Be The Change

This new video preview was recently released and after several conversations this week on why we have adopted 3 children 2 with special needs and how can we possibly want to adopt more children. I've heard things like You can't save the world, Oh the need is so great I couldn't possibly make a difference, It is a never ending problem. Well I am from the school of We can change the world. We can be Christ. We can be the difference. Yep it is scary sometimes, yes it is not always comfortable to step out and trust GOD and trust that everything is going to turn out for our good. It is uncomfortable to give what I have sometimes. That is where the growth comes from. How do you know what change you can make or whose world you can change if you never step out of the comfort zone? Not all of us are called to adopt not all of us are called to the mission field, not all are suppose to be Drs etc... That is what makes us a part of the BODY.... The eyes don't do what the feet do but they are equally important and work together to get us from place to place.
There are many ways to be a world changer.. support those who are willing to go financially or with encouragement. Pray for the change to come... Pray for doors to open. Bring a meal to those who need a hand.... Step out of the boat however you feel led to just step out of the boat. We started this journey 1 step at a time. I am amazed at how much my life has changed just by wanting to be a mother so badly I ached. Now I am not only a world changer but incredibly blessed to be the mother of 3 beautiful children who have more strength and courage than most adults.... 1 child who has overcome obstacles most of us would cower to overcome. There are 143 million children in this world living without Love, hugs, laughter, enough to eat and clothing.... There are 143 million blessings in this world waiting for someone to get behind them and hold them up and show them GOD is GOD and he does care.... My family is preparing and planning to make a little more room to bring a family to more children.... We have more than enough room for more squeals, laughter, hugs ,kisses, challenges and tears.... Our hearts break because there is more than enough out there but the least of these haven't gotten theirs yet by default. What can you do to BE THE CHANGE!

Lisa,

Love your attitude. Adoption changes the lives of just more than just the adopted child. It frees up a bed, food and love for another child. It changes everyone they or your family ever comes into contact with. It changes the nay-sayers even though they don't know it. It changes the world.

Looking forward to watching another child change YOUR world :o)
