{my easy load}

So, I was kind of a whiny baby the other day.
I'm done with that {for now}.
I have MUCH to keep me busy
and to be thankful for!
I'm ecstatic for my friends
who have precious babies
waiting on the other side of the world for them!
------------------
I'm a music person.
Lyrics and music speak to me.
I can't get away from this song:


So, I'll just keep singing this song and think about
my "easy load".
------------------
His Hands {obviously} is still heavy on my heart.
 They need such a seemingly vast sum of money 
in such a short amount of time.
Did you know that His Hands has
processed 45 {FORTY-FIVE} adoptions
in less than 5 years?
FORTY-FIVE children
have gone to loving homes
where they'll learn about Jesus' love
and how He died for them!
And this doesn't include
the countless hurting, scared mothers
that they've taken in--
given them somewhere to live,
shown them the love of Jesus,
supported and counseled them in their decisions
to either keep their precious babies
or make the heartbreaking, selfless choice
to give them up for adoption
when they themselves couldn't care for them.

"So, what does this have to do with me?

 What can I do?"
--you might ask.

His Hands needs YOUR help to
keep ministering to these mothers
and the sweet babies.
They need to come up with a
large amount of money
in a short amount of time.
What can you do?
Well, do you see that new little Chip-In thing at the
top of my blog?
That's how you can help.  You can donate.
There's no set amount.  ANY little bit helps!
And tell your friends!  Spread the word!
People can't help if they don't know there's a need.
THANK YOU!!!

His Hands Taiwan


Taken from His Hands Taiwan facebook page

Many of you {okay, ALL of you} know that we are in the process of adopting again.  We are adopting from a ministry called His Hands Taiwan, Inc.  We adopted our sweet Mia from them and they are simply AMAZING!  This SUPER SWEET photo was just taken of the babies that are there now.  In addition to finding these babies loving homes, His Hands also ministers to the birthmothers.  They give them a safe place to live and counseling to help them make these monumental, life changing choices that they must make.  Whether they choose to keep their baby or give it up for adoption, His Hands is right there with them every step of the way--loving these precious birthmommies and showing them Jesus' love as well.
 
What is my point in all of this?  Well, there's been some changes in the laws in Taiwan.  All of us in the adoption community know how that works.  Countries change laws concerning adoption ALL the time.  Well, now His Hands needs YOUR help.
Please read their latest newsletter HERE
and DONATE if you can.
ANY amount will help.
You can also help by sharing any of these links on your facebook page, twitter, blog, ANYWHERE!  The more people that know about the need is more people that can help.
God bless you!!
