The One with Death and Life.

A couple weeks ago, a little girl ended up on our porch. 
      She had the face of an angel and was suffering beyond what I could imagine. 
   She was very malnourished and straining to breath. 
           I gave her some milk and the caretaker money to get her to the hospital right away. 
     She went to the hospital but it was too late. 
  She died that night. 
            This beautiful child of God was only 4 years old. 

We can't always save everyone that ends up on our porch
          and this reality breaks my heart. 

      [But I know she is dancing with Jesus 
                  and that is far better than anything this planet has to offer.]

There is hope in salvation. 
        Without the cross, there is nothing. 
     Living in Haiti is a constant reminder of that.
 I don't know how people live without eternal hope.  

The exciting thing is there are some people the Lord allows us to help save. 
     Like baby Dabens - aka "David". 
   He came to us at 3 months old weighing 3 pounds. 
 He surpassed the odds of death and is now 5 months old. 
Watching him grow and seeing Jesus at work in his tiny life has been such a joy and blessing! 
    God must have big plans for this child! 


When Dabens first came to us at 3 months.
Now, at 5 months. He looks like a cute, healthy baby! 



Before Jean Fritz could only look at Dabens. 

Now, he gets to hold him- something he LOVES!

  2. as always Michelle I love to read your love stories of hope....and YES Jesus needed to dance with the little girl...but first for some reason HE needed you to see, touch and love on her as HE has called you to do, for such a time as this even how brief it may be....someday she will come running to you with open arms to love on you for all you have done to her family ther in HAITI...praying, sending love and excited to hear about your next GOD appointment....
