During this wait for a court date, I find myself wondering...what more can I do? I keep seeing pictures of these little ones in Eastern Europe in need of families and my heart just aches. I named this blog after the starfish story because I know that there is no way we can save all the orphans by ourselves; yet, a piece of my heart wishes I could.
God is the only one that knows after we get "Yasmine" home what will happen next....whether we will go back again...I can I assure you I will keep my heart open to whatever He places upon it. I am in constant awe of the ability we have to change if we just open our minds and our hearts. I say this because I am very cautious and risk averse person, and yet I totally closed my eyes and jumped on this adoption thing. I know that God will take care of everything!
I do know that I can assure all my friends and family that I will forever be advocating for these little ones!! They need a voice...or better yet voiceS!!!
I am hoping everyone is having a great summer and that the kids are not going too stir crazy yet!!
Love, Cathie
I thought for sure we would come home with Bo and wish to return immediately. Strangely, 8 kids, 3 in diapers, and 2 with Down syndrome is proving to be kind of tough. ;) But, as we're getting or footing and hitting our stride, five months later, that old passion for those left behind is starting to rekindle.
ReplyDeleteI love how you said you'll keep your heart open!
