Calling ALL friends.. mine needs you..

Sonia is fundraising for TWO older boys.. her SONS .. they live in Ch*na. and.she.wants.them.home. China has said YES!!

one way that you can help is to get your verse on ;o)

go to her blog: www.cheaperbythehalfdozens.blogspot.com/2010/05/wild-olive-adoption-tee.html

or maybe just send her a blessing by prayer, a check or cash, a bench for her back seat in the van so all the boys fit, or perhaps God is putting something even bigger or better or smaller and better on your heart.. little adds up to big. I don't want to limit you ~

Pass this on to as many people as you can!!

Prayer is powerful.

WATCH GOD MOVE on BEHALF of HIS PEOPLE!

Part 2 - long overdue... cowgirl and SingOff

Mom, I have to talk to you NOOOOOWWW!!!!! in all her girl drama living large!
Cowgirl was reading her bible and came directly to the passage that showed her the name[beeelzebul, beelzebub] describing them as 'prince of demons' in Mark, Matthew and Luke! pages flipping, pages flying and the computer came out next- dad came into the picture to help out and To say that she was distraught is a slight understatement. She was broken. It was an excellent lesson in the Holy Spirit leading her and her heart listening to Him. It was a lesson in paying attention when God calls us to listen and look for a wolf in sheep's clothing! I absolutely hated seeing my daughter broken yet I absolutely loved seeing my daughter broken. I loved being able to watch God in my daughters life because it was the most amazing gift from our Savior to watch unfold. The brokenness in her eyes to the light shine when she came to realize her Lord was calling her and protecting her. The excitement of her love for Jesus and her dislike of the prince of demons!
The true brokenness in her heart over the boys in that band b/c most likely they did not know the love of Jesus or that they turned from Him. She mourned for them. She is 9. she blows me away.

Be still...

Over the past few days we have been watching "the Sing O*f"" on NB@. Mainly bc my cousin's child is in the Voices of Lee (from Lee University) and we have been having fun watching him sing!! There is also a very "fun" group on the show- they sing well, perform well and have a overall charisma that entertains the masses. I have heard both Flyboy and Cowgirl say on different occasions it was fun to watch them perform as well.
On the last night of performances Cowgirl said, "I really like their name. (which is beelzebub's). I suppose I wasn't paying attention.. not putting two and two together... just wasn't' thinking!!! I was putting ALL my attention on Voices of Lee.
That night, Cowgirl laid in her bed reading the bible and I was in the boys room tucking them into bed. She came-literally screeching, into their room- 'MOM I have to TALK TO YOU NOW.'
Part 2 tomorrow...
