I can see the tears filling Your eyes
And I know where they're coming from
They're coming from a heart that's broken in two
By what you don't see
The person in the mirror
Doesn't look like the magazine
Oh, but when I look at you it's clear to me that...
I can see the fingerprints of God
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know it's true
You're a masterpiece
That all creation quietly applauds
And you're covered with the fingerprints of God
Never has there been and never again
Will there be another you
Fashioned by God's hand
And perfectly planned
To be just who you are
And what He's been creating
Since the first beat of your heart
Is a living breathing priceless work of art and...
Just look at you
You're a wonder in the making
Oh, and God's not through, no
In fact, He's just getting started and…

Bedridden Orphans: This is Reality
This is Kiril. All three of these pictures are from after he was transfered to a mental institution, and is now bedridden.
He is in this video. It's hard to see, but he is real. This is him everyday. He lies in bed. See him at 0:40? Same outfit as that middle picture. I also think it may be Victoria at 0:23.
These kids have the potential to walk, talk, enjoy life. Please donate to them. Pray that they will find families. Have a nice day.

The Life-changing Video
this is NOT right
Noel is 6, SIX YEARS OLD. she should be starting 1st grade about now. i remember how excited i was to start 1st grade, i was finally gonna be a big kid, but Noel will never experience that feeling. Noel will miss out on a lot of things because she is bedridden, don't let her miss out on any more than she has to. Pray for the Princess, make a donation to her name, if you can, ADOPT her! no donation is too small. God DOES answer prayers, and i can tell you for sure that GOD DOES NOT LIKE THE ORPHAN CRISIS ONE BIT. help Noel, YOU'RE HER ONLY HOPE! <3

Our Mission Trip
Since I have some new friends following my blog, and I don't think I
have fully explained it, I'm going to explain my mission trip.
Well, we will be going to Orphanage 25 (I'm not supposed to say the
name online) and another orphanage near it, the second orphanage is an
older child internat. The people going is still undecided, but it will
be at least me, Spud and one of our parents. We will be going to
Uk*aine August 2013. We will go to each orphanage, spend a week there,
loving the kids, helping out, and telling them about Jesus and his
amazing love for them. We hope to get many pictures so we can advocate
for children at each.
I have been emailing with Megan, over at Life2Orphans.com , and
George, her in- country coordinater. He has been talking with the
director of 25, helping us so much to get this set up. This is a big
project, and will cost about $4,000-$6,000 per person. But by working
and babysiting this summer alone, I have about $600 saved up already.
We have some fundraisers planned, which we will let you know about
once it gets closer, but just to hint, "Drop your kids night". Spud's
gonna raise her $8,000 (her and half the price of chaperone, and I'll
do mine). If you have any ideas for fundraisers, please let us know!
We are still looking for sponsors and stuff to get the word out about
our trip, if you know, please comment!
Well, that's all for now! Have questions? Please comment and I will
post with answers!

Happy Birthday AJ, It's your last one alone. It's not your birthday here yet, but it is in your country. You're just waking up. But next year, you'll be in America, with your brother Anthony. There's a bunch of people rooting for you, and your momma, papa and brother can't wait to celebrate with you.

A Plea For An Innocent Life
Sergey is five years old. His entire life has been spent in an
orphanage, in a laying down room, because he has some more needs than
the other kids. Ok, he's not "normal". Are you saying your child is?
All kids have "special needs". Timmy doesn't like spaggetti; Joy
sleeps with a blanket around her feet. We just call them "quirks" or
say "it makes them unique". Sergey is unique. But his "uniqueness" is
labeled as a "disability" and he is locked away in an orphanage.
I don't know Sergey's story, I don't really know anything about him.
But his parents were probably forced to give him up. What would you do
if your child couldn't walk and everyone was telling you to lock him
away, so you could have a "free" life? His history isn't what's
important, its right now. Let me take you to Sergey's world. Right
now, he is laying in the same bed he has been in for 5 years. He's
hungry, because they don't have enough food at the orphanage for
everybody to eat a lot. The sounds of the babies crying is keeping him
awake. He has to go potty, but doesn't want to go in his diaper. He
knows it will be wet and uncomfortable if he does.
This little boy is so handsome, he needs a family, so he can reach
his full potential. I remember there was a family that adopted a child
from Eastern Europe. He was a little older than Sergey I think. He had
been labeled as a "Cannot Walk" child. Once he was home, and the
family spent some time on him, he was able to walk. It was that no one
had spent time to teach him and help him how to walk. I believe Sergey
is much the same. He needs a family to spend the time to help him
learn. And if he is in a wheelchair, that is better than a bed for the
rest of his life. Transfer to a mental institution is the worse thing
that could happen to Sergey. Most children transfered DIE within their
first year there. Two children have already been adopted and saved
from Orphanage 25 and that fate. Another is in the process. I know
about all those new laws in Uk*aine, how adoption of children under 5
is limited to certain special needs. Sergey's over that age, so he's
adoptable. He's available to large families, or first time parents, or
anyone in between. Yes, its far. Yes, its expensive. Yes, theres a lot
of "What if's". But wouldn't it be worth it to know you SAVED A LIFE?
Sergey was put here for a reason. I found him for a reason. You're
reading this FOR A REASON. What's that reason? His family is out
there. They just need to go get him. Please spread the word about him.
Tell his family where their son is. The handsome Prince Sergey awaits.
It's all for Jesus.
