You are right - God has birthed this feeling in you to use the gifts you have. Keep your eyes and ears open. I heard a quote once that said, "Sometimes we're waiting for a voice when He's already spoken a verse." So, with that in mind, we can never seek God's Word enough! And, when we do, it will never return void.Angela Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03920661237483000885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31328513.post-4140821234151295342009-07-11T23:58:34.546-07:002009-07-11T23:58:34.546-07:00I so understand your feelings on this - it is so, ...I so understand your feelings on this - it is so, so hard to know that you can't bring them all home.

I could not have said it better. I wish I had the answer..but I know God does, even though in my heart I desperately want to adopt more children, but there just isn't the finances for it...and that part bugs me because I feel God has placed this love for the orhans and adoption so deeply in my heart but the finances don't come along side...how do I possibly make it work???? I have no idea. <br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing this post...I will be praying for you. Please pray for me as well.Intentional Living Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865476434729958056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31328513.post-87115997477009339602009-07-09T11:32:58.749-07:002009-07-09T11:32:58.749-07:00I have been on your book shelf shoping for Nick...I have been on your book shelf shoping for Nick's summer book.

We...I have been giving this alot of thought myself. We are about to begin our own small fundraisrs to offset the cost of our next adoption. But what if we all pulled our talents (whatever they may be!) and begun one child at a time. Raising money for each of these children for grants toward there adoptions. Adoption is so exspensive and the money is quite a challenge for so many people who would love to be parents to some of these precious kiddos.Let me know what you think!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01791894342071382936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31328513.post-47438723193166451192009-07-09T08:23:42.438-07:002009-07-09T08:23:42.438-07:00I'm thinking you're on your way to Africa!...I'm thinking you're on your way to Africa!

And...Ondrea, even Jesus didn't heal everybody. And, I'm sure he wept for all those that he couldn't save; just as you are. I know it's not exactly comforting to know that you have these feelings for all these kids and unsure what God wants you to do, but he will reveal it. And, maybe he just wants you to speak out for the orphans-you blog touches so many people. Maybe he wants you to create a piece of jewelry and donate to the orphanages. Who knows, but God does and we have to rely on that. I love ya, sister!<br /><br />lorilorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13457564298803730077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31328513.post-83111011523140124852009-07-09T06:25:01.103-07:002009-07-09T06:25:01.103-07:00I was just talking about all of this this morning ...I was just talking about all of this this morning on a walk with a friend..how do you know when to stop?
