Dancing to a Different Beat


It has been so long since I have blogged.  My life has picked up speed.  One could say that the tempo to the beat has doubled time.  Let me explain.
First let me share a little history to this story.  Five years ago we took in our home a little Haitian girl with burns on nearly 1/2 her body.  The other half doctors used for donor skin to graft.  The poor little 2 year old was sore from head to toe.  Her bandage changes and therapy would take so long to accomplish that often Doug and I would tag team.  He would take one side and I would take the other.  She stayed in our home for 7 months.  God stretched our faith in ways we never thought imaginable. 
Today we have that same little girl back in our home, and God is still teaching us to rely on Him.  She is an incredible young girl.  We are so blessed to serve her. 
I sometimes wonder at the burden that it will be once again to let her go.  The sadness that will come will be a force to tackle.  But today the beat is fast and fun.  Today we dance with the Lord's dance of service.  I love you Lord.  I love this little child!  Life is fantastically challenging and wonderful.  I am in awe!
