Sitting at home with Diego... thinking how can I make a difference...
Did you know that there are OVER 147 MILLION orphans worldwide? That's a crisis people! Every 12 seconds a child becomes orphaned due to AIDS. 147 Million sounds HUGE! Even OVERWHELMING!!!! What could I possibly do?
Well, I might not can bring home 147 million, but what about ONE?! I can make a difference in the life of ONE! Yes, I can! I can even make a difference in the life of many...if I choose. I can support others who can bring home more children. I can support emotionally, financially, and spiritually... yeah, I can do that! I will do that! Will you?
There are families all over that need our support. Yes, they need someone to cheer them on when they begin to doubt or second-guess themselves! When the money's not there, yes, they need you to send a little *seed* money to remind them that God is in control and there's no amount of money that is going to stop them from bringing that baby home! And yes, your prayers availeth much... they have no idea where their children are or the birth/foster parents are okay, what special concerns/needs they might have... they need YOU to pray! Pray on their behalf...Pray for the Orphans Worldwide that God would increase their network of support...
As we are waiting for our referral, we want to cheer along other families in the process of adopting, as well. Please help us by following these blogs as well and leave encouraging thoughts/prayers in their comment section. If you feel led to give, don't second guess yourself, do it! You'll be blessed in knowing YOU made a difference...and that's 147 Million MINUS one!
