Yesterday I told you the story about Gladine when we watched Jumanji together, so today I figured we should do an older kids story. We consider our older kids to be the ones that are 12 and older and 12 out of our 19 children fall into this age range now. The truth is that […]
Over the next few days, I am going to tell you guys some of the fun, cute, and difficult stories that have happened here over the past couple of weeks. If you have kids, then you know that there could be many stories each day told about the funny things they have done or said, […]
In the last blog, I talked about why I believe job creation is the biggest physical need in Gressier, Haiti. In this blog I want to tell you some of my initial thoughts on what I believe will help, what I believe will not help, and how I feel like All Things New can get […]
If you missed the last blog, please click here and read it first. The last blog sets the tone for this one and the one to follow. I want to start out with what I feel like is the biggest spiritual need in our area of Haiti. I know that some people will disagree with […]
In the next couple of days I am going to talk about what I feel like the biggest physical need is in our area of Haiti and what I feel like the biggest spiritual need is in our area of Haiti. We have been here for a little over 2 years now, so I am […]
If you missed part 1 of this post, click here and catch up! Car Rides. This time 2 weeks ago, a car ride consisted of us buckling Sophie into her car seat with some toys, turning on the AC full blast, and pulling out onto safe, paved roads with order and actual stop lights. […]
So we are officially all in Haiti as a family! It has been a long past 7 months being apart but we are now together. We officially moved down on May 9. I am not going to lie and say things have been easy….it’s been hard….really really hard. I have had to just stop and […]
As you probably already know if you follow All Things New, our family is together in Haiti for the first time ever! When Sophie was born, we thought that we would be in Haiti by February, but we were definitely wrong. Now, however, everything is in place and Jess, Sophie, and I are finally consistently […]
I wanted to take some time now to describe my last trip to Haiti. It has been a little less than a week since I got back to the states, so I am going to describe the things that I was doing during my last trip. The main purpose of this trip was to make […]
First of all, I want to make sure to mention the upcoming Jacksonville Fundraiser. I know that the event is tomorrow (at 7:00pm at Christ’s Church Mandarin) but there is still time to sign up and come. This is a very important event in the life of All Things New, so if you live in […]
I’m sitting in the Miami airport, by myself again. I think this is the 6th time I have come to Haiti since Sophie was born, so writing this type of blog is getting old. I do have some really good news though…After a few months in the adoption finalization process and then getting other paperwork […]
Since we finished our chronological reading of the Bible a couple of weeks ago, I have picked up my personal study of the book of Acts. I just finished Acts 4 last night so I wanted to share some thoughts about the 2 chapters and how I hope they change and shape my life. In […]
