These words were spoken to me very
recently. “You can’t save them
all!” I didn’t hesitate with my
reply and I quickly said, “I know
that but I must try to do my part.”
It wasn’t until later that I replayed these words in my mind and
wondered why am I trying to save them all as this person had observed.
Well, I am realistic, I can’t by
myself,“save them all.” In my heart, I want to. But WHY???? Why am I trying so hard to save these children. I think even a few years ago I would
not have considered doing anything that would have made my life difficult or
even uncomfortable. I mean I was
satisfied and we were making a good life for ourselves and our family. We were living comfortably, working
hard and raising our children. Everything
in our lives was going well and our plate was full.
So why? As I’ve searched myself and thought about my answer, I would
have to say in response to this question, “Aren’t we suppose to? Shouldn’t we be trying to save them
all? They are innocent children,
children in need and their lives have value.” This is what drives me forward, my passion and my heart. You cannot see the pictures of orphan
children and not step in and do something. Not everyone is called to adopt, but we are all called to
give and to pray for those in need. There is something we can do!!!
I have seen amazing things happen
when God leads you to do things you thought you could never do. He is just waiting for a willing
heart. One that says, “I will go
where you lead me. I will get out
of my comfort zone and sacrifice myself and my needs to help others.” He is patiently waiting for His people
to move. He is such an amazing and
faithful God!!!
We are currently waiting on our
home study to be completed. It is
suppose to be completed within the next week or so. Once it is complete it will be sent off for approval from USCIS and then on to our son’s country as the approval is the final form needed
to complete our dossier. Things
are going very quickly this time around and funds will be needed soon to
travel. We are currently still in
need of approximately $23,000 before we can travel to pick up our son. We are applying for grants and saving
our own money as well to reach our goal.
Please consider what part you can
play in helping us bring home our son.
Thank You!!!!
