Anything is Possible With God

We've been blessed! Two new wonderful children are waiting in Uganda. Two wonderful, beautiful children of God. It happened just this morning while sitting and eating breakfast. We had recieved pictures of two children, Kevin (7 or 8 yr.) and his adorable little sister, Sheba (5 or 6 yr.), several days earlier. Their parents were gone. Dad probably died of aids and mom abandoned them. They were found living in a little brick shelter they had made for them selves, caring and feeding themselves as best they could. A neighbor found them and took them in and they have been shuffled around from place to place. They are in the care of a foster mother now.Usually the kids would be put on a waiting child list and then, the waiting families here could look through the list of kids. Well they weren't placed on the list for an unknown reason. Someone had mentioned them to our social worker and she said that she knew the perfect couple for them. She sent us pictures and information on them and said if we would agree to adopt them, then to consider them ours.

This is not etched in stone yet though. We still need to be aproved on the Ugandan side of things. Like I said in my first post, "I have always wanted a sister." It used to be that I considered my cousin Kelsey a sister, we did a lot of things together and shared secrets. But now, it looks as if I will get one that is truely mine. Mine to love and care for. Mine to look after and teach. Mine.It is truely amazing to be able to look at a picture of two children you have never met, never known, never knew existed, never known on a personal level, never been able to talk to, and say, "Thats a son and daughter of christ, and he wants them to belong to my family, and in some way, some day, he will make them ours, and we will love and care for them as Christ would, as long as we live!"

It is through the father I have told you this. It is through the father this is happening. It is through the father I will have a little brother and sister. And it is through the father, we will continue to live. Live in his way. Everyday. In every way. We are his. He will never, ever, leave us.
