Simeon has a family!

Oh my goodness oh my goodness oh my goodness!!! Simeon has a family! Now I'm the one grinning ear to ear and jumping up and down. I can't even believe it yet. My family and I have been praying and praying for him to find a family. I've also been asking God for the past couple of days if I could see one of the kids from Orphanage 42 on MFFM. Then, this morning, my mom looked on MFFM and found him on it!!! I am so happy!!! I believe with all my heart that God answers prayers and He did!!!! God is so good!!! Please pray that the adoption goes well and that everything goes smoothly.

This is Channah. She is almost 10 years old, and she has CP. I'm assuming that she is still in the orphanage because her profile is still on Reece's Rainbow and she is not on MFFM. If you click on her name then you can see her profile. Please pray that she and the other children on Reece's Rainbow will be adopted by loving families.

Darina and Ivan Fundraiser

Noel has a family! I am so happy for her! I've actually been watching the My Family Found Me page to see who has gotten on there lately. I also saw Reid on there. At first, when I saw him on there, I was happy for him. I told one person I know who loves him the news, and then I learned something that made me feel sad. I learned that he, along with a couple other children, were taken to another orphanage by a priest. Now, here's why I started to feel sad. Because he was taken to this other orphanage, he can't be adopted in the United States. Even though it may be a good orphanage, I still didn't feel right about it. After I heard about it my mind kept going back and forth between happy for him and sad. I'm still going to pray for him, even though I may not know what's going to happen to him in the future.

There is also a fundraiser going on for one more week for Ivan and Darina. We are going to be selling 31 bags. 25% of the profit is going to go into their grants. There are backpacks and tote bags. For the rest of June, if you buy $35.00 worth of items then you can get a large tote bag for $10.00. This is great for moms who are looking for new backpacks for their children before school starts. Here is the link:

Please keep praying that these children will find forever families.

Amazed

I am so amazed. I still can't believe it even after almost 24 hours. The video has made such a big impact already. I mean, within an hour of posting it there have been many comments about it. (Good ones, not bad.) I was actually crying when my mom told me some of the comments.

 This just shows me that when God wants you to do something, you do it and leave the results with Him. When the idea first popped into my head, I really liked it. When it kept on popping in my head I knew that it was God telling me to do it. I also knew that if I didn't do it then He would be pushing me to do it. So I knew that I needed to do it and soon. And I did it! (with my sister's help too) So, if you are ever called to do something, and you know it is God calling, don't wait! You just go out there and do it.

I still hope and pray that God will use the video to help these children find families.

Me and CP

I finished the video! Yeah, I know it's been a while, but I finally finished it! I'm so happy! I hope and pray that God will use the video to help these children find families. Wouldn't that be wonderful? The link to the video is right here. Please share it with your friends and have them share it with their friends.
Reece's Rainbow Cerebral Palsy Adoption Video

Lately I've been thinking about my own experiences with CP and therapy. I know from experience that therapy does wonders for a child with CP. It can help them by improving their CP from severe to mild.(or in my case, very mild) I think if I had been born in a different family I would not be where I am now. Aren't God's plans wonderful? When I was younger I never would have thought that I would be blogging and advocating for children with CP just like me. I fully believe that God allowed me to have CP for this reason, and maybe many more.

 All through my life I've always wondered why God allowed me to have CP.  Now, in 2012, God has shown me why I have CP and why I have very mild CP instead of moderate to severe CP. I have to say it's a blessing to be where I am now instead of where I could have been without the therapy I've had and the family I have. It shows me more and more how much God loves me, and, to sum this all up, it's amazing!

With God all things are possible

I'm am now officially officially Darina's Guardian Angel! Yes, I said that a while ago, but now it's officially on her profile!

 Darina and Carolina's money is going up also! Oh, that makes me so happy! Could we get Darina up to $100.00? Higher? What about Noel, Marla, Missy, Natalee, Carolina and everyone else? Could we get them up to the sizable grants page? It would really help them when they get adopted. For example, more people will see them. Then, if it's the right family, they will get adopted by that family. Wouldn't that be great? Please keep praying for them.

BTW I'm still working on the video.

Matthew 19:26 NIV Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
