These last few days I've been praying about him. I couldn't help but feel like he was meant to be mine, even though I hardly thought it was possible to sponsor him.
To go back a little bit, I never did mention this you guys. I was praying a week or so ago, and God pretty much told me that this was not the right time of my life to be going on my church's mission trip to the Philippines. I was absolutely disappointed. But, God put it on my heart that my time, money, and energy were going to be used elsewhere in my life. I accepted it and I figured I would be waiting awhile to find out what God had planned.
Nope. It took a week. He put this boy on my heart and took off with the idea.
Just now, during my lunch break, God put it on my heart to write out my budget on a piece of paper. I did. I turns out that I would be able to sponsor another child. There won't be much money leftover each month, but hey, you can't take it with you when you die, right?
So without further ado: here is my beautiful new child:
Florenc looks so sweet! I'm soo excited for you!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree! When I saw him I just fell in love with him. Then a friend of mine, who is an advocate with World Vision told me that he has been on the site for literally years. She's watched his picture change every year. I just knew I had to do it.
DeleteYou have such a big heart! He is a cutie.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I hope my heart wasn't too big and I can still pay the bills. Haha.
DeleteWhat a sweetheart!! God will bless your obedience to him. Looking at that little guy, I believe he already has :o)!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!

Oh, I totally agree. Every time I look at his picture my heart just melts. He looks like such a sweetheart. To think of him waiting for over 2 years for a sponsor just breaks my heart.
