Foxes Have Foxholes - Whistle Blower [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

This is a great song on the feelings of a child solders. Many people have heard of the whistle blowers. This song is about them specifically. For those who have not heard about them they are young children who are forced to be on the front lines and blow whistles in order to distract the opposing army.

The Truth About Adoption

This a great music video by Third Day. They put adoption in a right perspective. Adoption is not just charity to a less fortunate child. An adopted child is just as much a part of a family as a birth child. In the same way we that have been adopted by God are his children just like Christ.

Rom. 8:15-17
For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!" The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs--heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

If you would like to explore this top more thoroughly I would suggest reading Adopted For Life by Russell Moore.

Does Immigration Help World Poverty?

I was made aware of this video clip though an email. It talks about how immigration is hurting the impoverished people of the world and how if we really want to make a difference we need to infest in local leaders, who are willing to stay in their countries and change them. It is only 6 min and it will be well worth your time.

A New Year

Another year has come and gone. Looking back it was a year filled with change and taking steps toward the fulfillment of my hearts desire, aka caring for the fatherless. Those steps include getting connected with the Christian Alliance For Orphans and it’s member organizations, reading several books on caring for the fatherless, and changing my major at Liberty Univ. to Family and child development. Also I have meet many families that have adopted or are in the process. I became the vice-president of the International Justice Mission chapter at Liberty as well.
I am very excited about this upcoming year. There are many opportunities on the horizon. One of which is a possible missions trip to a Ugandan orphanage. Also, I am going to try to go to the Summit VII put on by the Christian Alliance For Orphans. I am going to try to be updating this blog more with what I am doing as well as the usual news stories. Please pray that God would continue to provide the finances for school and other things he calls me to do. Have a great beginning to the year.
