Who's AJ?

You might have noticed, I have added a blog to our "blogs I follow" list on the sidebar. It's called "Bring AJ Home". AJ is the putz family's new name for Anthony cuz they already hav a special needs son named Anthony! From the couple posts I've read, they sound like the perfect family for our lil prince charming! Please pray for their family as the Lord Jesus Christ guides them to their son! Hav a blessed day!

this post has had 5 names, this is the one i settled on: DO SOMETHING!!!!!

I recently read a post on Caleb's was going to be mom's blog, that she wrote with facts about orphans world-wide, special needs and not. they were scary but interested me. so i'm not going to steal her words, i did some research for myself. I hope this doesnt sound to sermon-y, im just trying to get my point across.


To start off, do you know how many orphans there are around the world? try 147 million children. You read it right, 147 million children around the world are orphans and the number keeps getting larger. 147 million children internationally have no mom or dad, no brother or sister, no best friend to cry on or have sleepovers with. 147 million and more children world-wide don't have a guaruntee of  having another meal. 147 million children around the world sleep in a room full of kids in their same situation, many sharing mattresses. every 2 seconds, one of those 147 million children dies of MALNUTRITION. This is America, we eat WAAAY to much, while there are innocent children out there DYING from not having the opportunity of eating. Malnutrition plays a part in more than half of the child deaths worldwide. Even more often, malnutrition cripples children's growth, renders them susceptible to disease, dulls their intellects, and diminishes their motivation and their productivity. its sad. I'm not making these numbers up, im getting them from a legit site.
I have a medical condition that makes me so i cant walk long distances, but if I could, I seriously would walk 1,000 miles just to be with one of the 147 million world wide orphans. Princess Noel and Prince Sergey count for less than 1% of the world's orphans. over 2 Billion people world-wide call themselves Christians, so if only 3% of the christian population adopted ONE child, the Orphan crisis would be over! Are you part of that 3% that is willing to risk adoption, or are you that 97% that wants nothing to do with orphans. I, personally, am unable to adopt because I'm only a teenager, but i want to really badly! I have age holding me back, but you for sure can! 3% is all it takes! Don't let money stand in the way, if God wants you to adopt, which he does, he will give you the money. I don't know how, I don't know where, but the money will be in your hands.
“Do not take advantage of the widow or the fatherless. If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry. My anger will be aroused, and I will kill you with the sword." -God- Exodus 22:22-24a. In other words, to God, hearing an orphan cry is like being stabbed in the heart. If you don't care for the orphans, meaning either something small, like praying for the orphans, or something as big as adopting, God will not nessecarily kill you, although he can, but he will mess you up, cuz he's powerful enough to do that.
So, Will you be the 3% or 97%? i'll tell you right now that the 97% is a whole lot easier, but do you want ease over life-long joy? sounds kind of ridiculous to me. I'm gonna end my post with a challenge: DO SOMETHING!!!!!

I lub u momy!

Hi momy, its me, Noel! We haven't met yet, but you love me! I'm riting this letter to u too tel u how bad dis plase is. I don't kno how old I am, I just kno dat I'm extremely lucky too b living here, at least dats what my caregiber says. I don't kno whats wrong wit her, but dis is not a very lucky plase too b.
