Most people that blog do so because they love to write. Not the case with me. Not a fan of writing and really feel silly when people read what I write. But I knew we needed a way to communicate what was happening on this journey, and this seemed like the best way to do that. For a little while we had things going on to keep you updated on, but now really we are just waiting. And its gonna be awhile. So what do we talk about.
Over these next few months I would like to use this blog to share with you a little bit about the world of orphan care that exists. God gave me this passion a decade ago, but it wasn't until the past 6 months that I have discovered others that share this same brokenness and what they are doing to help with this crisis.
There are so many amazing stories of people reaching outside their comfort level, financial means, and society's idea of normal to love and care for those in need.
"Once our eyes have been opened, we cannot pretend we do not know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows we know, and holds us responsible to act."-Proverbs 24:12 This Scripture has been weighing on me lately. Jonathon and I feel such a burden for these children because we have been there and we've seen. We can't go on with our lives pretending to forget. Not only are we called to act and reach out ourselves, but now we are challenged to share it with you.
Just discovered this song called "One Less" by Matthew West. Wanted to share with you the background on where this song came from. I love how he describes it as " a hug and a punch."I hope that is what this blog becomes for you- a warm fuzzy hug, but kind of a punch in the gut too!
Feel free to end this post here. Or if you think you can handle it watch this video a local church put together for this song.
