God's Timing

Ok everyone have you checked out the grant amount for Brent over to the right? over $15k that's right! Since we blog blitz Sunday his grant grew over $5,000. What a blessing! Thank you to everyone who donated and is helping him and his forever family. Brent's sweet face and grin is enough for anyone to fall in love with him. But  money is  often the reason why some of the children are still waiting.

It's just not right it should not have to cost so much to save a life and give a child a chance to live and be the person God created him/her to be. Because no doubt they have a purpose in this world! They certainly have touched my heart to do whatever I can in my hands to help them. What impact have they made on you?

God is showing his mercy on Brent...and I can't wait to see the plans he has for him. I often inquire about him to see if anyone is coming for him. Only to get my heart broken over and over to hear no one is. I check in on the My Family Found Me page  in hopes of seeing him on that everyday. And Brent is still on the Waiting Children page on Reeces Rainbow and it gets so discouraging. When will someone come forward and rescue him.

And then it hits me just look at what God has done for Brent this week, be patient and wait on God's timing because God answers prayers! He's never late and He never fails us. Today we must celebrate his timing and his provision.

Still they wait!....Blog Blitz



There are lots of people shouting out for lots children listed on Reeces Rainbow. Many have special little ones that have stole their hearts and have committed to advocate for them till they find their forever family. Some have been blessed to have found their family and some are now home! But others have been passed over one too many times.

Maxim
  
This blonde hair, blue eyed little guy is  Maxim he looks so ready to play. Born with Down Syndrome and strabisnus in both eyes which he struggles with and has a significant tongue thrust. But with help of a family, surgery/glasses this can could be corrected  for him! It has been updated that  Maxim is doing wonderful and is getting physical and swimming therapy and walking short distances.  Maxim needs a family to show his sweetness and how alert and attentive he can be. He is patiently waiting for his mom and dad to come please don't keep him waiting. He is just waiting to light up his families life!



Yegor

Yegor is another blonde hair, blue eyed  little one with Down Syndrome who has been passed over, just look at him. He is absolutely adorable, how oh how has he not been found already. He was born with VSD led to pulmanory hypertension. He has been blessed to have had corrective surgery and is doing fine. But he still needs a family so much so he could benefit to seeing a cardiologist to ensure that any hypertension can be controlled or if futher correction is needed. Yegor is in one of the easiest regions to adopt from Won't someone please consider him!



Ivan

 My goodness look at Ivan with his dark brown hair, and deep brown eyes calling out for his mom to hold him. Little Ivan has Cerebral Palsy he is not able to walk he is a favorite and a family to his little guy will make a big impact on his life. If he is not adopted he surely will be bedridden for the rest of his life. As it usually is for all these children who have these disabilities with no one hold them and help them.



Abbott

Abbotts picture makes me want to run and hold him...Poor little guy he looks so confused. He is described as a very kind and cheerful child. He easily finds common language with adults and children. He loves and understands different kinds of toys. He does not speak well, but is easily understood. Abbott is active likes to run, walk, and see new places. Now with all that said about him he has been moved to an Institution and there has not been any information on how he is doing. How heartbreaking to know that this child full of life is shut away for the world!



Emmitt

Emmitt is 14 one of the oldest listed here who so desperately needs a family. Not only because of his need, but if not adopted by 16 he will age out and not be able to adopted at all. Emmitt is kind and intelligent sweet boy, he is said to be very talkative, funny and friendly. Born with Spina Bifida and a severe deformity of his legs and cannot walk at all. He so desperately seeks attention. Please don't let Emmitt get lost and lose his opportunity to find his family. He has been in an Institution many years and yet still remains sweet.



Brent


Now here is a familiar face on my blog! Brent is another one who has been passed over too. My heart breaks for him and all the children listed who continue to wait. He is the reason I yell! he along with the many children as the ones listed here are the reason that We shout, and want to be heard! They need to be seen, they need their forever families! And by we I mean all the people who have joined together today to Blog Blitz for love! so that all these children may be passed over no more. All the children described in my blog all have different needs, and  sweet loving hearts that need attention. Help us help them by sharing them too!


