I love the names of God and as of recently I am looking into what they are and what they mean. You will find them sprinkled around this post. enjoy!
With the Author of my life beside my side this is the most amazing journey I have been on. Have you been part of this? Have you seen his power? Well, I am a witness to it all and I will share and recap with you this amazing journey. Just to start have you missed we are adopting two beautiful children with Down Syndrome. Not one but two! How does that happen? I will tell you how, by the power of ELOHIM......Genesis 1:1, Psalm 19:1 meaning "God", a reference to God's power and might.
A year ago He told me that we would raise all the money we need. All of it!! $48,000 later I am believing we will raise the last $5000 just as he said. Can you see the love through how he provides? JEHOVAH-JIREH.........Genesis 22:13-14 meaning "The Lord will provide"
He said there would be two little ones. I ran scared for a bit but look what happened..... Two little angles are coming home soon! Even as I ran away He was always there waiting. All in the name of JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH.......Ezekiel 48:35 meaning "The Lord who is present"
From the moment I said yes to Christ in 2001 he has never left my side. I have disappointed my self but never has He disappointed me. I have sat asking "Where are you" but He has never asked where I am, He knows at all times. He has a way with making plans for our lives and we least expect it He springs them into motion. Who knew 13 months ago we would be here now? I can say that I didn't and I know for a fact my husband didn't know it either. We are so blessed by our obedience to the Lord and although this has been very hard I wouldn't change a thing.
Just in case you didn't know our babies will be here soon :) Soon they will be tucked in their beds after a long day of being with those who love them. I know there will be days when I drop in bed and ask myself "what did I get myself into?" but I also know there won't be a day that goes by and think to myself how could anyone let them go. Especially when I see photos of children who are not so lucky. When I see little girl like Liliana. She is 11 and weighs just 10 lbs. She has waited 11 years for someone to love her and rescue her. The ransom is high but could you ever put a price on a child's soul?
I will forever fight for these children. I will always pray that each one of you will step up and help in some way. I have said it before, we all have a responsibility to do something. Help a family today. If not us find someone to help bring one of these children home. There are hundreds of families trying to bring them home and it cost thousands of dollars to pay their ransoms. Please decide today to make a difference in an orphans life. It truly could cost you a cup of coffee, a gallon of ice cream a week, a six pack a beer or even the Sunday paper each week. These things you could live without. They are not necessary and they are not a need to survive. You want to help. Ask me how. You don't want to help then be prepared when you stand before Christ to answer the question "How could you not?"
We are still in need of $5000 and there are hundreds of other families at
www.reecesrainbow.org just click on Sponsor a Family at the top of site. Pray and find a family to help. Commit to a family, read their stories, watch them and pray for them through their long journey. Trust me it will change your life, it will show you the blessings you have in your own life. You will see that life isn't about you, its about loving and serving those around you. So what are you waiting for? Go now, find a family and help them bring their little one home! OR go find a precious child to bring home to your family. You know you want to, you know God has already choosen your child ;)
As always I thank you from the bottom of my heart. We will be forever grateful for all your prayers, support and donations.
Thanks for reading. I cherish every person who reads this with love in their heart.
May Abba bless All of you!
