Hope whispers, "Don't Give Up!"

Above the doors at Casa there are signs that read: "Through this door, Hope begins..." Hope is all these kids have.

"To eat bread without hope is still slowly to starve to death." -Pearl S. Buck

I am completely overloaded right now and have way too much to say. I live in a house where I have to keep my shampoo on the top shelf in a closet instead of the shower because of licensing regulations. I have to keep my advil in a locked box. Any time I want to use an outlet I have to pull the little plastic safety device out first, and there are no locks on any doors except to outside. I can hear the kids downstairs screaming and laughing. I want to run down and scoop them up and kiss them all over.

I have already heard enough stories to make you cringe and bawl and make you want to slap these kids' parents silly. These kids truly need love in the purest form. I know God's heart has just been breaking for them.

There are six kids in my house. They range from 17 months to 3 years old. They are the cutest kids in the world. The house is complete wonderful chaos all the time. I am definitely home.
