Sunday we headed into down town to attend one of our favorite churches, pastored by a fellow professor and one of the men Matt is dong his master's studies with. It was a GREAT service, and Lily slept through the entire 2.5 hours, much to our delight! She was wearing a bright pink dress and silver slippers, but nonetheless the special music was dedicated sincerely to "Brother Lily." We've got to get some stick-on earrings or something for this girl! It was so special to be so welcomed here and to see so many people excited to have their prayers for a healthy baby answered.
It is looking like Matt may be leaving us for two weeks in March after all, to join our three Haitian brothers for residency at Wesley Biblical Seminary. It will be their first time in the States, and Matt could use the 6 credits. He has to do three more of these 2-week residencies, so we are thinking that he should perhaps do them sooner rather than later with Lily still being so young. We're not for sure yet...please be praying with us as we try to discern the Lord's leading in this decision!

You are so right! Earrings WOULD convince the Haitians that Frere Lily is indeed a bel ti fi. Praying for all you guys down there! Mishlers
ReplyDelete"Brother" Lily looks darling in her pink dress and I LOVE the shoes! How wonderful of her to sleep through the entire service and how very sweet of them to dedicate special music to her. This healthy baby girl was a true answer to prayer and we in the state take that for granted sometimes; The Haitians did not forget, just another way the Haitians continue to teach me things.
ReplyDeleteGo ahead and give the stick on earrings a try.
Praying for Matt and you as you make this schooling decision.
Love you all...
