Ann traveled to Little Rock, Arkansas to record six radio programs at the ministry studios of Family Life (three programs for Family Life Today with Bob Lepine and Dennis Rainey and three programs for the women’s ministry of Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Leigh DeMoss, which will broadcast at a later date). The shows focused on the importance of God’s Great Commission and being a “Mission-Minded Family.” It was an amazing experience! Thank you for your prayers (and thank you, Jesus!!!).

Jen, thanks for following our “story” and for sharing your love and concern for this family who needs help. I can hear the cry of your heart. It’s a good example of how God has given you His COMPASSION (click here for a short audio about compassion).
You mention how the specific need for foster care and adoption is “messing” with you. Wow. You know Jen, whenever God begins to “move us” or perhaps “mess with us” in the gut level (as this word “compassion” indicates in the Greek – splagchnizomai (splangkh-nid’-zom-ahee) – to have your bowels yearn), we shouldn’t be afraid to respond. When God gives us His compassion, or His heart, for something in particular, I believe that it’s always a two part gift; when God “moves” us to respond to a need, He won’t leave us with no way to do anything about it. As we seek the Lord, He will provide all the resources, and grace, and at times other people who can help us. Sometimes that second gift of provision won’t show up until we step out in faith, but God is absolutely faithful . . . and His heart is grieving for so much that is happening in this world.
Where God guides (and I’m speaking in regards to responding to that gut-level-compassion He gives us for others) He will provide. May God lead you and provide for you, Jen, and for all that you are praying and believing for, in regards to this family. Thanks for sharing your heart!

Extreme Makeover: Jesus Edition
Because I am leaving a comment on your page, that means I am a “follower” of your story I am not a random person just posting for posting sake.
I don’t know if this breaks blog etiquette or something. But I am risking it anyway.
I have posted a blog called “Extreme Makeover: Jesus Edition” about a family that needs our help.
Go, read, if you feel led.
Side note: for you adoption/foster advocates, there is another post that is “messing” with me if you care to check it out and comment. It is the previous post and it is called “Living Freely: Foster Care and THE CHURCH”
Hear my heart fellow bloggers, I am seeking nothing selfishly. Just trying to do the will of the ONE who sent me. Praise the Lord!
