i am humbled..

well it's summer time and i finally have plenty (and i mean plenty) of time on my hands to try this blogging thing out. thank you, alley, for getting me involved:) it all started when she asked me to read her blog (for about the fifteenth time..ha) and i finally got around to doing it! then i was browsing the blogs she follows and came across this one that is done by a girl who is a missionary in uganda. it moved me so much i was in tears reading it. as soon as john mark came over the first thing i did was show him this girl's blog. i am so humbled and motivated right now to do more for His kingdom. one person can do so much and i feel like we often believe the lie that one person isn't enough. i advise ya'll to check out this blog. even though all is well with my soul, i know that is not the case for everyone. Lord, give me the strength and power to accomplish that which You want me to do..today, tomorrow, and everyday after that. i am truly amazed at all that i have been given and how often i take it for granted. forgive me, Lord. my heart has been growing so much this last week. i have had a large place in my heart for helpless children since 2006. i went to ufa, russia that year and we stayed a couple of nights at an orphanage. although all of the children weren't there, there were a few and i fell in love with them watching them dance and sing for us. i know that i have been called to love a child of God's that is longing for attention and security. one day you will see me with at least two adopted children, maybe more. now, i know i am getting ahead of myself....first, i will get married, don't worry :) i feel like this is part of His plan for my life and i have been made well-aware of my longing for it more and more this week. be blessed tonight because He sure does want to give it to us.
