Sarah… “Don’t Hide Your Talent.”

Sarah will be graduating this coming week from her first year in Beauty College! This is her passion! She has another year to go!

Sarah and her brother, Joseph, came to us when they were both small. Both had Kwashiorkor Malnutrition. Their mother had died in childbirth.

Sarah had always been a good student, and two years ago, she signed up for a college of Administration. After several months, she came home to the orphanage, crying… and crying hard. She said, “Mom, I can’t do this. This is not me…”

I said, “Sarah, what do you love to do?”

“Manicures and hair! I love it, and I’m good at it!”

I said, “Sarah, in life, God gives us a talent. That is your passion. You must not hide the talent that God gave you! Go to Beauty College!! Get a job, “doing what you love,” and you will always be happy!” With tears in her eyes, I gave her a hug!

Later, when I went to the States, I thought I should get a manicure. While talking to the girl doing my nails, I pull out my phone and said, “This is one of our Haitian daughters! She is learning to do nails and hair braids…”
The lady just stared at my phone and the pictures for a while, shaking her head. She, “Wow!!! She is very, very good! Wow!!!”

Sarah will be going back to college in October!

This is a lesson for everyone. Follow the talent God has given you, and you will always be happy!

We are so proud of Sarah.
