YOU HAVE A PART !!!

Anya & Nastya 
We all have a part in God's plan, it is just up to us if we take it or not, and then what we do with it.  Right now, I sit in a quiet house, tired after a long day, but yet I am awake.  I am awake because God has called me to do something more, something that has meaning.  Today, that more, is help a friend.  I have mentioned our friends, The Shawley's numerous times in this blog.  They were called to adopt 2 girls ( pictured)  from the same orphanage as our girls.  There is no simpler way to put it, than, they need our help, and they need it now.   They are in need of financial support in order to be able to travel to get their girls.  They have stepped out on faith since the beginning of their process, and have watched how God has unfolded their story, layer by layer.  There are many people that doubt what God can do.  Many people think, well it is crazy for them to just come up with enough money to be able to make this happen. I say to those of you who doubt, how many people doubted that Jesus was in fact The Christ.  Even Thomas, Jesus's own disciple doubted that he indeed rose from the dead.  Thomas had traveled with Jesus and saw the miraculous things he had done, he had seen Jesus raise Lazarus from the dead, but yet he still doubted.  Thomas's human nature overshadowed his faith.  Let's not let our human nature overshadow our faith for God moving in this very situation.  Let us join together and do our part, as fellow christians, and help this family.  If you are a friend of mine on Facebook, you may have already saw that I created a pledge drive for Jim Bob and Mandy that is going on right now.  We are asking families, churches and individuals to give whatever they can to help bring these girls home. Have you ever felt like you wanted to have a part in something BIG?  This is your chance to have a part in a life changing experience that will effect not only this families lives, but everyone that surrounds this family.  Please message me on Facebook or send me an email if you know someone that is in a position to help and I will give you all the info you need to make a donation.  All donations are tax exempt.  After all this is what being a Christian is all about, helping those around us that are in need.  Time is an issue here, so lets pray this can happen and happen fast.