Please come check out more blogs here! who are shouting out for more passed over babies today!

Rescue Me!




This little guy you see in this picture is Sasha he is 8 yrs old and very much still a baby. There is not much that he can do, he has Down Syndrome and possibly CP he is considered very delayed. He rocks himself in strollers and cribs to keep himself occupied, and do you see his picture with his tongue? He has teethmarks on it from chewing on it from boredom.

No one really knows if he is autistic or has CP or other birth traumas as described in his profile. The caregivers can't do much with him so he soothes himself. Sasha is 8!!! and just look at his size!!!! He needs to be rescued!! He is now a " Lost Boy" he has been transferred to a remote institution, where it is not possible to get additional information on the children there. Making it difficult to update how they are doing once sent to this horrific place!


Please don't forget about me!

 Sasha has been doing nothing but laying in his crib with no one to hold him and comfort him and he has learned  to do so himself. The institution he has been transferred has absolutely nothing  for the children to do there, but sit around all day in sheds, as they rock themselves, and hit one another, and moan.

Won't you please share Sasha  today? He needs you and me to help him get out of a place he should never be in the first place. He needs love and attention more then anything in this world, if not adopted he will surely be bedridden for the rest of his life Please don't forget about him!

Seven

What does the number seven mean to you? To this little boy it's how old he is today...Brent is now seven, but he is not surrounded with gifts, a cake with candles, or a family. Brent is spending his Birthday in an institution again, for the past 6 years this is what Brent has been doing on his special day.



And he is still smiling.......



He should not be spending his time alone. He should be getting hugs from his mom and dad and kisses wishing him a Happy Birthday. He should be opening presents and eating cake and ice cream with his brothers and sisters. Brent is tiny for his age, fits in toddler clothes he needs to get out of the institution. I recently heard  that he is working very hard at  learning to ride a tricycle.






My heart breaks for him as he has been waiting so long to be found, I am sad that today he is still waiting.



Brent as a toddler when he first got listed for adoption


6yrs old


I don't know what Brent is feeling today. Does he know that today is his special day that God created him so perfect just the way he wanted him.  

Psalm 139:13
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.


What does the number seven mean to me?....Seven of course is spritual perfection and so adequately represents the Holy Spirit itself. But also seven is the seal of God, he stamped his approval of creation by resting on the seventh day. God rested on the seventh day because his work of creation was complete, entire, perfect.

In Genesis 2:1-3 it says " Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sancified it; because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

This is what comes to mind when I think of seven, it holds a meaning to me as God created everything and everyone perfect. Brent is perfect to me, his pure little heart and innocent look in his eyes is like looking at Gods face.

So on this day I wish Brent a Happy Birthday, I look at his smile and it gives me strength to keep sharing him and praying that he doesn't have to spend another year alone.

Moving Mountains



Moving Mountains is what everyone who advocates for these children on Reeces Rainbow want to do. They want to move the mountains for that special child who has captured their heart.


"Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than those, because I am going to the father. I will do whatever you ask in my name so that the father may be glorified in the son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." John 14:12-14

Here are some of the children listed on the Moving Mountains  on Reeces Rainbow this page is for children whose grant fund have reached $2500 or more.

These children above have huge adoption grant funds available towards their adoption through Reeces Rainbow....People who have donated and fundraised for these child have made a big impact and are helping them get to this page. Being moved to the Moving Mountains  page gives the waiting children more exposure for them to be found! God has been moving mountains and raising grants....where is their families!!!

It's so hard to even scroll down the picture profiles and advocate to for just one. But today God has layed all these children above in my heart to pray for.

"Truly I tell you if anyone says to this mountain, Go throw yourself into the sea, and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours" Mark 11:23-24

Seems like forever..

Seems like forever since I have talked about "my" little guy Brent. But I sure don't forget him, I pray for him everyday. God has given me the comfort to know he is being well taken care of in the institution he is at by receiving one on one care with a nanny. And soon I will be able to send him some things for him to enjoy playing with along with things he needs Thanks to Life2Orphans. But Brent is still in desperate need of his family! This little guy is full of life and love.



Just look at him on this bike!
