Heavy but Trusting Heart

 Tomorrow marks the day that is supposed to be the start of a decrease in Ethiopian Adoptions by 90%. It is very heavy on my heart tonight as I think of all the kids waiting for their very own mommy and daddy to scoop them up and cover them in hugs and kisses, tell them how much they are loved and that they are perfectly made for their family.

For now I will put my trust in God's faithfulness, in the fact that he will not leave them as orphans, that he loves them and created each one of them in his image. I read someones comment earlier that really hit me; that if we love the orphans this much just imagine how much God loves them. That is so true and I will hold tight to that!!

If you haven't already done so please sign the petition here. It has made strides since I signed last night but there is always room for another signature!!

On another note, I gave up facebook and twitter for Lent. This is going probably be the most challenging Lenten sacrifice I have made but I'm hoping that it will allow me to prioritize my time a little better. Instead of scrollin through twitter updates on my phone, I will play with Lydia or talk to my husband or read my God's word. What a great idea huh? I should be doing this stuff anyway but I get so caught up in it all that I let it take over sometimes. So here goes nothing!! Praying for good quality time and a start to what will be a more balanced social media addiction after it's all over.
