Eva has a talent for braiding hair. She can sit in front of the TV and braid her hair into a beautiful masterpiece, with no mirror! I love to see the different looks she creates for herself each day.
Lately she has been braiding anybody's hair she can... including her brothers! (they are good sports).
Eva has a lot of dreams for her future, and she is beginning to set goals for herself. One dream she has is to be able to go back to Ethiopia one day and build a large house, big enough for families to live together in if they have no place to live. She also wants to have a "clothes closet" for the kids so that everyone has a pair or shoes... she wants to have a daycare and school on her property so parents can go to work and the kids have a safe place to stay. She wants the kids to have enough food so they won't be hungry. She really has so many details thought out!
Eva has been thinking about ways to start making money and saving up for this dream, and thinks she might like to start a hair braiding business. The other day Eva said to me, "Mom, I'm blessed, aren't I? God has a plan for me because he brought me to America and gave me opportunity." Yes, sweetie. You are blessed... and you are a blessing. We are blessed because of you.
