKXdV1FT6MRqwfT-H_hSUVC2Paorb67xCwOxA9LCqc3beDsOw7YDds3MVlh0wZvvU_TezDTGCZ2DlHYuerPDPwfMTFrn6pNznQhiEWg/s400/CA+4-8.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7rEbqTn2VmrBkP1d5gRmRfRpPocoSNBtchK-1NkbvFN_zrYJ-O2-h9JuEffhUFzNz5XilMDelBqeHkMNeYrrHgp0EzJ_LUxePc3i1dCFpyVFU1QWu93rweGBIlMOoqq_5KcFM0Dfgz08/s1600-h/CA+5-8.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5090213157577441314" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7rEbqTn2VmrBkP1d5gRmRfRpPocoSNBtchK-1NkbvFN_zrYJ-O2-h9JuEffhUFzNz5XilMDelBqeHkMNeYrrHgp0EzJ_LUxePc3i1dCFpyVFU1QWu93rweGBIlMOoqq_5KcFM0Dfgz08/s400/CA+5-8.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiacXEZwAKUn-wpXppAegzWnG6emMq4YUIX-npaBHyjZVYzfXFAndEfyCaovDjvjMfmDMHAdTzeUaWb-cS5PrITwI1bNmkDwb4KO9PewtUkDXSjK4cslcPWjHOg17RE_fVqjVSYRTfrUmc/s1600-h/CA+6-8.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5090213230591885362" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiacXEZwAKUn-wpXppAegzWnG6emMq4YUIX-npaBHyjZVYzfXFAndEfyCaovDjvjMfmDMHAdTzeUaWb-cS5PrITwI1bNmkDwb4KO9PewtUkDXSjK4cslcPWjHOg17RE_fVqjVSYRTfrUmc/s400/CA+6-8.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Caleb left early this morning at 4:00 and Madi and I went to church and then met friends in the park to say goodbye to another good friend who is going home after living here during the adoption process for their twin girls!

This is the God who split the sea and His people walked through on dry ground, this is the God Who heard the cries of His children and brought them into a Promise Land they could barely even begin to believe existed, this is the God Who met their needs, Who fed them, Who taught them, Who guided them, Who miraculously rescued them from the hands of their enemies...and so last Saturday, He stretched my small faith just a little more and exposed me once again to His heart, His power, His life changing love for the children living in Hermano Pedro....

When the rest of our mission team and some of my family left last weekend, I had my brother Andrew, his wife Hannah, little sister Virginia and brother Caleb stay on through another week. Andrew and Hannah came to me one afternoon early in the week excited about this amazing deal they found, super cheap and we could stay in this "resort" right on the ocean about 2 1/2 hours from Antigua! We have been talking about going to the ocean so this seemed like the golden opportunity and we loaded up and headed out for three days. I am not sure if we laughed or sweat more....we had one of the best times I can remember. We completely roughed it, Madi loved every second like a little native and the ocean took our breaths away and we fell asleep each night to the crashing of waves...does it honestly get any better than that? We talked for hours, laughed like there was no tomorrow, took naps in hammocks, weren't even a little careful what we ate, "enjoyed" the crabs, bats, and iguanas ( the latter two IN our huts) played in the waves, stayed up late, experienced the whole island losing electricity for an entire night ( so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face) got eaten alive by mosquitoes and wore grass skirts....okay, well, we didn't wear grass skirts although it would have been completely appropriate, we decided against it when we thought of the alternative for the guys! Such a fun time...We decided it was perfect and want to do it yearly!<br /><a

wanted to post pictures for all of you who have such a heart for this amazing ministry...seriously the blessing of God is all over every part of what this ministry stands for and who they serve, not to mention the ones who are serving....BEAUTIFUL! The Lord has just been reminding me again of the simplicity, the beautiful profound simplicity of the gospel of Christ....and I want to always keep it simple in my own heart and life and let loose of anything and everything else....today twice for lunch and dinner as the children of Amor Del Nino gathered to eat their meal, they bowed their head and one of the kids lead out in prayer...she would pray a sentence and a chorus would rise up from the other kids who would repeat that sentence, they continued on that way throughout the prayer and then they all jubilantly shouted (in Spanish) "Christ Lives" "Christ Lives" "Christ Lives" ...."Who lives" one called out ..."Christ lives" they responded ..."What's His name"... "Christ" ( or "Cristo" in Spanish) "What is He" and then together they all shouted "VICTORIOUS" ....it doesn't get any more simple, profound and powerful as that and no sweeter worship than coming from those children who He is has plucked from hand of the enemy! He is VICTORIOUS!!!</div><div></div><div><a

