I don't really know who all reads my blog or where they are from. What their gain is, if any, from reading what I post. I do know that this morning it is not my words that God wants me to share... they are words from another. We will see the results of what we do with our time, voice and our abilities when we stand before our Savior Jesus Christ one day.
In obedience to His sweet and gentle voice I am blessed to recognize this morning, I am posting another's post with a plea for prayers for a boy.... almost a young man, who is running out of time! I know there are prayer warriors out there who will be on their knees for this boy. I know there are families wondering if in fact, God is calling them to adopt an older child. I know there are people who "know someone" out there that has already been called to care for the orphan through adoption that may be "waiting" for the Lord to speak to them. IN all of this.... I know and believe that
1 Corinthians 12:12-26
12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For we were all baptized by[c] one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
15 Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
Please read the post below and do what the Father prompts you to do! It is not what I expect or ask, it is what He asks of you! Peace!
NINE DAYS TO FIND HOPE!
When I finally found a few minutes to catch up on my e-mail today, I scrolled down reading each and every one of them.
Many were the same.
A plea! Desperation!
"Please, please help this boy!"
There were a lot of them.
A community of people crying out with all of their hearts for one young man who is running out of time. Each day that passes gives him one less day to find hope.
And a home.
And the family that his heart is longing for, yearning for!
Today I am joining my voice with this amazing community of adoption advocates who care so deeply. Because this life matters too!
As of today, Sebastian (not his real name) has only NINE DAYS to find a committed family!
NINE DAYS to be chosen.
Sebastian with Nicole, an adoptive mom, whom he met earlier this year and who was there on a mission.
Or else?
If you have read here for a while or been involved in older-child advocating, you will know. You will understand the sad reality that faces these precious children when they leave the relative safety of the orphanage walls.
The statistics are almost too much for the human heart to fathom.
Predators who wait on the other side.
Evil lurking.
Waiting to steal, kill, and destroy.
Absolute hopelessness!
An amazing adoptive family met Sebastian just a few months ago. He captured their hearts with his sweet heart, tender ways, and his love for Jesus. This young man followed them around and would not leave them alone--just longing to be near. To be loved. To be accepted.
And a plea of his own....
A letter to Nicole thanking her for helping him find a family.
"Nicole, thank you for helping me find a family. I am very grateful to you." ~From "S"
The absolute desire of his heart.
But unfortunately time is ticking and every day that passes gets him one day closer to that certain hopelessness! But like "Johnathan" (who is now Andrew and is home and thriving), this one too deserves the love of a family--the opportunity to love and be loved and given every opportunity under heaven and earth to become the man whom God has created him to be!
Please, please share this young man's story today! As the body of Christ, we can use social media for good by spreading his story to the ends of the earth and standing and trusting that a family will rise up before it's too late.
What kind of family to do we need?
They must have a completed home study and preferably a dossier for Ukraine--or be willing to do an extension for him. The family MUST commit before he turns 16 in just nine short days time!
Impossible?
Of course not! God's Word tells us that NOTHING is impossible for the Lord God Almighty!
Not even this.
Anyone wanting more information from someone who has met Sebastian, please contact Nicole at diveshark@yahoo.com. For all inquiries about his adoption and the legalities, please contact debbie@reecesrainbow.com. Serious inquiries only please!
Standing before the Red Sea and waiting expectantly for the Father to part these waters...FOR HIS GLORY!
