All About Kimberli

We just love her...and the little stinker in the background!

Kimberli has been a part of our family for almost three weeks now. Both Chad and I have spent much of that time figuring out who she is and getting to know what she is all about. Here is a little of what we have learned so far.

Upon first spending time with her, she is a bit shy. But once she warms up, she is a talker. She loves her family and misses them terribly.  But she is thankful to be in a home…a real home. She is not crazy about American cooking, but eats it anyway. She loves her Honduran food of tortillas, beans, and rice. She loves chocolate, and I mean LOVES chocolate. Her favorite candy bar is Snickers. She drinks coffee in the morning with a lot of sugar. She hates vegetables, unless they are cooked in a soup. Her favorite fruit is a strawberry. Her favorite animal is a bunny. She wants a pet rat…NO WAY! She likes to do puzzles, play Candy Land, and color. Her hobbies include mopping the floors…not your average tween hobby. She gets incredibly overwhelmed with the question, “Do you need anything? Do you want anything?” She is great at correcting our Spanish, and loves to tease Chad. She loves to exercise and soccer is her favorite sport. If she could go anywhere in the world, she would go to the U.S. Her dream is to be a pediatrician. And her prayers are for the children on the streets. She loves the smell of the clothes when they come out of the dryer. In fact, she didn’t know what a dryer was until she came to our home. She loves Asher’s white and soft little feet, saying, “There are no other feet like yours Asher!” She was born in a taxi cab. She sings worship songs in the shower (we can hear her :) She loves to dance, especially when it’s for the Lord.

Kimberli is on the worship dance team at our church.

This is just some of what we have learned about Kimberli. We look forward to each day as we continue to learn more and more about this precious gift from God. Thank you for your prayers.

What a precious girl Kimberli is! And, how precious are you to absorb ALL that she is…taking the time to get to know even the smallest of details about her. I look forward to learning more about this amazing new “daughter” of yours. :)

A pediatrician is a great aspiration. God sees our hearts, He understands our dreams. I have a good friend and mentor who lived 13 years in El Salvador. In addition to their evangelism and outreach work, they adopted several native-born El Salvadorans to live with them, along with their one biological child. Their first adoptee was a girl, and she is a pediatrician today. One son is an accountant. One son is in the ministry. The list goes on. Dream big. We have a big God.

Thank you Laurie, this is great encouragement. Sometimes this can be very challenging and I wonder if we are even doing the right thing. But you’ve helped to remind me that we need to keep it all in perspective and that God is ultimately in control and we are just servants to be used by Him.