and simple...it is family reunion time and we are having such a complete and total blast! I haven't see my baby for the last 24 hours as she was engulfed with family the second they arrived at my apartment and she is certain she is "Queen Bee" now as if she ever doubted it before!! More family and the team fly in tomorrow and we will hit the ground running at Hermano Pedro....thanks for all your prayers and for all of you who e-mailed me saying you would have loved to come on this trip, "next time" for sure and we will miss you!!!</div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkPwce4hI9Y0GKoGCDrYCt7B4hGGe88WTXiGOqwzzR2dPmhDGk3CefVGBkfHXPbT-_Vteby9HnxsfL4wQiiJiUHdUfQW9Tp7zYUKgd98-9ZHJPZDd5lSXKp3ANB-gryEoETD3zSLHPD4k/s1600-h/Here+2-7.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5079750662405590994" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkPwce4hI9Y0GKoGCDrYCt7B4hGGe88WTXiGOqwzzR2dPmhDGk3CefVGBkfHXPbT-_Vteby9HnxsfL4wQiiJiUHdUfQW9Tp7zYUKgd98-9ZHJPZDd5lSXKp3ANB-gryEoETD3zSLHPD4k/s400/Here+2-7.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4qh4_20sA9NY_01Xefy5L1ipOEwBQshcULi93QeXBtF4GpiND4HVAr-BKEsoLykbysiIkU9tRCJIyxb3zAn0YC5bSQ8A47EnnrLycefpgMBcjcrP3m1niTH1_1-JrzzOa_vGa2qd09Wo/s1600-h/Here+1-7.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5079750593686114242" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4qh4_20sA9NY_01Xefy5L1ipOEwBQshcULi93QeXBtF4GpiND4HVAr-BKEsoLykbysiIkU9tRCJIyxb3zAn0YC5bSQ8A47EnnrLycefpgMBcjcrP3m1niTH1_1-JrzzOa_vGa2qd09Wo/s400/Here+1-7.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8WT1On7scyJ4T5ppGLWEq1e14xuhuh6IqQ8NmH7htX5SeBK1s-tu7n6GfJ_9GK7CUPUblH0_9YVqpWDhqex0uglIisUAnE6DsfdVH0B9aQ32BSOQJjB4CcglakjqRJfaiT8wC_EyVu20/s1600-h/Here+4-7.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5079750812729446386" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8WT1On7scyJ4T5ppGLWEq1e14xuhuh6IqQ8NmH7htX5SeBK1s-tu7n6GfJ_9GK7CUPUblH0_9YVqpWDhqex0uglIisUAnE6DsfdVH0B9aQ32BSOQJjB4CcglakjqRJfaiT8wC_EyVu20/s400/Here+4-7.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL82Tp4Vu001e4nJKKXZdIJRziZ4J6055WR6l2loJhMYUGlct-qxXlM48ixAsroMY-aJDaDmBLfCr9HTSY4ydXo8w2kDQTvl2tC-iQSPUUZZcCQegUo07aOrK1mJSaxl0q2R431KM_Gzk/s1600-h/Here+5-7.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5079750894333825026" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL82Tp4Vu001e4nJKKXZdIJRziZ4J6055WR6l2loJhMYUGlct-qxXlM48ixAsroMY-aJDaDmBLfCr9HTSY4ydXo8w2kDQTvl2tC-iQSPUUZZcCQegUo07aOrK1mJSaxl0q2R431KM_Gzk/s400/Here+5-7.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2gIu4w6lXhIRfaCH2SWzAzfagwMVHE6U3bmfY4oPJEjeoWa-C4pXjHivStQjpHzZw1Ukhncp8S9lrN0h_DTL0h-tPwLgEgvHqQe09LDL6alMOD6-56C-wjFmJ5AiTAnxk1Ur2dwzY3hQ/s1600-h/Here+8-7.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5079750984528138258" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2gIu4w6lXhIRfaCH2SWzAzfagwMVHE6U3bmfY4oPJEjeoWa-C4pXjHivStQjpHzZw1Ukhncp8S9lrN0h_DTL0h-tPwLgEgvHqQe09LDL6alMOD6-56C-wjFmJ5AiTAnxk1Ur2dwzY3hQ/s400/Here+8-7.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe3AOwgtv5zzv2_LRVotkEk1hMu52BCRkyCehAc8HgKxNrx8YgAzfUscEL78UokDORpqM1KJpbOkXo4fwZiMHjNVVrs_iBhVowfe-praT-OX8J0zbsjFgZgvZ5We4z5T5RJJ7wbcRvnrA/s1600-h/Here+7-7.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5079751104787222562" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe3AOwgtv5zzv2_LRVotkEk1hMu52BCRkyCehAc8HgKxNrx8YgAzfUscEL78UokDORpqM1KJpbOkXo4fwZiMHjNVVrs_iBhVowfe-praT-OX8J0zbsjFgZgvZ5We4z5T5RJJ7wbcRvnrA/s400/Here+7-7.jpg" border="0" /></a></div></div></div>Scott & Melissa Davishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14677314201815327474noreply@blogger.com4
