2010 is my year. The year to take the things I am most passionate about and make them happen. For me, those things would be Faith, Family, and Adoption. I am passionate about seeing people live out their relationship with God in a way that compels others to desire the same. I want to see my family continue to grow closer to each other and I want to see my kids and husband reach their potential and fulfill their dreams. And then there is adoption, if it were up to me, I'd probably have 20 kids living with me. I have such a passion and desire for kids to grow up in a safe place knowing they are loved. This is the year I am going to live out my dreams!
I'm going to start an Orphan Care program. A program that would improve the quality of life for orphans locally and globally. A program that would allow families to connect to these kids. Maybe families aren't interested in adopting, but they'd love to be a grandparent to a lonely hurting child. I'd like to facilitate these relationships. I'd like my children who were adopted at 9 and 12, to regularly desire to make life better for other kids who've been in touch situations.
We'd like to become foster parents as well this year, however, that will require a slightly larger house, but we're working on that too. We're working on getting our house all gussied up and pretty so the perfect person will buy it and we can move into something a little bigger that will accomodate more kids. I know what I want to do, I know what I want to be, and I know that BlissDom can offer me the extra information and inspiration I need to meet my goals.
Will it be easy to start an orphan care ministry, become foster parents, and continue blogging about ways parents can save time, money, and their sanity…probably not. But usually the things worth working for don't come easy! I know that the Steaz people know firsthand how it feels to see your nearly impossible dream come to fruition and I'd like to see that happen too! If you're not familiar with the Steaz people, visit them on Facebook here.
PS Steaz people if you're reading this, I would be very happy if you picked me.
Disclosure: This post was written in a desperate attempt to get the Steaz people to send me to Blissdom!
