World, meet Jomel-in
my personal opinion-one of
the coolest kids you might ever meet.
 
 
 
To be honest, I don’t really know much about Jomel’s past… where he came from or even how long he has been
here, although I know it has been at least two years. I also know that he is twelve years old and has no siblings. 

Jomel often finds himself smack in the middle of the “older
boys” and the “younger boys” groups, changing his demeanor depending on
who he is with. While with the younger boys, goofy, fun-loving Jomel comes out.
When with the older boys, he tends try and fit-in more, which usually
translates into a bit of attitude, a dash of egotism, and a handful of
defiance. But behind the cool-kid exterior is the same sweet Jomel, who just
wants to fit in a bit.   

Jomel has one of the best smiles I have ever seen. He tries
hard not to, but eventually he gives in and the huge grin comes out, often
followed by a great giggle/laugh that tends to be pretty contagious!

Although he eats about the same as the other boys his age,
Jomel doesn’t have an ounce of fat on his body! Skinny is a rail, he’s always
pulling up on his pants so they don’t fall down while running around. He loves
to play basketball with the rest of the boys, and also loves to watch basketball
games, one of the few who really focuses and understands what is going on.

Jomel is a smart boy, currently in grade two at our community
school. From what I can tell, Jomel is a thinker… he rarely speaks before
thoroughly thinking out his answers-you can see the wheels spinning in his head
as he contemplates his response. He tends to be analytical and logical in his
responses and actions, rarely acting out of passion or emotion. He also tends
to be a very go-with-the-flow, laid back personality.

This week, please keep Jomel in your prayers. Pray for him as he is
gradually becoming his own person, independent of the people he spends his time
with. Pray that God would already be preparing a home for Jomel with two
parents that love him, and pray that Jomel would grow closer to God with a
greater understanding of who He is.
