Anyone Got Some Cheese for my "Whine"
I usually try to take all my sadness about needing to get Maggie home to my China Sisters, but today I woke up overwhelmed with a need to be in China and holding my child. Since bringing home Emily two years ago for the first time in our lives Scott and I feel that one of the main purposes God has for us here on earth is to bring orphans into their forever family. Just thinking of all the children sitting in orphanages around the world is heartbreaking and the burden is one we must all carry ....Whether you adopt, support an orphan financially, pray, help others to adopt or whatever it is you do ... we must all do SOMETHING .... it is God's will for everyone to care for the orphans and widows of this world !!!! Sorry about the soap box, but we all have this calling in one form or another ....Never let life get so busy or so full that you forget "the least of these."
I thank you Lord for the ability to be heartbroken and for the feelings of helplessness, because it always refocuses me on YOU !!! You are the ultimate healer, provider, Father, physician, restorer, caregiver, forgiver, best friend, and so much more that I need daily !!! Thank you for loving, me!!!

Great reminder about our responsibilty to take care of the least of these! It's truly about obedience to God's Word.
Praying for you guys and for Maggie.
Wonderful post...very touching!
Totally agree! :)
If I must say so - it's a great thing to "whine" about!! We are right there praying with you and for you - I am glad we have such a BIG God!
When DO you guys get Maggie? Do you know yet?
Amen on what you said...
I know how you feel.....it is overwhelming. I am so busy here at home with E, S and D but I would get on a plane in a second to bring another baby home. God will help us get through this. He has the plan, and we just need to be patient!
Sending you hugs my Pingjiang Sister! ;)
Words from my heart as well Gwen!! God only wants the best for his children and there are so many in the world that can provide this for them. Thanks for jump starting my day full of prayer!
So excited to be able to keep up with you! I had heard you were going back to China. That is so exciting. I will be praying for all of you! Love you blog! I am so new at this. I've got to get it all figured out!
I am praying for all of my "sisters" and their future children...(also for myself since I have definitely been given a heart for adoption...now I just need the $$$$$)
Love you and PREACH ON!!!!! Let's get all of those sweet babies families to love on 'em!
