My Family, Haiti, Farmers, and Ships

How can my family, Haiti, farmers, and ships have anything in common.  I'll tell you if want to read just a little further.  I'll try and keep it short.  It all starts 9 years ago, where my twin girls were born....Haiti.  Seeing what the Haitian people are going through, seeing what the Haitian children are going through....my heart aches for the people and more for the children. The children who have no home, no family, no father, and no mother brings floods of memories and emotions from our adoption of our twins.  Like others, our girls have a story of their own...and thankfully it's a miraculous one. Anytime a child is saved from starvation and death and given a chance it is a miraculous story that only God can get the glory for.  Which brings me to the farmers and the ships.  There is a mission in Lake Charles that sends it's ship(s) to disaster areas with food, medical care, and people with purpose of carrying out God's plan.  We've walked upon those ships.  They, too, have a story of their own and a great one.  Here is their site if you want to read more....
