When I got to work yesterday morning, Karen and Dorian were not here. They had gone to the hospital to try to stop labor, but at 10, my dad called and said they could not stop labor, but the baby was breech, so they did a c-section. At that point, I gathered the staff and all of the children and told them that Karen was going to have the baby now, and that we all needed to pray for her health and for the baby's health. We all gathered in a circle and held hands. I prayed first, and allowed everyone else in the room who wanted to pray.
All but one or two kids wanted to pray, even little Josue wanted to pray for his mommy Karen. When Dilcia, one of our employees prayed, she cried and cried with worry for the baby and for her dear friend Karen. Each child said the most heart felt prayer. After they were done, it was obvious that many were very worried about the situation. Some were reserved and quiet, yet others were just plain ornery with their nerves. When we received news that Korbin was born and he and Karen were healthy, everyone cheered.
Even this morning, I did a project where the kids wrote things they were thankful for, and they all wrote that they were thankful that Korbin was healthy.
