The term "anyday now" has become quite a laugh around our house. We have had alot of "anyday nows" as we've sat in a wait for a long period of time, however, God has done a work in our hearts. Not one of the Newsom clan is the same.
As God has opened our minds and hearts to the cry of orphans, we do not ever want to go back to who we were 16 months ago, 8 months ago or even 4 weeks ago. As we have sat in the wait, God has impressed His word upon our hearts about His love for the widows, orphans and oppressed. As i have cried out on behalf of my children all the way across the ocean, the Lord has placed the sound of many more in my ears.
Knowing what i know now, understanding the statistics i now understand and seeing God's Word for what it means in my life, i can no longer be silent as millions of kids go to bed every night with NO earthly mommy and daddy and NO voice. It is a blessing to live where i live with an undeserved privilege of being able to speak freely for those who cannot. So i will not take it for granted. He has been preparing our family our whole lives for "such a time as this".
This week in Bible study i shared a saying i read in the book "A Hole in the Gospel" by Richard Sterns that said, "It's not the size of the dog in the fight that matters; it's the size of the fight in the dog."
Well i can guarantee you our household has gotta lot of fight! Hope you'll join us! LeAnn
