Prayers, Love and Haiti

If you can remember those three words...please keep Love Woodshaina in your Prayers as she is my compassion child from Haiti.

Love lives on the plains of La Biche, the nearest major city is Cayes. She is west of Port-au-Prince, the capitol, where the earthquake caused the most damage.

You can read the latest news on the earthquake here.

Just yesterday I was in my account on the Compassion website, I was paying my monthly sponsorship money and writing letters to both of my girls. I realized that there was an updated picture of Love. I will share it with blogland when I receive my copy in the mail. She has grown so much. The first picture (the one with her in the red dress) was taken back in the beginning of 2008 and this new one was taken in the beginning of this year, so she is two years older in the latest picture. I almost did not recognize her in the new picture, I even contacted Compassion to make sure there wasn't a mistake. They were able to pull up all of the information and determine that it was in fact the same child and after I reviewed the pictures side by side I realized that it was in fact Love. I realized why she looked so different, not only was she taller but she was beaming and standing with her head held high. I love the new picture of her. I can not wait to hear that she and her family are okay. I still pray I get the chance to meet her one day.
Her 6th birthday will be March the 3rd.

If you feel called to sponsor a child go here, maybe one in Haiti needs you right now.

I was so impressed... the first thing Keith said when we saw the coverage was, "Isn't that where Love is from?"

We're praying.

Oh, that warms my heart to know that Keith remembered that was where Love is from. She is such a precious girl and I can't stop praying that she and her family are okay. Compassion emailed and said they would keep us updated on everything and let us know as soon as they could if our children were okay. I don't believe Love lives close to where much damage was caused (just by looking at the maps) but there are some Compassion projects that are in the main quake area, so those def. need prayer...as does the entire island really.

Lindsey,
I hope and pray that Love is okay and that you will hear from Compassion soon. It is just terrible what has happened.
Keep me posted as I continue to pray for all in Hati.
