Em Downey: September 2013
http://www.emdowney.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Pablo Picasso. Friday, September 20, 2013. I'm sitting on the concrete ground, outside the doctors' offices, at MediShare. I'm hot and not amount of fanning helps. I've been here for nearly 6 hours, and I'm ready to go home. We're here waiting to see a team of neurosurgeons. I have two hydrocephalous babies with me and three helpers: one adult and two teenage girls. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Help Support my Adventures in Haiti!

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Pablo Picasso. Tuesday, April 22, 2014. There Are Pleasures Forevermore. Walking through that season forced me to trust God had not abandoned me or Gerald, that God would demonstrate His glory in His timing, and that there is joy available even in the seasons when it seems joy is entirely absent: missing in action!

Em Downey: March 2013
http://www.emdowney.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Pablo Picasso. Friday, March 8, 2013. But in reality, this was a dream come true. A dream that was six months in the making. A dream that for a little while seemed like a distant reality. One that I recently had turned over to God saying, "I am out of ideas.". Less then a week ago, I was connected with a team of urologists that were coming to Haiti to do surgeries in the plateau region of Haiti. The exact. With our surgeon 2 days after surgery).

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Pablo Picasso. Saturday, January 18, 2014. Yesterday I spent the morning in a place that I feel both drawn to and repulsed by. Most people just feel the repulsed part of that, but insane as it is, there is a big piece of me that can’t ignore the tugging at my heart when I’m there. I know it’s not actually the place itself, it’s the people there. Canal full of trash, rancid water, and sewage. So then why would I ever care to go to Cite Soliel? And, ...

Em Downey: August 2013
http://www.emdowney.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Pablo Picasso. Sunday, August 4, 2013. I just want to love them for always. Zip, repeat. When I was starting to think my hands couldn't do it anymore, I thought of the families who would get to eat, and reminded myself that my momentary discomfort was nothing, nothing at all. While I was in the the middle of taking photo after photo for children who called, "You! Did they eat today? Sometimes, when we go to do these things, our efforts seem so smal...

Em Downey: November 2013
http://www.emdowney.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Pablo Picasso. Tuesday, November 19, 2013. You see, the truth is, I’m not. I wake up grumpy and irritable and when guests ask me questions at breakfast, I usually have to take a deep breath and put on a smile and try to be polite, when inside I am saying, “I just want to drink my coffee.” I get annoyed with the roosters, all the time. None of that really seems amazing to me. But we’re not really talking about the same thing, are we? Blessed with th...

Em Downey: July 2013
http://www.emdowney.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Pablo Picasso. Saturday, July 13, 2013. Add to those thoughts, and healthy dose of fear of what will happen to my beloved orphaned children when I can't fix these things for them. What if I can't eventually love them enough, or get them the right surgery, or teach them enough. What if after I have given my best, they don't live better lives? Or even worse, what if my best somehow makes their life worse? But that doesn't mean I don't want to make it...
