I haven’t blogged in a while. It’s so difficult to put all of my feelings
down on paper. My mind is constantly
spinning these days. I am thankful for
the reprieve of work. It gives me a few
hours where my mind is less likely to wander to the helpless state I so often
find it in.
I grieve for the orphan.
It is so hard and so consuming to have all of these precious faces
circulating through your mind constantly. There are so many beautiful children who need families to love and cherish them. I love to
be a voice for them. My heart cries out
for them. I am beyond thankful for the
opportunities that I am given. We got to
hang out with the staff of Chosen & Dearly Loved (the organization that
gave us a matching grant allowing us to bring home Greyson and Kristyn). They listened to our story and documented
some moments with our family. We are
praying that this inspires more people to adopt and others to support them
financially. A former youth group
student, who is now a youth pastor himself, has given us another opportunity to
share our hearts. His church is doing a
series on adoption and he has invited us to come and speak to his youth
group. I love that God is giving us so
many opportunities to share!!
I will continue to scream from the mountain tops what a
blessing adoption is! However, once you’ve
adopted there is no going back. There is
no “unknowing”. I know what an orphan
is. I’ve seen them, touched them, held
them, and cried for them. There are 6
amazing chosen children running through my house, stopping for hugs, and
begging to be picked up and held and kissed.
They just want to be LOVED!
PLEASE pray for those kiddos waiting! PLEASE search your heart and think about how
you can be involved! God asks us to care
for the orphan. Can you pray? Can you give?
Can you serve? Can you adopt?
Here are just a handful of the MILLIONS that wait...
