David Platt quote

Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They are easier to ignore before you see their faces.
It is easier to pretend they're not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes.
David Platt

“Once our eyes are opened, we can’t pretend we don’t know what to do. God who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know and holds us responsible to act.” Proverbs 24:12

Time passages

So because I'm not from the US I can't check / see any agency stuff, but have been told the little man I was praying for was matched via an agency (Holt Int told me but couldn't tell me any more, which i SOOOOOO understand and I'm thrilled they gave me that much)

I just asked that a message go to the family that they know he was hedged in prayer during the time they'd have been planning their paperwork. I still think of him and wish him the absolute best but can't do anything more but pray, which again, I understand.

But .... if anyone's agency shows a recently matched family for a little boy with albinism, he's the one. I don't know what I want anyone to do, I guess just confirm he definitely has a forever family? I have his DOB but won't put it here....I know I won't meet him and I don't want to freak anyone out thinking I'm a "creeper", I just hope they know how blessed they will be... as I had such strong heart tugs for him, and God continually prompted me- he is, I'm sure, an awesome kid.

I also know that the new family don't need to know. 
That it was between me and God and that's fine, but a little part of me just wants the secret sweet connection to stay. 
Not that he stay in China, but that I always feel the connection to him.
Does any of this make sense? In my muddled up mind it does.  :)
