Resources

I wanted to throw out some resources about adoption and orphans.

Here is a great post by a pretty amazing lady who is adopting three children from Africa. They know how to hear and obey God's voice clearly. She gives many ways for anyone to get involved with adoption and orphans.

Here is a blog about a mother of 13 and she is about the same age as me! Her story is AMAZING. It is so incredibly encouraging and real. Check it out!

As God has been teaching me about orphans I have come to be more aware and thankful for many things.
  • Jesus
  • An opportunity to give a voice to those who can't speak for themselves
  • 2 wonderful parents who taught me so much
  • a loving brother and sister-in-law who offer great guidance
  • the cutest niece in the world
  • 3 of the best roomies ever!!
  • wonderful friends and sisters in Christ that surround me
  • Cornerstone Church and all that goes with this absolutely wonderful church
  • a job that i LOVE!!
  • 3 meals a day (with many snacks in-between)
  • Closet full of too many clothes
  • Apartment with heat
  • ISU (even if it does stress me out)
This is not an exhaustive list and I'm sure I'm missing some, but it's a start.

Happy Thanksgiving! :D

~With praise and thanksgiving they sang to the LORD: “He is good; his love toward Israel endures forever.” And all the people gave a great shout of praise to the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid. ~
Ezra 3:11
