Several months ago I told you all The Story of Baby Joseph.
From the first time those big eyes stared straight into mine, Joseph had my heart.
When I left Zimbabwe in 2007, Joseph was just a few months old. He had already proven incredible strength, just by surviving.
I wanted to bring him home, so very very much, but I left believing that God had given him a hope and a future, and had placed him right where he wanted him.
Because, really, that overwhelming love I have for him, his heavenly father and creator loves him about a billion times more.
Seeing that smile was worth every minute of working and planning and every cent that went into this trip.
Needless to say, this boy still holds a piece of my heart.
Joseph may only be four, but I saw in him quiet strength and undeniable joy. And now, more than ever, I believe God will use Joseph in great ways.
p.s. Part of your support has gone towards paying for Joseph's school fees. I may be biased but I think you all made a great investment.

That's a lot of love.
Because I do not have the words to describe how I felt, lets just say I was really excited about seeing Joseph.
And when I finally laid my eyes on him, I couldn't believe that I had survived four years without this boy.
Seeing Joseph and his mom both healthier and happier was such and answer to prayer.

That first photo... I remember the first time I saw it, those eyes, that face, unforgettable... I can see why he captured your heart, and then, to have spent time with him, even more so!
He is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is something about his sweet face, those eyes, that joy, his precious smile... melts me like butter! I'm SO glad he and his mamma are doing well, and that the Lord has continued to protect this young man. He'll do great things!
