Pleasant surprise

I was able to watch a precious video of the children at our little one's orphanage today.

I can not tell you what a pure blessing that was to this mommy's heart!

Chloe was in there quite a bit. I was able to hear her sweet little voice and watch her 

interact with the other beautiful children around her. It was so precious. She just picked up

her little dress and seemed slightly shy. Her tiny feet were attempting to walk in some very over sized

pink slippers. She looked happy. I can't say I saw her smile yet but she still looked very happy...

UNTIL

We saw her in a few more minutes after she was clearly pitching a FIT in the dirt. All of the other

children had run quickly to look at themselves on the camera. She is one of the youngest and it appears that she felt like she wasn't fast enough so just just throws herself face flat into the dirt. Hands out body completely down for the count. She was devastated ( 2 year old style) Then her 

sorrow turned super two year old. One of the men attempted to pick her up to stand and she began arching her little back. We then saw that this had also made Eli cry. He was not about to let her get all of the attention. 

I can not tell you how much seeing them meant to me. I have longed for just a piece of their life. I ache to know something. The video showed a little more of where they live and also several of their precious friends. All of the children seemed so happy and full of life. It was such a reminder of how the Lord has protected these babies and how He has such an amazing plan for lives. 

In a few weeks the family that has our care package is going to be heading to Congo to pick up their little girl. I am so thrilled that Chloe and Eli will finally see our faces. It may mean nothing to them for now but it does something great to my heart just thinking about it.
