Stealing from a friend.....

....because my creativity well has run dry. And Julia's words are God-inspired. She reminds me that God is in the business of growing mighty trees from tiny seeds.

Think Again....
You think what we do for the Least of These doesn't matter??

Think again...

READ THIS AND THINK AGAIN...

A mom who is unable to adopt at this time has a blog.  
She uses that blog to advocate for the Reece's Rainbow kids.  
It doesn't have a huge following. It isn't a major blog at all.  
But she is faithful.  She shares her heart.  She shares about the kids.  
She prays.  She has the blog linked to her e-mail 
address so every single time she sends an e-mail... 
she is also sending a connection to her blog.

So one day... just recently... she sends an e-mail to a friend.  
Not about adopting.  Not about RR kids. It was about homeschooling.  
Homeschooling. Just an e-mail with some information 
about homeschooling.  That friend forwarded the information 
to another friend.  THAT FRIEND read the e-mail 
AND HAPPENED TO NOTICE THE LINK AT THE BOTTOM.

She clicked the link.

She was confronted with the plight of the orphans in 
Eastern Europe and Asia. 

Her heart broke.  She and her daughter sat and scrolled 
through picture after picture.  Their hearts broken.  The Holy Spirit 
whispering to them as they looked.  When her husband 
came home they showed him what broke their hearts and his too broke.

They are now working on their homestudy and are 
going to commit to TWO REECE'S RAINBOW CHILDREN.  Two kids.  

Two.

Because a mom was faithful.

Because God uses whatever we offer for 
HIS GLORY AND HIS PURPOSE.

I know this story to be true.

I met this family today at the Richmond Buddy Walk.

I saw the children they are going to adopt.

They are just starting the process so I can't share who they 
are but I am rejoicing with them as they walk this road.

You think what you do doesn't matter?  You think you have 
too small of a blog or too few friends on Facebook to make 
a difference?  You think you are too meek or too insignificant for God to use?

So did my friend Gwen and look what God did through her.

Two orphans will be coming home because she was faithful 
in the small things.

What you do matters to these babes.  It matters to Tara and Veronika.  
It matters to Orion who spends his days laying in a crib.  
It matters to James and Andrius.  It matters to Dawn and Angelina. 
It matters to Michael.  It matters to Kai and Asher.  

WHAT YOU DO MATTERS.

YOU JUST HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO MAKE IT MATTER!

Do whatever you can to be a voice to these kids and all the others.
