A little girl at the church I attend in Scranton is simply adorable. She has her mom's big, green eyes and the most adorable face ever. Her name is Vida. Her dad is spanish... so imagine green eyes and spanish skin and blonde hair. Yeah, THAT cute. Anyway, her parents chose to name her Vida... how beautiful! Every time I see her or think of her, I am reminded of the life that I have. It's so sweet and precious. Every day I wake up is another day for my life... praise the Lord.
Therefore, today, despite the 33 mile an hour winds and the feeling of being in a hurricane wherever I walk, I have been given another day to find joy in life.
My peanut reminds me of life... we jumped up and down today, singing songs, playing the piano, french braiding her hair, talking about her new baby brother or sister who will be here soon, and getting m+m's for going potty. hahaha... "Vida" encompasses her very essence.
School is almost over... just over 2 weeks until I go home. then, I'll be in villages holding little brown hands and playing with little brown children whose every fiber contains vida...
How wonderful, wish i was going to the DR with you..... Have a wonderful time.... i know you will.... Jessica , here on the island is from Ohio and is a Nanny, she reminds me of you so much... She loves kids....Loves Jesus too..
