Jimmy

As most of you know Jimmy is not our legal son, but in our hearts he is as much our son as any of our boys. He is going through some really hard times right now and it's hard for us to know he is suffering and there isn't much we can do to help.


He is no longer employed. He is trying to get a visa to come visit but money is tight for everyone. If we can get him here to the states he can take the tests necessary to get into college. He would need to return to Haiti in order to get a student visa but could return and get his degree. His dream is to return to Haiti and do something to make a difference for his country. He wants to get married, raise a family and live in Haiti.


We love Jimmy and really want to help him make this dream a reality. The hard part is knowing when to help and when not to. Money is always a factor for us. We are horrible at managing it!! We know that the majority (if not, ALL) our financial difficulties are because of us. not the economy. not the job market. not the government. US! We are working on changing that. Working within a budget. Working with God's help to be good stewards of the things He gives us. The reality is we do not have the financial resources to help Jimmy. We do not know how he will get here. We do not know how tuition can be paid for. We do not know where the money for his ticket will come from. HOWEVER, we do know that if it is God's will, it will happen. God will provide the funds. We have open and willing hearts, we have the space for Jimmy. We want to be here for him the way his birth family isn't able to be. We are trusting that God has Jimmy in the palm of His hand. We are trusting the God will open doors and close others as needed. God is in the paving business, we just have to give Him the space necessary to to the paving.
