Echoes of Haiti: Happy Week Birthday!
http://www.irenepruitt.com/2013/07/happy-week-birhday.html
Friday, July 5, 2013. Welcome to our family, beloved little one. I remember with such fondness the first time I spoke those words of welcome to you, in late September of last year. Since then, you have grown in our hearts just as you were growing in my womb. And now, finally, the time has come for us to gaze at your beautiful face and to hold your precious body in our arms. Welcome, welcome, welcome. On June 27, you were born, and today, on the Fourth of July, you are a week old. This story is one that I...

Sunday, December 2, 2012. First Sunday: Passionate Waiting. What a blessing to start the Advent season with them, and share the following Advent reflection. Today is the first Sunday of Advent, one of my very favorite seasons of the church year—the four weeks leading up to Christmas. Advent is a season that reminds us that we are a part of a story of passionate waiting. Passionate waiting for something very, very good. One of the first people who comes to mind is Mary. Today, we heard the words of the pr...

Echoes of Haiti: So loved
http://www.irenepruitt.com/2013/07/so-loved.html
Tuesday, July 16, 2013. From the time we knew we were expecting you, and even before that, we loved you. We loved the dream of you. We loved your growing, forming body. We loved feeling your kicks and squirms in my belly. We loved the knowledge that you were ours. And since your birth, we have fallen even more in love with you in ways that we couldn’t have imagined. We fell in love with your eyes, gazing steadily into ours. And your soft baby skin and even softer baby hair. Of their great grandchildren.

Echoes of Haiti: August 2012
http://www.irenepruitt.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 12, 2012. Going back and forth between Haiti and the United States often comes with a jolt. One of the first times I experienced this was when Robbie and I headed back to Virginia and South Carolina over our Christmas break last year. We had just finished our first semester of teaching and guidance counseling at Quisqueya Christian School in Port-au-Prince, and were bubbling with excitement to see our families again. Our time in the States was wonderful and refreshing. I had to chuckle to ...

Monday, December 17, 2012. Update With Not Much to Update. I haven’t blogged in a long time and here’s why. Nothing much is going on. Seriously. My friend and colleague Ben K said it very well here. Life and routines are very similar here. I teach, I grade papers, I work out, I hang with friends, I read books, I cook, normal life that I won’t bore you with. Posted by Amber Epley.

Amber's Alerts From Life in Haiti: October 2012
http://alertsfromamber.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 9, 2012. This year we haven’t done a whole lot of that. I’m not sure why exactly. Lack of motor vehicles is a big factor, but maybe we are just tired. A couple weekends ago though, we got out. The city was just too much for too long. Too much smog. Too much trash. Too much burning. Trash Too much dirt and dust and heat. Too much noise. Too much! And it was cold! Tasty dinner even without a campfire. View from the cabin early in the morning. Yes there is destruction and unimaginable pover...

Amber's Alerts From Life in Haiti: May 2012
http://alertsfromamber.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 24, 2012. I have the whine-virus this week and it’s starting to get to me. Being back in the states last weekend messed up my groove. I experience fast internet, reliable electricity, and the all-around awesomeness of predictable first-world life. But this week has kinda sucked. If you are a blog “skimmer” and haven’t been reading all the details above, let me sum it up for you: I’ve been a big, smelly, whiner all week long.). This isn't a "pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps" self-speech, ...
