Yesterday I spent most of
the morning packing so I would have the rest of the day free for our planned
activities. I left my room to take some clothes to a nanny, she wasn’t in her
house but I saw Junette coming down the stairs from her house in this dress
that was so little I could see her underwear peeking out from under her dress :
)
I told her she needed a
new dress so I took Junette to the depot and let her pick out a dress. She
choose a pretty purple print with a little lace and then we picked dresses for
the other two girls in her house (we have an over abundance of pillow case
dresses).
After we picked out the
dresses she told me she needed a new swimsuit, which she did, so we picked out
a brand new swimsuit together.
After all that I was
thinking that I hadn’t been able to spend a lot of time with Junette and that I
didn’t have any pictures with Junette (or her house sister WaWane). So at the
beach I told Junette and WaWane, “Mwe bezwen foto avek ou” (I need a photo with
you). For some reason WaWane didn’t come over but I got a couple photos with
Junette, I also took a random photo of her and Loveda eating almonds. I believe
God blessed me with those photos. He knew what I didn’t and knew I needed to
take those pictures, He gave me the gift of that morning with Junette. It’s
possibly a bit morbid but as I thought about our morning in the depot picking
out a new dress and swimsuit it made me think of The Christmas Shoes, “…I want
her to look beautiful if mama meets Jesus tonight.” Junette looked beautiful
yesterday when she met Jesus.

Where's your smile Junette?
Can't imagine the smile she had on her face as she met Jesus, the ultimate adoption completed
