His Love

I enjoy reading blogs that make me thankful for all that I have, don't you? You know the blogs that uplift you and cause a stir in you to challenge you to do more, say more, take action, be Christ to more people...to just show Him to people, not by preaching but by living it and loving them.

I am always reading adoption blogs and looking at websites devoted to orphans and people who are ministering to orphans and I came across this website- http://kissesfromkatie.blogspot.com/

and I was immediately in tears upon reading her entries. I immediately wanted to know more and so I began researching her organization. Amazima is the name of the organization and they do so much more than provide schooling, food and love for children...but there is a link on my blog to find out for yourself. I encourage you to read her blog as well, for it will give you a perspective unlike any other.

This week has been a very difficult one in our household...Bug has had a seizure for the last three days in a row and has just not been herself and my back has been completely out. We have had to rely on my mom for a great deal of help. We are fighting with our insurance company to pay for medicines that they aren't willing to pay for, and dealing with....what we felt was more than we could handle...and then I read her blog and my whole perspective changed. I am so richly blessed to live where I do and have what I have and am able to get for my child. Although, I know that I am able to have bad days and difficult times...I struggle with allowing myself to go to a place of feeling sorry for myself. There is a great big world out there with a lot of pain and suffering...that we are called to love. The only person in our situation that I feel badly for is my Bug...and I truly do feel for her. I feel so much for her...I am daily begging our Lord to remove the seizures from her body, to allow her to be in remission again. We are soon to have the IVIG and I am so hopeful that this procedure will be what her body needs to release her from the seizures...and that God will heal her completely. I know that He does not have a plan of calamity for us, and I trust in His plan.

Showing His love to the world is what He calls us to do...and children are such special gifts...please take the time to go to the link and read about these precious children in Uganda...and remember to pray for Bug as well. It's just simply showing His love...
