A Promise

"Every call has a beginning...
 
a quiet moment when God whispers a promise to a mother's heart,

a holy place where a father bows and faithfully accepts
the journey set before him.

A miraculous morning that unexpectedly dawns,
casting it's first light on a chosen threshold.

A gentle knock...a closed door opens.

A sacred invitation sent by the Father leads to the other side of the world.

Where lonely hearts stare out orphanage windows
praying for someone to care...

And then one morning, on an ordinary day,
an orphan's life changes. God sends them a second chance.

Through you."

And your ears will hear a word behind you, "This is the way, walk in it", whenever you turn to the right or to the left. Isaiah 30:21

Psalm 139:13-16

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
