I found this blog and was thrilled for your family to find out your sister is home...I met your mom in Uganda. Thanks for posting our video about little Sam and Esther...it was a shock to come across it "by coincidence"! God is amazing. They are well loved now and living in Kampala, although their needs continue to be challenging. They are teaching those around them though, that God says we are valuable even when the world walks away. :-)<br /><br />Blessings, Laurie Kroll<br />www.village2villageproject.orgLaurie Krollhttp://www.village2villageproject.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254045746887851687.post-2125244967543182052010-03-08T08:29:18.958-08:002010-03-08T08:29:18.958-08:00What a beautiful post and a moving video, Grace. ...What a beautiful post and a moving video, Grace. I'm thankful for you and pray for all of you every day, as you/we let the Lord lead us on this journey. It has been a blessing watching you grow into the beautiful (inside and out) young lady you are and are becoming. God has a special plan for your life, and His timing is perfect. To God be the glory; great things He has done!

At the time we were struggling with the financial aspect of adopting although we knew that God was leading us to Africa to find our little girl. Guess what? Because of YOU and your post that day we are almost finished with the paperwork part of it all and there will soon be one less orphan (or two if God decides that). YOU were my inspiration!! And guess what else? I am so glad that you are part of such a loving family that has guided you to your love for God's people--no matter who or where they are. And guess what else?? I had no idea at the time that you were a young lady (that you were actually writing in your mom's place at the time)---You are wise beyond your years. Thank you for sharing your heart with honesty and love, sweet girl.<br />~Kendra~Kendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09940754394594870352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254045746887851687.post-51832648727999303822010-02-21T20:59:51.931-08:002010-02-21T20:59:51.931-08:00what a great post..AND how lucky you are to have J...what a great post..AND how lucky you are to have JLove in your family teaching you so many valuable lessons :) kristiKristi Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14639293095200720758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254045746887851687.post-39678534988029909412010-02-21T20:27:57.489-08:002010-02-21T20:27:57.489-08:00Oh sister, keep on preachin!

One of the best things that I see right now is the new generation that the Lord is rising up to boldly advocate for the orphans of the world because their lives have personally been changed forever by a new brother or sister via adoption! I can see you and my Avery working side by side one day in Africa. :)emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16167513814805350359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254045746887851687.post-78809261879393896022010-02-21T19:09:04.541-08:002010-02-21T19:09:04.541-08:00Thank you so much for sharing!

He keeps saying, "Taylor, their yours." My family is one of the last families you'd expect to adopt, but that's according to them. God has commanded us all to care for the orphans and widows. This post encouraged me soooo much!
