My soul is stirred. God's been stirring my soul in this way for the past 10 years but it is incredibly restless these days. I ache to be a part of God's master plan in this world, all the while knowing I am exactly where He has me and I am extremely content here. My two little girls fill up my life and heart. They receive healthy food prepared by a Mama who is madly in love with them. They hear stories and have words spoken into the deepest parts of their hearts by a Daddy who adores them. God placed them in our lives and has called us to pour Him into them. But there's more He has called us to. He has called us to love, to reach our arms half way around this world He created and love some children most don't know exist. He hasn't placed these children in our home or even within reach but He has called us to give what we have so they may know Him. My soul longs to sit on the floor, jump one of them into my lap, and read a story that brings giggles and questions and long conversation. It longs to braid their hair, fill their cheeks with kisses and tuck them into a warm bed at night. These aches will never come to resolution but God will fill them with Himself as I use my gifts and talents to reach them the way He knows they need. Many people question because I am just one person and Justin and I are only two. We can't rid the world of orphans and we can't house them all. But, thankfully, we know God cares for them even more than we do and He CAN change the world! So, we stand with our hands open, willing to do what He asks of us for the sake of fatherless, hungry, lonely children. For the sake of His Kingdom. |
