MUST-SEE!!!!!



I've seen this video on a few different blogs, and to be completely honest, by-passed it, until this evening....wow,this is a MUST SEE!!! Again, this video just puts to rest my feelings of doubt,impatience,fear,and worries... i mean,how could i look the other way, knowing how many children DON'T have families,moving from place to place, not knowing who if anyone loves them...aaaahh..how sad, and to think, that just today, i questioned this decision we've made,NOT because we don't have room,food,LOVE,support,family to call their own.....but simply because of money,how crazy is that?? How could i say nope, not doing it, just because we don't have the $$ upfront to pay for the remaining fees? That's IT, that's the only thing that would stop me from doing this,how horrible is that, and you know what else, think of how many others would like to adopt,and the only thing holding them back is money... and what if we all just said no, no to these sweet children that need homes,families,hugs and kisses.....And really, how many people actually have the money available and on-hand? Isn't this part of the journey??(i choose to think so!!) Grab a kleenex or two and enjoy the video!! xo kristen

  1. Kristen ~ We saw this when it was on t.v. All I could think was how many children will never get the opportunity to tap into their gifts & potential b/c they're just trying to survive... Hope is everything! I hear you about the doubts, fears, money, etc...but that's when I remind myself that anything God has called us to, He WANTS us to be fully dependent on him & be out of our comfort zone. I've said this before, but I'll say it again: I love the movie "The Blind Side" b/c there's a quote where these ladies say to Sandra Bullock's character, "You're changing that boy's life" & she replies, "No, he's changing mine"...love that!! This whole road to adoption & the child(ren) on the other end really does bless & change our lives as much as it does the child's. Hope you get some exciting news soon!! :o)
