Why I Love Orphans
Hi everyone and Happy New Year!!!
I feel this year will be full of promise and God's blessings. Lately, I have been thinking about the true reason behind why I help orphans. My work for Him comes from three main principles:
1. Wait for HIS timing. Waiting on Him requires patience, it's not always easy, but who said following God and having patience would be easy?
2. TRUST His plan for me. Trusting in Him is the basics of faith! When you trust Him, you are showing Him you believe in and want His plan for your life.
3. I couldn't let a problem go UNANSWERED. After hearing about orphans and the daily struggles in their lives, I couldn't just stand back and watch. I wanted to do something more. Helping orphans, I believe is what God is asking me to do, now and in my future life. These children mean to much to me, as a teenager I know what it means to have a good home, a warm bed and nice clothes. They don't have that and I want to give them some hope of a brighter future. I have visited some of the homes I have built and it means the world to me to see smiles on their faces. It means more to me than the amount of money I have raised, being on TV, or receiving awards for the work I am doing. To me, it means I have given them a hope that the future will be better and that there is a God who loves them.
I have been creating and selling cards for 7 years to raise money to help orphans through the Global Orphan Project. My newest card is a butterfly painting I created...You can view and purchase the card HERE!
As the new year begins, what might God be asking YOU to do??
Thank You Again,
