What a Surprise!

Every.  Single.  Day.  I look at the online orphan database in Konner's country to see if there is a new picture of him.  

Every.  Single.  Day.  I touch the screen and say a prayer for him.  

Today, I clicked the link in my favorites to bring up his profile, then I opened a new tab to check my email.  After I read my emails, I clicked back to the first tab, and my jaw dropped.  My eyes instantly filled with tears.

There he was.  All grown up...a big three-year-old!

He still has the same sweet smile that he had a year ago.  

He's still waiting.  

If you've been thinking about Konner, wondering if he might be your son...consider this your sign!

Are you afraid?  

Afraid that you won't be able to raise the money?

Afraid that he might not be what you expected?

Please, don't let fear hold you back. God hasn't given us a spirit of fear!

Do not be afraid, for I am with you;

I will bring your children from the east

and gather you from the west.

I will say to the north, 'Give them up!'

and to the south, 'Do not hold them back.'

Bring my sons from afar

and my daughters from the ends of the earth --

everyone who is called by my name,

whom I created for my glory,

whom I formed and made."

--Isaiah 43: 5-7
