answered prayer,adoption,and road trips

Praise God little Kosi is doing so much better, thanks for all who prayed!!

For those of you who don't know me well, I am a big proponent of adoption. I know a lot of people who have adopted and/or foster, follow blogs of complete strangers who follow the call to adopt, and I try to support anyway I can whether it be prayer, financial, or otherwise. There is one blog that I follow and have been so encouraged by the faith of this family and have joined them in praying (although they have no idea who I am) for their very emotional struggle to try to adopt a special needs little boy from Russia. Today, I found out they were FINALLY able to bring little Kirill home which is a total miracle! (I highly encourage you to follow them and their story!) But before she would even tell us faithful readers the whole story of their long awaited victory, she instead decided to put it off until enough money is raised for a family she knows trying to adopt some very needy and hurting brothers who are from eastern Europe, because she couldn't get their needs and their story off of her heart. As soon as I read about the two boys and saw pictures of their condition, I knew I couldn't do nothing. Here is the reason I'm telling you all of this...If you have ever wanted a chance to help complete strangers follow the call of Christ, here is your chance! You can make as small or big of a donation by going here. Read the story, pray, and then make a donation. Heck, if you just give up a latte or fast food trip this week, you have contributed without making any difference to your bank account! I firmly believe that if the body of Christ got behind those willing to adopt, not only would money NEVER be an issue and it should never be an issue, but there would be a huge dent in the orphan crisis out there.

I couldn't contribute much, but I am thankful that I can be of some part in helping my brothers and sisters in Christ, do something that I (and Christ) feel is so important. Ok, I'm getting off my soap box now=)

On another note, I am driving to Colorado tomorrow morning to reunite with some friends that I know from Bible school. One of them was my roommate that I got close to my last semester and since she is from France, I haven't seen her in years. I am SO excited for the short time all of us will get to spend together and that I was able to get time off of work on short notice. Just please pray that my little car and I make it safely there and back and that our time together will be encouraging!

I will leave you with some pictures that make me happy=)
