An Orphans Prayer

I am waiting...somewhere far...far...away on the other side of the world. I may not know who you are or what you look like, but some how deep in my heart I know you are out there. That one day you will come and find me. It's a long journey,and it takes a lot of time... I wish it could be easier. But I know that the ones who come for me will not count the cost. They will only see the joy of finding me. For now I abide in the fields of the fatherless. Day by day wondering why I was born here and not somewhere else? Asking....why my life couldn't have been different.


It is so lonely...Even though I am surrounded by hundreds of other children, I know something is missing... I know in my heart I need a place to call home. My arms long to be wrapped in a father's embrace..I long to be saved by a mother's love...


Gazing out the orphanage window I offer a prayer of hope,"Oh, God, please help them come quickly." Even as I lay there in the darkness each night somehow I feel assured, that no matter how lost I appear I am not alone,


Holy hands guard my steps, sacred fingers wipe my tears, touching my lonely heart. The one who made me, the God that knew me before I was born, hears me every time I call. He whispers his promises in my ear. I listen with hope to His voice.


But what I worry about most is that no one wants to look for me. The fields are vast and there are so many scattered all over the earth. I wonder how one little child, so lost can be found?


Yet he calms my heart and assures me,that He will find you. That he will make sure that you hear His voice clearly. He has promised me that He will make a way through the fields. That he will personally cut a path,and lead you right to my orphanage door.


My prayer is... When he speaks... Please don't forget to listen... When he calls don't be too afraid to go. For I am waiting somewhere, far,...far...away, on the other side of the world... TO COME HOME!

One Blood, One Race

    Our family had a very enlighting experience at the Ken Ham talk on "One Blood, One Race" last evening! It is interesting what a person will unknowingly digest from a culture that is completely false and inaccurate in many forms.  Being convicted of areas of complete ignorance I am inspired to write this and publish it, other than for my own outlet of thoughts and ramblings! 

     We have recently been taken from a completely caucausian family to a bi-racial family in the conviction of adoption of two young girls from Haiti.  I would not consider ourselves or our children to have been racist in anyway, with the exception of course of comments made such as "the blacks always being better at athletic behavior" or "there are several chinese kids in our childrens class this year" etc.  We also would take to the mindset of keeping the marriage of two people the same color and race.  After last evenings talk, we were convicted of being quite wrong in the analogy of the Bible and what it says about race and wrong as well in the culture that we have been brought up in. 

     We have much to learn from our history, but our history is in the past. The time to look forward is now. Each of us must act within the sphere God has given us and not wait for someone else to change the system. And whether in personal actions or systemic change, we must look to the cross of Christ to bridge the racial gap.

"For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, by abolishing in His flesh the enmity . . . so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace Ephesians" 2:14-16.
