Still praying......

Lord, I'm still here... praying and believing and waiting.  Waiting can be hard.  I still have faith that you are going to work all of the finances out to help bring Anna home Lord.  I believe this.  Really I do.  I have seen it happen for many families who have adopted or are adopting through Reece's Rainbow.  Money falling from heaven with love, to go and rescue these beautiful children that sit alone in cribs, waiting for someone to come and take them home.  People have been making donations to help assist families who want to bring orphans into their families, and I mean LARGE donations.  I imagine poor Anna, waiting day in and day out for her family to come and scoop her up and deliver her from the awful life that she lives.  I don't like the fact that she is still sitting there waiting because the money to adopt her just isn't here yet.  I wonder if she's hungry.  I wonder if she rocks herself to sleep at night, because I know that no one else will.  When she cries does anyone come to her and soothe her sweet little soul?  How is her life?  What does her day consist of?  How many times a day is she fed? Do they deny her adequate fluids every day in order to avoid "filling" up diapers, because some orphanages only allow 2 diaper changes a day per child?  Does anyone at that orphanage love her or care for her?  Is she an orphanage favorite or just another baby in a crib?  How much does she weigh?  She is five years old and I wonder, will she come home to us at 5 years old weighing 20 pounds?  Does anyone sing to her or hold her daily?  Will she hoard food when she comes to us, in fear that someone will steal her food? 

All of these things I wonder, on a daily basis.  I don't know any of these things and won't know until we make our first trip to visit her.  Without adequate funding and donations will we get there fast enough to avoid her being transferred to the insane asylum?

I ask everyone that reads our blog, even if you are just now stumbling upon our story - PLEASE won't you join me in prayer and petition our Lord to please help us with finances to go and get Anna?  I have prayed from the beginning, with full faith, that God will let others who can help us, PLEASE let them hear our story and help us with finances to rescue Anna.  Over the last couple of years that I have been aware of Reece's Rainbow I have made donations to help others bring their children home.  I may not have been able to give HUGE donations, but I did pray over the amount that I was able to give and ask God to bless their families.  Now I am believing God for the same thing for our family.

I know that not everyone is able to donate, but everyone can say a prayer for our family and for Anna.  Can you please help make this miracle happen?  If you would like to help you can donate to the chipin on our sidebar to the right.  Or you can make a tax deductible donation by clicking on Anna's picture to the right that says, Anna, help us bring her home.  Or you can write a check made to Reece's Rainbow and mail it to:
