I'm no Super Hero...Just an ordinary Girl

                                                      I'm no Super Hero!


I'm just an Ordinary Girl

Doing ordinary things

For the Glory of the Lord

Cause he is my super Hero!

People very often compliment me how great I am doing what I do for these kids & thanking me over & over for my heart for these kids. But you know what?
I do what I do because God says so in his word to care for the widows & the orphans! 
I'm not perfect, I'm just an ordinary girl trying to follow Gods command by

Caring for the orphans.


We can all do something to help! It made a difference to this one.

I want to tell you how powerful prayer is! Prayer is so very important & it costs nothing but your time. It matters & makes a difference. Even if you can't financially support those adopting or these kids waiting, you can pray!
I pray every night for them cause I know its a way I can help without costing anything but my time.

Besides Prayer being important, advocating is too!
Facebook has become such a big tool for the world of Reece's Rainbow why not use your facebook to help? You just never know what a Share might do! It cost nothing but a simple hit of the share button! So SHARE, SHARE, SHARE!!!
Whether it's Facebook or a blog SHARING MAKES A DIFFERENCE TOO & it also costs nothing but your time!

Lastly, if you can't adopt but want to help another family by advocating/fundraising for them. Host a yard sale to fundraise

Or go crazy & offer to go a different color of hair like I did last year for Quinton!

Or collect change to be the change!

It could be as simple or crazy as you want just do SOMETHING TO HELP!! PRAY, ADVOCATE, SHARE, ADOPT!!!
Like I said, I'm an ordinary girl living in a ordinary world trying to make a difference one orphan at a time. Won't you?

Blog Blitz Sunday-LONGING, LONELY, & LOVE


Today I am blogging for those who have been listed for the longest on Reeces Rainbow. These kids have waited & waited & waited to be noticed & we have decided to do our part to help to get them noticed! Just picture yourself in their shoes for once, would you want to spend your whole life in a crib all day?
First of all is Millie, remember I wrote about her for Teamwork Tuesday then that same day someone donated $1,000 to her grant? I think this girl deserves to be SEEN! Is she your daughter?
                                                 Lonely that's what I am

Meet Arina P., I have noticed her before but have never really blogged much about her til now.
She has longed for a family her whole life

Can't you see the LOVE in Tara's lovely eyes & smile?

Last but not least my two beautiful butterflies whom I have come to Love, Cora Lynne. I fear the worst as her eyes look so daunting

And the beautiful Celine, who I am sure longs to be the fun & spunky almost 8 year old daughter!

I am sure this girl will make your days even brighter!

I have written about mostly Celine & Cora Lynne lately so its nice to spread out a little to other kids that need families. All these kids have been Longing for years of when their dream would come true, Being alone is never fun, & they all want to be loved. Sadly it breaks my heart all over again not just for Celine & Cora Lynne whom I know have been listed for at least 2 years but for all these girls.

These Girls deserve to be loved, treasured, & valued for who they are. Find your daughter at the end of the rainbow click on their names to find more information about them!

Proud Little sister to Pink Princess!

Friday, my sister who happens to rock that extra chromosome decided to do the unthinkable, she decided she wanted a little adventure by trying inner tubing for the first time! Pink Princess (her nickname & what I will call her on my blog) For Pink Princess thats HUGE, she really is different from a lot of people sporting that extra chromosome. Its okay we still Love her even with her differences, I have mentioned it before her having Down Syndrome is not as much as an issue as her social phobia or other things that make her herself. Anyway yesterday, I issued a challenge to help another little boy do the unthinkable by helping him come home to his forever family well that goal was matched for little Nicholas to get a plane ticket to his new family! So heres my sister having the time of her life! Pink Princess, you truly have come along way & makes me want to cry to see you so happy! Love you so very much! Reach for the stars cause if you set your mind to it you CAN DO IT! I want to SHOUT TO THE WHOLE WORLD, THESE KIDS ARE WORTH IT!! THEY DESERVE TO HAVE THE FREEDOM JUST LIKE PINK PRINCESS!!! See kids with Down Syndrome may be deemed worthless & can't do anything in this world but I want you to SEE WITH YOUR OWN TWO EYES, YES THEY CAN, YES THEY CAN, YES THEY CAN!!!





                             
                               Now who says that smile is not the best thing in this world?

 So those of you who did not know, I also challenged if my friends got the Unroe family adopting 5 adorable kids including Nicholas got fully funded I would post the short video clip of my sisters fun time. Say what? THEY ARE FULLY FUNDED!!! I'm not budging til these kids are home, lets bring them home so they can try new adventures & reach for the stars like Pink Princess! Oh did I mention they are traveling in MERE DAYS!! Let's get this adventure FINISHED!! Nicholas got his plane ticket but still needs to come home along with his 4 siblings!!
For 9 & a half year old Nicholas who has been living in a bad institution since he was 5 years old


For 5 yr old Aleisha & 6 yr old Keith. Yes he is that old & in a bad place they both deserve to be rescued & loved.
                              
                                          For precious Anita 
                                     
                                                  Last but not least princess Ahnja

I will write up what I wanted to write later today so don't be surprised if their are 2 blogposts from me today.

You say, I inspire you well I say YOU DO FOR ME! You are the ones that keep me going as well as these kids! I'm not going to stop yelling for Reece's Rainbow or the kiddos listed with them! I respect your opinions, but please respect mine. I have had several local friends who have brought kids home which I would have never met had it not been for Reece's Rainbow! Andrea R. rocks!!! I mean come on 500+ kids home in 6 years!!! So if your going to be negative go right ahead to make my day brighter again :)

The commentless blog

Okay I don't know whats wrong but I have had several good blogposts lately & yet to hear from anyone about them. I honestly know not everyone can comment on everyones blog & I truly know people are reading without leaving a comment most times which I am not hurt by at all about not many leaving comments as I know you have your lifes to live. But really not even a "friendly" comment from a beloved "friend" since June 24th? I know I was boring for awhile being gone & not knowing what or how to write but still really? No opinions about anything?  I know I am not one of the "coolest" or "popular" bloggers blogging everyday nor am I that great with words but I try. I am proud of myself in the way I have grown since starting this blog which was only a paragraph for each post but now has gotten more involved. Each time an idea pops into my head for a blogpost I try to either blog it or write it down right away otherwise I forget what I was going to say. Today I am going to happily reshare some of my blogposts I feel are some of my best posts as of recently cause they are just worth sharing about again!
No Matter What Trust God!
Cliff Jumping & Matching Grants!
Scrapbooking for the Menges-this is a fundraiser for another family!
The Family of Bears Portrait
6 Years of Life Changing!

So if you have never read my blog starting reading with these or start anywhere in the past but these are so good! I would love to hear your thoughts on those posts! In my comment box below I made a lovely suggestion of asking questions so feel free to ask! If I have an answer to the sibling questions I might just send you back to some of the blogposts I have written but I will certainly try my best to answer whatever questions you might have!
