Sending HOPE to HAITI

ATTENTION:

....we need your donations!

My friend, Brittany, is going to Haiti with her husband and mother in law on Friday. The two pictures on the right are overwhelming. Click on the one with the children to read about her personal recent experience she had over there and for ways you can help. The events have been and still are tragic and appalling and they need us! As I mentioned in my post below these perfect strangers really are our brothers and sisiters. What better time to send our love than now. Brittany and Grant leave on Friday so they will need all donations by Thursday evening. I want to make it very clear that I don't want to take any credit away from Brittany. I just want to help get the message out so they can bring those baby children as much as they possibley can. I've been in contact with my Pediatrician, Dr. Wynn, who is also helping out. Brittany and Grant are asking for a few major neccessities to keep these babies, some of whom are now orphans, alive:

Infant powder formula
Infanct/childrens tylenol, motrin, (costco bulk size)

Please to what you can. Whether you know me from reading my blog or not I will accept any calls, day or night. In the midst of such a crisis, even one bottle of formula will help ease some of the hunger of a child. Brittany will be there to see their faces when she hands them food. She will give them hugs. Too often we take for granted the power of a hug. It can be significant. A hug can make you feel connected, supported, loved. Something these children, I assume, have forgotten how to feel. A hug can break down barriers that sometimes words cannot do. It can speak more than any words can say. It especially kills me to think of these children who have lost everything and everyone they know. Their world as they know it has come crashing down. Just like that...and they are left alone. I canot even write about my feelings on this subject. simply because there just arent any words; only an overload of vehement emotions.

Please call me if you can help

Thank you Brittany and Grant for being the Lords Hands and reaching out. God Bless you on your journey. Thank you to my sister in law, Emily, who has put me in contact with Brittany and giving me this awesome opportunity to help.

Embrace your children

I'm in the middle of updating my blog and I clicked over to my friend Lindsey's for a minute. She had a link to a website that tore. me. up. It's moments like this that I feel spiritually connected to perfect strangers who really are our brothers and sisters, afterall. (which also turns my thoughts to the people, orphans, even animals in Haiti. They, too, are our family and this subject alone makes my heart sweel on levels I don't even want to write about)  Please read Natalies words. This family is welcoming our prayers...

I love my family and my children and the gospel! It is undeniabley true and I am moved by Natalies testimony through her words. I'm painfully devastated for this family and mother. As I look at my own life, I reflect on the struggle it was to get my daughters here on earth and how my life has changed since then. My heart is grieving for this family yet at the same time I feel peace throughout; my body temperature actually feels warmer. A true feeling I recognize from my heavenly father blessing me. I cannot wait until my girls wake up. To laugh with them; to embrace them. Reading Natalie's words sure changed my day around. I am ashamed in myself  for getting upset this morning about having dirty bottles in the sink because I was too tired to load the dishwasher last night. I feel humbled and emotionally depleted at the moment. My blog can wait; it can be updated later. I have a family I want to take care of.
