| Jonathan, Jennifer, Mookie, Eliana & Caro |
I've learned that "Family" comes in many different forms. Jonathan and I have a non-traditional family. We Married later in life. We were content being a Family of 2 for 5 years, until God put it on our hearts to adopt Mookie. Then we decided we are going on a Mission Trip to Ecuador next Summer. We will be visiting a Compassion International Center. This is how God put it on my heart to Sponsor a Compassion International little girl from Ecuador.
I went on the site to see the children available for sponsorship between the ages of 1 and 8. I acted like I was picking one. Then it asked me to consider sponsoring another little girl from the same Church. How could I resist?? Both of these girls waited for 248 days to be Sponsored! I felt God pulling me to Sponsor both of them. However, it's not just me that makes the money decisions. It's Us. Jonathan prayed and thought about it for a day or so. Then he also wanted to Sponsor both girls.
Eliana is in the Middle pic. She is 6 years old. Caro is in the bottom pic. She just turned 5 years old. I've already written them and sent them our picture online. The letter/picture will be printed and sent to them. The money spent sponsoring them goes to help educate them, feed them, teach them about nutrition, etc and most importantly it goes to teach them about Jesus. My heart is full. The girls live in a different part of Ecuador from where we are going for the Mission Trip, but I hope to someday meet these precious Children of God. Until then, I will pray for them, write to them, and love on them from a distance, and love on Jonathan and Mookie right here in South Bend, IN. God is Good! We are Blessed.
