How God Answered a Passion He Put in Me for 10 years. Part 2

From the pictures you can see that God will always be our provider (Jehovah Jireh) "And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19 NLT).

 When God puts a passion our hearts, he provides all what is needed to accomplish his plans. The question is: Are we willing to obey our Savior?

It was such a blessing to be at this orphanage to deliver the toys on time before Christmas. I told the kids how I had been praying for them for years, long  before some of them were born.  I explained the story of how God answered my prayer and provided the toys for them.

The most important thing was not the toys but the gift of Christ at Christmas.  “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him." (John 3:16, 17 NLT).

 Also, I explained to the children that God gave us his only son at Christmas as a gift for our salvation. "Who is this who comes from Edom, from the city of Bozrah, with his clothing stained red? Who is this in royal robes, marching in his great strength? “It is I, the lord, announcing your salvation! It is I, the lord, who has the power to save!” "(Isaiah 63:1 NLT). Although they may sometimes feel alone, God loves them and is with them always.

 I reminded them that whenever they pick up a toy, they should think about Jesus and how he cares for them and loves little children. But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” (Matthew 19:14 NLT)

Just as I tell my children; "when ever they are afraid just think and say Jesus!" Yes! He is with us and there is power in the name of Jesus. "Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, (Philippians 2:9 NLT)"

What is more amazing about this passion is, not only was it an answer to my prayers but also an answer to prayer to the sponsors of the orphanage. Last year had been a very stuff year for them. Their Spanish sponsors were going through a crisis and could not provide Christmas gift to the kids year.

They prayed daily that God should bless the the kids with Christmas gift. On our side, we prayed that they should accept our gifts for God placed in our hearts to do this. When my husband and I walked into their office and told our story of how God had answered our prayer and provided the toys, they were in awe. 

You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it! (John 14:13, 14 NLT)

Isn't our God awesome!

42 and Pregnant! Yes! Glory Alleluia!

  Hello there, It’s been a while!   How are you doing? I pray this finds you in good health and a happy state of mind. If not, cast all your cares to Jesus, he wants you to do life with him. It’s been a while since I wrote on this blog. A lot has happened since the last time we communicated. We all went through the pandemic. What a crazy season that was. I was talking to my husband the other day and truly felt God gave us a jubilee year(a year of rest), to restate and refocus. What the enemy meant for evil God turned it for good. I know many of us lost loved ones which is very disheartening. May the memories with them always bring us joy when we think of them. They are gone but never forgotten. They’ve become our cloud of witnesses if they died in Christ right? In my last communication with you I shared about the behind the scenes of every picture. What we see is really not what may be going on although pictures are worth a thousand words. If you did not read that post I encou...

How I met Prince Charming!

Image
Everyone has a story of how they met their Prince Charming. Yours maybe be more exciting than others. Or maybe, more awkward than others. Well, let me give you a chance to make the judgment in my situation. January 2007 was when it all started in South Bend Indiana. For those of you who don't know, January is the coldest, snowiest month of the year with icy roads. As the weather forecaster always says, "if you have no reason to be outside, stay indoors." For several years, I made it a habit to journal  important events in my life . Specifically, to look back with a thankful heart and see what lies ahead of me.                                   (we are no ordinary couple, we have a supernatural deliverer, Jesus Christ.)   January 30th is a big deal in my little world. As I sat alone in my empty apartment, I could hear the echo's of my breath. Usually, waiting to receive a call f...

A Mother's Bond

The connection we have with our children  is very powerful. The bond can not be broken. It is a love like no other. A love that speaks from the heart with a very powerful intuition. God made us carry them in our bodies for almost 10 months. This pregnancy process is a bonding mystery. Feeling the baby move and it can actually respond when you talk to them. I remember my babies giving me kicks of assurance when I asked if they are ok in there. What a magical feeling it is. The bonding continuous as we hear the first cry that pierces our hearts, nursing them, waking up at night and going through days with very limited sleep. Stirring at them to see if we'll see a body part actuall grow instantly. All the smiles and crying only builds up a stronger bond etc. We get soo attached to them that even leaving them home with our husbands is scary. Yet, we have to trust God and pray that we meet them alive when we return. I realized that this mother child bond is the same way God wants us to ...
