This Week's Waiting Kids!

Update! Sara has found her family! Thank you, JESUS!

Hi everyone! I want to focus on one precious little blessing this week.

This is adorable Jonathan! He is with BAAS, and is about 18 months old. Oh my goodness! He must be a very, very, very sunshiney little blessing! Just look at those pictures! Here's what's written about him:



Updated report on Jonathan (December 2010):



Jonathan was born in October of 2009. His special needs are cleft lip and palate; hernia. He is being cared for at the Half Sky program.
His weight is 7.30kg, height is 71cm, and his head size is 46cm. His chest size is 46cm, and his number of teeth is 6.

He can sit on his own, stand holding onto something and take steps holding hands with someone. He is bright, curious and good-natured. He loves to smile and communicate with others. He understands instructions and loves to listen to music.

Jonathan is from Luke's orphanage (and just as a side note, that orphanage was very good about corresponding with us when we asked through care packages). He is so young! He could be adopted and grow up with an earthly family (because Jesus is our Father, of course, if we ask him into our heart) and hopefully know his Heavenly Father!

Please pray for Jonathan.

Pray that, if it's in God's Will, to please give this beautiful child a family.

Please pray and ask God if this little guy or another orphan might be your child.

Pray for any families that might be considering Jonathan; pray that God will give them wisdom and confirmation on whether this is their child or someone else's, and pray that he will give them courage to face whatever the adoption of a beautiful orphan may bring.

Please pray that Jonathan will come to know Jesus very early on in his life so he can share The Good News with those around him; nannies, children in the orphanage, and everyone else he knows.

Pray that He will help Jonathan if he is bullied or looked down on, and ask Him to help Jonathan to have courage and endurance and hope through HIM throughout the time he is in the orphanage.

Please pray and ask Him to help Jonathan battle his special needs and keep him safe, blessed, and provided for, and that he will stay healthy and have the best care possible.

Please pray for all the orphans, in China and other countries, all the people who need HIM, that they will be blessed and provided for and protected and that they will know Him.

Please pray for the new Christians and the missionaries and pastors in other countries to have faith, courage, hope, love, protection, provision, and blessings in their life and that they will be very, very, VERY close to God.

Blessings,
Joy :)

This Week's Waiting Kids! :)

All of these BEAUTIFUL children are two and under, most from BAAS and some from Lifeline.


First is sweet Howard, who is a year old, about to be two in May. He's with BAAS. Here's what's written about him:




Howard was born in May of '09. He has repaired cleft lip and un-repaired cleft palate. He is described as an active and bright child with a ready smile.


Next is adorable Jenna, who is also with BAAS and is almost a year old. Here's what's written about her:




Jenna was born in March of 2010. Her special need is postoperative congenital anal atresia. She had surgery in May of 2010 and received “rectovestibullar fistula repair and anoplasty” under GA and the surgery was successful. At present she recovered well and defecates normally. In November of 2010 she had a complete physical exam. The final diagnosis about her: rectovestibullar fistula repair, postoperative congenital anal atresia, congenital deformed cranium: absent callosum, foliaceous holoprosencephaly, dilation of cella lateralis. At present Jenna has plump face, red lips and fair skin, and she looks lovely.




Now she has good physical development, has 2 teeth, can roll over, can raise her head, can walk alone quite steadily, has some grasping ability, can grasp the small toys near hand, can visually follow moving people, can respond when her name called and will shake her head to express refusal when others give her the food she does not like.


This is precious John, who's a year old and is also with BAAS. I am not completely sure he is available, but, here's what's written about him:

She cannot sit as steadily as before the surgery and will need to rest just sitting for a little while. The orphanage took her back to the hospital for recheck and was told the surgery was not a problem but it would take a while to recover.

After operation his general condition was good. He is being cared for at the Philip Hayden Foundation. He is a lovely and active little boy.

Please pray for these kids. Some of them with the more major SN's, such as CHD, B Thalassemia and such really need to get out of China to get good care. If you want more info on them, leave a comment with your email and after I read it, I won't publish it, for your privacy. :) Also, someone left me a comment requesting information on sponsoring some children that I had on a post, but they left no way of contact for me. Can you please leave me a comment with your email? Thank you! :) If anyone wants to sponsor, let me know and I can get some info to you! Just leave a comment with your email address, and, again, I will not publish it after reading.


A quote for you today:

"I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is writing a love story to the world."

Jesus loves you!

This Week's Waiting Kids!

So today, I want to focus on two kids, both from BAAS.


This is adorable Johnathan, from BAAS, who has cleft lip and palate.



He is from Luke's orphanage and is being cared for by Half the Sky. Look at that smile!! He was born in October '09. His special needs are cleft lip and palate; hernia. Here's what's written about him:


He can sit on his own, stand holding onto something and take steps holding hands with someone. He is bright, curious and good-natured. He loves to smile and communicate with others. He understands instructions and loves to listen to music.




