My heart is heavy

for this child. Isn't he precious? I was searching the Compassion website, thinking I would like to add to my little Compassion family, and his was the first sweet face I saw. And I knew. I don't have the means to sponsor him, but I just contacted Compassion to see if it is at all possible for me to correspond with him. He has been waiting for a sponsor for 190+ days. Can you imagine feeling like no one cares? Like you're not worthy of love? It absolutely breaks my heart.

I'm praying that I can somehow get to this little boy.

  1. Praying for you and for Jomarie. He is so stinking cute! Let me just go all crazy preacher lady on you and tell you right now that I am a witness to the crazy things God will do to provide for those babies. I never had the means to sponsor, not even the first one. But He called me to it, and He provides for it all, every step of the way. And read Malachi 3:10 :) All goes to say that if you feel burdened for precious Jomarie, don't be afraid to make him your own. If you know, you know. Nothing is our of the realm of the impossible. Keep praying, chica!

    1. Hannah, thank you for the prayers! It is so hard to just have faith that God will provide, because right now I have zero income. I'm going to pray about it some more, and then see where it goes. But I feel pretty strongly about it. I'll update :)

  2. I know how you feel. I started sponsoring my first child right after I started my first year of college. I also had zero income. I only worked a part time job every summer and what money I made then, had to last me the whole school year, which wasn't much after paying for school things. However, God always gave me the money I needed. When I knew I would not have the money that month to pay, a distant relative would randomly send me a check in the mail or I would find exactly $35 in quarters in a jar in the back of my closet. I believe that if you take that leap of faith and pray like crazy, God always provides.
