Monday was a busy day......

(this was written Monday, but not sent til now!!LOL!)

I really don't know if that is good or bad.....Monday's that are busy, tend to mean the ENTIRE week is going to be crazy! With Luke leaving the 17th (til the 26th) for China ministry, I am thinking that it will be crazy!

Our 15yr old gave birth yesterday (3.14)!! yup! you read that correctly! totally unexpected as she had been given three different due dates by three different doctors!! but when baby is ready, nature will take it's course! The baby boy is healthy and quite a handsome little fellow.....she asked us to name him.....so thinking of a name now.

A previous mom, who we had talked to via phone, but when she was to come to visit us, her boyfriend found her first and beat her up (don't get me started on that!!). Well she called the hotline Sunday night LATE to say she had her baby and can we talk with her. She has left the hospital, but is at a friends house. She can't go home with a baby, though she wants to keep it. *sigh* we have no single mom home for her to stay, she can't get much gov't support, she has NO family/friend support for the baby....her and boyfriend split up......her choice seems to be leading towards adoption. But really, these types of things, it is hard!! We meet with her today.

While I was at the hospital with 15yr old, Wuli met with a student....yup a 12th grader, who is 5 months pregnant. Wuli was pretty upset when talking about it. This young girl comes from a single parent family, rarely lives at home, well hasn't most of her highschool life. She weighs roughly 90lbs AT 5months pregnant. She doesn't get 3 meals a day. She asked if we would let her work....when asked why she felt she needed to work she said "how am I supposed to eat then?". She was concerned about working so she could feed herself!!! Wuli assured her SHE WOULD HAVE 3 MEALS and SNACKS while at our place. Oh, somethings just makes you sad. She still feels that the boyfriend will marry her. So, this is so important!! work!!

Our little premie is at 2.8lbs!!!YEAH!! looking good!! so so so happy! God is blessing.

I do have a request, there is a VERY special needs 3yr old boy that is laying in a nursing home. There is no home in our county for special needs children. This boy needs a home. He does not speak, we are getting him a walker so he can get out of bed, but he is normally in a stroller or bed (I visited twice, but it was just too hard!). He is not on oxygen, but on a feeding tube. I can find out any information necessary. But please, if you know of a family who is willing to adopt an EXTREMELY special needs boy, please let me know and we will see what we can do.

Ok, this post was done at two different times. It has been busy today!! please keep us in your prayers.
