When Sarah and her brother, Joseph were born, they were born to a poor woman who died due to childbirth. Both Sarah and her brother Joseph had severe Kwashiorkor Malnutrition and they came from mountains far, far away. A Haitian Pastor brought us both children in one day and even though we were already overcrowded, we made room for them.
After some time, both grew and they were healed of their malnutrition, due to good food.
We never had “teenage problems” with Joseph, but Sarah (who was always big for her age) was always trying to squeeze into her younger sister’s clothes (after I told her not to!). This happened a couple of times, so when she was in 11th grade, I sent her back to her father, but continued to pay for school for her.
While she was away, she realized the great blessings she missed. One day, she came back to visit us and asked me if we could help send her through college.
We noticed a big change in her. She was more mature and extremely thankful, so we gave her that chance.
At first, she enrolled in some “Management Courses,” but that “was not a fit.” When she came back from school one day, crying, I asked her what “her passion was.” She said, “I want to be a Beautician. I love doing hair, nails, make-up for weddings, etc.” I said, “Follow your dream and always put Jesus first!”
She is still in Beauty College and doing “nails” and “hair fashions,” and loving it!
God gave each of us a “talent” and He wants us to use it!
We love Sarah!!!
