Joining in Battle

A battle rages.  God's heart is for the orphan, so it should come as no surprise that the Enemy fights tooth and nail against the orphan.  The orphans of Uganda are on the line in this battle. 

Please click on the link above and read the blog author's February 3 post.  If you can, take the time to follow the links she has on her post and read the personal stories of families in Uganda right now.

God is not the author of confusion.  He is not the author of the tangled mess of red tape that is causing so much heartache.  He is not the author of the confusion that child trafficking brings to the adoption world. 

Much of the red tape prospective adoptive parents must wade through, in international adoption especially, is a protective measure against child trafficking.  This is necessary.  But when the enemy reaches in and tangles the red tape into a snarled mess, true orphans suffer because of it.  Real children miss out on becoming part of a family.

Pray that the light of Truth would shine on this situation.
Pray that God will change the hearts of those in high places.
Pray for the families in Uganda with their children- that their faith will be strong, that they will be supported and protected by prayer.
Pray that more people will be raised up to pray.
Pray for God to be glorified. 
Pray!

For Him, for them, with love always,
Marcia

Thank you for your kind words on my blog. THat is actually really encouraging to hear about hydrocephalus. The weird thing is, you'd think with this being such a prevalent disorder that there would be more stories, but I don't have anyone I'm aware of around me who has it. So I really do appriciate the encouragment. Good luck with you and your family also!
