mia

I've been wanting to write about this picture for some time. I think this picture really doesn't need any words in the first place so I'll just share my thoughts about it.

I look at this picture and I think it just says "Haiti". That's it. That's all you need right there.

However I think it's very ironic that I caught Mia in this pose. I look at this picture and think, this is not the typical Mia that I know. She has attitude, spunk, confidence, energy, and can never sit still when there is music playing. That's just it, people looking in from the outside would just see this quiet girl keeping to herself but if you go meet her your life is suddenly filled with color and energy, just like the country of Haiti. This is how the world views Haiti, black & white, depressing...but I ask you to look closer and to call her by name.

If you are willing this is what you might find.

Thank you Megan!!

Jeremy always says and has always said, "Mia is so full of life." I praise God that He has given her to us, to love, to nuture, to teach her His ways. I pray He gives us the wisdom to mold her into the woman God created her to be. We love you, Mia, our chosen child!!

Hi Megan! I am Elisabeth, Gretchen's daughter. I saw you commented on Michelle's blog about an interesting post. I thought i might check it out. And you are so right! Haiti (and Mia) are both full out color, music, & smiles! Although Haiti is a sad place Haitians make the best of it, and know that the Lord is with them. I love it! Thanks!
