We may not be able to save every child, but we can respond one at a time. Do not be discouraged by numbers, but instead be encouraged that when we feed, visit, love and clothe an orphan- we did it for Christ. I tell you the truth- whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. Matthew 25:40

No words

There are simply no words to explain the pain in ones heart when they know their daughter is waiting in an orphanage without the love of a family and you can't go see her. It's been over 3 weeks since we signed the acceptance papers and still no invite to come. It's a time thing and I'm leaning on the Lord but as you see families get travel dates that only accepted a week ago its hard. Our agency is the best there is but they also have to wait for the Russian side to say "OK let them come" so everyday you wonder if this will be the day the phone rings and you begin to pack your bags, to leave part of you family here and meet the one waiting for you 1/2 way around the world.

I get asked this questions a lot...what can we do? It's simple dear friends. PRAY. Our lives are living proof that prayer changes things. I have an emptiness in my heart today and it aches to scoop my daughter up and love her forever so please take a minute of your time to cover our family and Miss A in prayer!
