I've been asked by many people if I have received any more girls, and why haven't I received any more girls. I wondered myself for a while, and I was surprised. Some friends of mine opened a home for children with special needs in August, and in the first 6 weeks they received 8 children.
As I think about it, I am glad we didn't receive children that quickly. I wanted to stay with Marcela in the hospital, and make sure she was okay. It would have been very difficult (though do-able) to accept new girls. I think God knew I needed to be there with her. I have received a few phone calls, but none of the children were girls with special needs.
When we first opened, I travelled around to 5 different children's judges offices to let them know about our home. Now I feel like it is time to let more people know about us.
Tomorrow the social worker and I will travel to four different provinces to present our home to the judges, so they know who we are and what we do.
Please be praying for our safety as we travel. Please pray for Marcy as she stays home with the nanny.
Please be praying for the next girls to come. I know they are out there, they just need to find us. I'm excited to see who God brings to us next. Will it be a baby? A cute little toddler? A big 9 year old? I don't know! But it will be exciting to welcome the next member of our family. :)
