With God, Nothing is Impossible

     Today, I commenced my time playing the role of "mother" to the Chispas house. The Chispas, if you don't recall, are the little girls. There are seven of them, ranging in ages from 18 months to 10 years. I have been a little worried about how this whole thing would go, but also excited. I am excited I have the opportunity is spend 24 hours a day, multiple days in a row, with these girls.

     Tonight was a promising beginning. Throughout dinner and while doing their chores, all the girls were extremely helpful. I'll tell you one thing, now I definitely see the benefit of putting your kids to work. These girls work hard and clean well. Every evening they mop, sweep and clean the house, as well as the bathroom and bedrooms. It is an impressive thing to behold. After cleaning, we sat down for our devotions. We read from Luke chapter 1 where the angel came to Mary. They picked up on verse 37 where it says, "For nothing will be impossible with God." We discussed that and how Mary was willing to obey God, and trusted in Him. When they went to pray (Most all of them wanted to pray, even Rosita who can't talk), they ask God to help them believe that nothing is impossible with Him.

     So now, after reading a bit of Stuart Little, each little girl is tucked neatly in her bed, and I thought I would post a picture I took of them. I presumed that you would like to see my girls.
