SeekingLovingWalking=ACTIONS

My heart hurts. My head is just spinning.

It's just amazing the way I hurt sometimes when I allow the Spirit to guide me to open my eyes. It's amazing the way I want to be so selfish sometimes in thinking life is waking up, going to work, coming home and playing with my awesome family. I so so so often think about how easy we have it as Americans. It's so easy to think we don't need God because of all of the things we can have and do for ourselves.

But what about the people who don't have everything? What about the people who don't have a voice? What about the people who never experience love? What about the people who are never experience the greatest love story on earth---the love Jesus shows us?

I have been keeping up recently with the Dr. Gosnell's murder trial. If you haven't been keeping up with it, READ ABOUT IT HERE. It makes me so sick to my stomach. How is this happening? The biggest ordeal right now about this issue is that the media has turned a blind eye. While, yes, that is disturbing, what's even more disturbing is what are we as Christians doing about this??

Last night, Matthew and I watched STUCK the documentary. Once again, sick to my stomach. (And no, I'm not constantly sick at my stomach because I'm almost 33 weeks prenant. That brings on enough emotions as it is.) This documentary, which you should BUY HERE, reveals the hard journey of adoption and why it is on the decline. (Yes, a lot of people think there has been an increase in adoptions, but there has been a 50% decrease over the last 10 years.) Heart breaking doesn't touch the surface of how it makes me feel to see all of these orphans. What are Christians doing about this??

Proverbs 24:12 says "Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows what we know and holds us responsible to ACT."

DO WE SERIOUSLY CARE ABOUT SEEKING JUSTICE, LOVING MERCY AND WALKING HUMBLY WITH GOD??

Yes, we are adopting a child. And yes, I KNOW that is exactly what the Lord wants us to do. But I can't sit still and think that He wants us to adopt one child one time in my life and think that is good enough.

There are MILLIONS of orphans that need love. There are MILLIONS of babies being aborted. PLEASE do SOMETHING. Not everyone has to adopt a child. But can you sponsor a child? Can you go to an orphanage and love on a child? Can you get together a group of Christians and start an orphanages so that so many of these babies don't have to live in overcrowded government institutions? Can you donate to an orphanage, an adoption or a children's home? Can you drive to an abortion clinic and sit in your car and pray for God to change those doctors' and mothers' hearts? Can you write a letter to the legislature?

WHAT CAN YOU DO?
