Romans 12:2

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

TEAM ESTHER

I can hardly wait to introduce the "TEAM" that will be going to pick Esther up and bring her home to her forever family. Of course God's purposes are sooooo much bigger and higher than ours, and I just have to say something that applies to each of the 6 people going to pick up our precious daughter.... each are amazing servants of the Lord. In each person that is going, there is a different desire and a different reason for going, but EACH ONE HAS THE SAME PURPOSE AND DESIRE as well.
That purpose and desire is to serve our mighty Lord in a MIGHTY way. The Lord placed something in each person an individual reason that just fits each personality as well. The Lord loves each of our unique personalities, gifts, and abilities and He can use ALL of it for His purpose, when we just open ourselves up and are willing to do "crazy" things at times.
It is amazing how the Lord put this team of people together in a flash, and it wouldn't fit any more perfect if we would have spent 10 years planning and organizing.
I'm in awe of the willingness to spend thousands of dollars, jump on a plane, go halfway across the world and go serve some precious little orphans. These orphans do not have a voice, but they do have God who said He is the Father to the Fatherless, and I believe He is the one who places the desire on these people's hearts as they go and BE THE HANDS AND FEET OF JESUS. The funny part is they will each go to be a BLESSING and they will end up the most BLESSED of all. It's cool how that works.
The team also has plans to visit and bless several more orphanages with a helping hand, donations and just a heart that wants to love on some of these kids.
They will also participate in Amazima Ministries feeding program. This is a ministry that feeds hundreds of children.
They will also plant a garden, and build a rocket stove and a basketball hoop for the kids at Redeemer House!!!
AND ULTIMATELY...................BRING ESTHER HOME!!!!
Those of us staying home will be spending the week preparing for her arrival!!! YAHOO!!

I love it that THEY will be blessed, and WE will be blessed, and ALL those they minister will be blessed, all because of one amazing God. Can't wait to see them - although it's getting harder and harder to thing of Esther leaving. But last night when I told the kids Esther had her passport, they cheered! Everyone is happy for Esther!
