"Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from Him. Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior's hand. How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them." Psalm 127:3-5

Update (Long Overdue)

I just realized that I never updated my blog about my missing kids. No worries. All is well. It turns out that their bus was late. Their contact person's phone was dead. So, they got a room at the hotel near the bus stop. It turns out that while we were worrying, they were sound asleep in a soft bed for the first time in two weeks. They didn't even know that they were missing. :) The next day at church the guest speaker mentioned the situations, said that they were found, and said, "God is good." They funny thing is, when I posted on facebook that they were "found" I almost typed the same thing, "God is good." But I didn't. God is good all the time, not just when things turn out the way I want them to. God would still be good even if they were still missing or worse. Through this situation we were given the opportunity to bless someone in the same country where we thought my children were missing. When I got to church a few hours after they were located, I saw a photo of a child under my chair. It turns out, he was a child from Mozambique and he needed a sponsor. How could I say no? I don't think it was a coincidence that my children were traveling through his country just the day before. Meet Esturo. He is 13 and lives in Mozambique less than 200 miles from Carmen's sponsor child in Malawi.
