Broken

Well this blog is going to be about as opposite as it could be from my previous posts! However, I am the blogger, so I get to say what I want and this is what I want to say....

My heart is broken for the orpans in this world. We all seek to have our hearts break for what breaks God's heart.... well I think He has been in the process of breaking my heart for orphans for a while now and this weekend He finished that work. I am broken. There are millions of children with no mom or dad and 30 thousand of them die every day as a result. When I was hearing these statistics, seeing pictures, and hearing stories, I couldn't help but think of the kids I care for on a daily basis, how privileged they are! They have every physical need met, and so much more importantly, they are loved and cared for by two parents! Wow! I have never awed at what a blessing that is! How I have taken it for granted in my life and the lives of others! But when I took the time to think about and cry about the children who do not have that privilege... wow, we are blessed!
So now what!? What do you do with a broken heart!? Well I don't really know! But I do know that my loving God, who was willing to break my heart for these children, will show me what to do about it! Right now I am going to be praying, and by God's will I will hopefully get to go to Africa later this year and minister to these sweet babies! And I hope and pray with all my heart that one day I will be able to adopt a child of my own, and I pray that God will bless me with more than one!

But right now I am going to pray for these precious lives and thank God for blessing me how He has! I am so excited to see where He takes me from here!

Thanks for reading!

Stay tuned....
