Reunion
Today was good.
It started off with me in bed and making the decision to sleep in ...since I haven't had a day off since last week, and won't untill this friday...so I thought to myself..."sleep all day as long as it's sunday"
So, content with my new found freedom of decision making...
I snuggle back into my pillow and wrap myself gracefully with my sheet...(it's hot here)..
but then a half hour later I wake up unable to go back to sleep...I keep thinking of wayne...christopher....amber....heather...gregory...james.....matthew...oneil....joelle..jay...anthony...okay..okay I am getting up...somehow I am unable to sleep in past 7:45 in the morning now...
So I get up, shower, straighten my hair...and then It's off to the buses at 8:15...
As I am gathering kids, kicking one off the bus for jabing knives into all the sodas and spreading pop everywhere...I look over and see my dear Eduardo..then I see Rosa..and to my delight...LEVI(pronounced Le'vee) My dear dear Levi!!!
I haven't seen this family for like 4 months now.
I pray continually for me to some how see them again...(they no longer live at the Union Rescue mission...they got kicked out...and I had no idea where they were living..no way to get in contact with them)
But here they are!!
They brought their two little sisters, Donna, and Dianne...
1 and 3 years old.
I couldn't believe the change I saw in both Rosa and Levi.
They both were so attentive to their little sisters..Levi actually wiped Donna's snotty nose twice with his bare fingers...They loved each other so much....
and Rosa sat by me on the way back from church...she used to curse at me and swing punches every chance she got...now, she said she wants to come stay the night at the Dream Center and see where I live...she was all hesitant at first but warmed up super fast and started asking me all these questions....OH!!! You have no idea what this means to me.
If I could make a difference in just her life...in just her and levi's life....all this is worth it. If I knew they were the only two kids that I could save from a life of lies, pain, and destruction....I still would have come 1,000 miles to live here....just for them. I love those kids.
All I have to say is that I am sooo glad I did not sleep in this morning.
Oh and Levi helped pass out the pop on the bus...just like good old times...
Man I missed those kids...
I got their number and I am going to pay for them to go to a movie with me...
This is an answer to prayer.
