Want to win something cute from our Etsy store? Stop by In Light of the Truth to find out about a great give-way going on right now. Much thanks to my college friend, Sarah, for doing this for us!
And as a side note, I think that Sarah's heart to come alongside us in this is one snapshot into how someone can individually walk out obeying God's command to care for orphans. One way that she is honoring God's command is by helping us along in our journey to adopt! If God hasn't called your family to adopt, that doesn't mean there's nothing you can do to love orphans. I've seen friends follow this command by seeking to become foster-parents. I've seen others of you follow this command by praying for us as we pursue adoption. My friend, Jessy, has been talking Christmas pictures for people and giving all the proceeds to us & another couple who are saving to adopt. Still others are sponsoring a child with Compassion International or giving money to Covenant Mercies or other wonderful Christian organizations. The needs and opportunities are endless!
If the Lord's stirring your heart to adopt a child, by all means-obey! But if He's not, ask Him how you can obey His command to care for orphans. There are so many opportunities out there!
If you have some other ideas of how to heed God's call, leave a comment and let me know!
this is so sweet, thank you!! I'm excited to walk with you and pray for you through this journey!
