ALWAYS IN A HURRY

I have so much on my mind to do right now that I'm racing to get to the place where I can study!!!! Ever been like that.  Desiring to read my new books, desiring to prepare for Bible school but first there were dishes to do, breakfast and lunch to cook.  I'm sure you know the routine.

Olivier and Junior were blessed with new (used) bikes.  What a thrill for us to hear their shrill of excitement!  Of course, they can only ride them around the house, around and around but with Molly (the Rott) nipping at their heels they ride real fast. Clunk! a few accidents but nothing that needed our attention.

I knew it would be an early morning for them and the first thing Junior said, "Can I sweep the yard?"  That's how they earned their bikes and I let them know that their job didn't change just because they got the reward.  So, it was a blessing to hear him ask.  Now, let me preface that by saying, if they have a smooth path, the riding is easier.  It wasn't just a desire to please us with their willingness to work, it was also a desire to have a less rocky area to ride.

In Haiti, rocks are everywhere.  Our "yard" is cement but it's not the kind of cement that you may picture.  It's very rocky, sandy stuff.  Smoother than the road out in front of our house, but rocky nonetheless.

Going to add pictures before internet gives way to the clouds, we are definitely in the rainy season.  Three weeks and we say goodbye to our Haitian family and hello to our American family.  It's always bitter sweet but right now, there is so much on our plate, preaching at a revival, preaching at church, teaching Bible school, teaching at El Shaddai, closing program at ESLC, two Bible school graduations...anyone want to come and help us do all this. We sure could use it!!!

One other thing, September help.  We need teachers.  Anyone good at math?  We can use you.  How about English grammer?  We can use you.  We have two girls coming in, one for pre-school, one for kindergarten.  Does someone want to join them??  We'll make sure you have all the comforts of home, except, air conditioning, hot water, machine washed clothes, McDonald's hamburgers, let's see.........lettuce salads...I could go on but I'm really in a hurry.
Blessings and Happy Mother's Day to all mothers, grandmothers, future mothers.  God is good and a rewards those who diligently seek Him!  Being a mother brings diligent seeking of the Lord and because of that, great reward! 
Love, Carolyn
