I’m back to blogging. Honestly I sat in front of the laptop
blankly staring. I feel like I’m unprepared on what to write. My last post was
May. I stopped writing in my blog for selfish reasons. I have come to realize
that this blog is not for me. This blog is for my son and all the orphans
worldwide. With that said I’m back.
I promise I will go back and finish my journey to my son
starting with the 1st time we met him. Today I wanted to write about
Orphan Sunday.
November 2nd is Orphan Sunday. Today is a day to
focus and pray for orphans. Today is a day to advocate on behalf of those who
have no voice. It is estimated there are between 143 million and 210 million
orphans worldwide. Every day 5,760 more children become orphans.
Today as I write this with a lump in my throat, because four
months ago my son was an orphan.
Today I pray boldly for the fatherless. I ask the Lord to
protect them and care for them and keep them safe.
Today I pray for the health of orphans around the world. I’m
asking the Lord to provide them with medications and treatment for the simple
things that are unnecessary killing these children, like unclean water,
malaria, AIDS, and malnutrition.
Today we had a fest to celebrate my son’s homecoming and
orphan Sunday.
Our son is the most beautiful gift from GOD! We are
so thankful he is home. We can’t imagine life without him. We are humble and grateful
that God put adoption and the love for orphans in our hearts.