On his original file, he could do things like locate a sound or voice and visually follow moving toys,

and was described as active, restless, quick-reacting, impatient sometimes, and closest to his caretaker. He also was described as having a ready smile.

This is precious Kai, who is six. Here's what's written about him.




Kai was born in April of '04. He was admitted to the SWI in April of 2010. He is fond of communicating with others. Under excellent care and nursing of the staff and live together for several days, he adapts to the environment in a short time. While being familiar with the caregivers and children, he is outgoing, has strong ability of imitating, likes playing games with the other children, often sweeps the floor with a small besom, helping the caregivers to tidy the toys and baby walkers.



He is very helpful, restless and active, intelligent and fond of study, knows the number of 1-10, can count from 1 to 100, knows the addition within 10, can write his own name down. He is fond of communicating with caregivers, often runs and jumps with his fellow friends, and has enthusiasm for learning. He accepts to new things fast, can help his fellow friends, quick in reaction, lively and outgoing personality. He has strong self-care ability and is able to dress, sweep the floor, mop the floor, do the dishes, fold up his quilt all by himself. He is fond of meat and candy.





So, if you haven't figured it out already, Kai was given to his orphanage somewhere around his sixth birthday. Very sad. :( It seems as if he's adapted very well, though. Don't you think he'd be a wonderful, easy going, sweet, smart little boy?


Keep these kids in your prayers, please! I've got a few blog posts coming up! I just have to proof and schedule them!


Blessings,
Joy :)

Faithful Fridays!!!!!!




Hi, everybody!!!!!!! Happy Faithful Friday!!!!!!! I hope you are all doing exquisite!!!!!! Now.....you may ask, "why in the world is Joy doing her post in green?". And here's your answer......I wanted a change!!!!!!!! HAHAHA!!!! Ok....back to Faithful Fridays....

**********************************************************

This week, I'm thankful for......well......Ok, it's not just one
thing I can say. I have to go into a little story...so...here goes!!!!!!

Well, I started noticing some weird feelings in my stomach a week or two after I got over the flu. At first it was really bad. I prayed, prayed, prayed, and prayed some more, until finally, on Saturday I think it was, my stomach started feeling just a teensy bit better. It didn't really hurt anymore..... it just felt like a nervous or upset stomach. My mom mentioned taking me to the doctor. Now, if you know me, I absouletly, positively, undeniably, DO NOT like going to the doctor. I cried constantly, not because of my stomach, but because of my worry. I was worrying myself to death, until finally, On Easter Sunday, I just flat out told mom to take me to the doctor and get it over with....so she did. Turns out, I need more fiber in my diet(I'm a picky eater), and some meds, and hopefully it will turn out ok. Now,
you don't know how worried I was and how much my mom and I prayed that I:

#1, would get my favorite doctor

#2, wouldn't get the mean nurse

#3, wouldn't get my throat swabbed

#4, wouldn't get my nose swabbed

and #5, wouldn't get a shot.

GOD, LORD, IMMANUEL, KING OF KINGS, LORD OF LORDS, JESUS, SAVIOR, GREAT COUNSELOR, ANSWERED ALL THOSE PRAYERS AND EVEN ADDED SOMETHING EXTRA.......I GOT CALLED BACK WITHIN THE FIRST 30 SECONDS I WAS THERE!!!!!! NOT WAITING-ROOM TORTURE!!!!!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYA!!!!! PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!

Please continue to pray for me, because I'm not completely back to normal. But, man...GOD is great!!!!!!!!!!!

If you participated in Faithful Friday, leave me a comment so I can try to stop by and see along with other participants. Sorry for not doing it last week, folks.

Thanks!!!!!!

Blessings and love,
Love, Joy =D

Faithful Fridays!!!!!!!




Hi Everybody!!!!! I'm so happy to see you here!!!!!
So.....I'm going to do Faithful Fridays. This week, I'm REALLY thankful I feel LOTS better. Now, I'm still tired and just a teeny tiny teensy bit stuffy, but the cough is almost gone, and I don't have any fever(THANK YOU JESUS), and I feel really better!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, JESUS!!!!


I noticed a few people have asked me what Faithful Fridays is, and I haven't replied. SO, Faithful Fridays is where we share an answered prayer, something GOD has done for us, or a prayer request, and we share our faith in GOD!!!!!! You put my logo/button up there at the top of your post and come and comment on my post to let me know you did it. I'm sorry I haven't gotten it up sooner. Please forgive me.

Ms. Molly's Grandson, Connor, has had a few health problems, so please keep him in your prayers. Thank you.

Blessings,
Love, Joy =D
