These two videos are TOTALLY DIFFERENT!!! The only reason I am singing in the first one, is because Luca would not sing without me. I love how Luca can sing an entire song with one note!!! :-) Amazing... lol... I recorded this a couple months ago, but with the Selah concert this past weekend, it reminded me to upload it...
The second video... Well this is the REAL DEAL!!! Selah did a benefit concert for God's Littlest Angels Orphanage this past weekend. IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!! We listen to Selah around here ALL THE TIME... So, when we were in Haiti a few weeks ago, Jonas had a really hard time going to bed the first couple of nights. Ruth, our babysitter, decided to bring him downstairs, wrap him up in a blanket, and put on Selah. IT WORKED!!!
So, the day of the concert, I told Selah the story and Amy wanted to sing to him. Before the concert, when I did not have my camera, she sang to him and he was COMPLETELY STILL THE ENTIRE SONG!!!!!! He did not move a muscle... It was also completely silent in the room where she was singing...
After the concert, she found him and sang to him. It was not not as quiet so he did not respond as well, but you will hear how COMPLETELY ANGELIC her voice is!
Really, I sound AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL, compared to Amy!!!!!!!!!!!!! So please, do not compare my singing to hers!!!! Really, I sound much better in the shower... lol... :-)
Hands That Heal got some amazing PR today... Hopefully this will cause some more awareness of the need to help within our community. God always provides in mysterious ways!!!
Linda Jackson did a great job editing our 45 minute conversation. HTH was prominent and that was my hope! This ministry has nothing to do with me, but all to do with the people of Haiti needing help, and how God provides in the most miraculous ways!!!
I may change my mind, I do this often, but I no longer feel comfortable going private... I am not a person who lives in fear. I need to be sensible and smart, but not fearful. I will not be posting much or any about Chun Yan until we have our official LID (Log In Date).
Nothing bad happened, we were just given good, sound advice from our agency that we need to not put a lot up about her until we have our LID... If I had known before, I would not have posted some things, but I did not know, and I don't want to feel like I have done anything wrong: I HAVEN'T!!!! To me making the blog private would be hiding something, and I have nothing to hide... :-)
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self–discipline." 2 Timothy 1:7
This blog has helped a lot of families out there raising children with special needs and I want to be "easy to find" and not private.
So, anyway...There ya have it... I am no longer going private! :-)
Thanks to those of you that wrote and wanted to follow us privately... If I decide to change my mind again... :-) I still have your e-mails...
I am an artist, photographer, adjunct art professor, wife, mother to 5 amazing children, special needs advocate, and I am extremely passionate for the people/children of Haiti.
This is a blog about how my family, through FAITH, has moved, and are moving mountains of disabilities (blindness, spina bifida, & cerebral palsy), adoption, and everyday life. This will give you a glimpse of what our family is doing, and has done to overcome mountains with insurmountable odds. I hope you enjoy this blog and are encouraged by my five amazing children, and how they live life to the fullest with their different and special abilities.
