well i definitely hit a low point last night. I got sick and threw up till 5 am. yep really fun. So today I am taking the day off and watching movies/sleeping. I feel a lot better, but i woke up with a fever and just feel really achy and stuff. This is the normal "haiti sickness" so just please pray i get over it soon.

"Since then, you have been raised with Christ, set your mind on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died and your life is not hidden with Christ in God." -Colossians 3:1-3

  1. Dear Becca: So sorry you are feeling under the weather. I know how bad you hate to vomit. Remember Disneyworld????
    Maybe you best remember the advice your Mom gave you "Drink nothing that isn't in a bottle".
    You are in my prayers we love you very much and so proud of you, Pana

  4. Ok,I am going to try again & see if I can get my message to you. I have emailed you everyday, but because I am so stupid when it comes to computers, it hasn't gotten to you.

    Pana told you to tell your kids family stories, so here goes about Pana & your dad.

    I was spending the weekend with Pana, James & Bo when I was in high school. We were watching a scary movie & the boys were sitting with me in a recliner. Pana went down the hall and started screaming "there is a mouse in the house!" I thought she was saying "there is a man in the house" & I jumped up and pulled both boys behind the recliner. Don't know how I thought that would protect us!!! We still laugh about it!

    Just want you to know I have always been a scarcity cat & my mean sisters took advantage of it. We would go camping on weekends with mom & dad at Coffee Mill Lake. Everyone would sleep on cots under the stars except for me. Pana & the others would tell me about snakes & other things crawling up & I would be so frighten that I would sleep in the car with the windows rolled up in the summer time. It is a miracle that I survived.Ha!

    Hope you get this. I am so proud of you & what you are experiencing, but most of all, what you are giving to those babies.

    Will leave for Alaska this Monday, but remember you are in my prayer each and every day. Hope you feel all the prayers that will be said for you tomorrow at my church.
    Love you, Aunt Carolyn

  5. I am so sorry this is my first post! I have not had internet access until now, so this was my first time to read through all of your entries. My facial expressions have ranged from laughing hysterically out loud to tears streaming down my face! Becca, I can't even imagine what you are getting to experience in Haiti! I can tell through your entries that the Lord has already begun His wonderful works. I know that His intention for you there is far beyond anything we could possibly imagine. I pray that you will continue to get to experience His purpose for you as He challenges and blesses you daily. It is so good to get a few little brief action shots and descriptions of your day to day. I have no doubt that you are thriving in your element! There is no young lady more perfect for what you are getting to do! He is so good with that! I so wish I could see a little webcam of you with those babes. I am so sorry that you have been sick. I know that you must have been so miserabe and uncomfortable. I'm glad that you are feeling better and will be praying for strength and energy to be renewed! Press on dear friend, your courage and leap of faith is bringing glory to His kingdom! I am so proud of you and blessed to get to see even through your blog what God is doing. So encouraging to read about. Know that I am praying for you every time I think about you multiple times a day. I love you very much and know that you are being taken care of!

    in His sufficient grace,
    Kara
