This face is the face of love.....it is the reason we are OK about being broke most of the time....it is the reason we decided that materialistic items are less important....it is the reason we have relearn to celebrate holidays.......it is the reason we buy many of our items at second hand store.......it is the reason I proudly have a car with rust on it as you can tell by the pictures below.
You see just recently I got an email from a friend about a man with a brand new car that he cherished but one day a child threw a rock through his side window......when he got out of his car he began yelling at the kid.......the little boy with tears in his eyes he told him about how his brother who was in a wheelchair had
accidentally flipped his wheelchair and he could not lift his brother and needed help and knew this was the only way he would get someones attention to help him. The man was so moved he never fixed the dent it left in his side door because it reminded him of that moment that changed him..........the moment that made him realize that love was more important than any materialistic item you can buy.....even those from a thrift store. You see I am a very proud person.........and to have a car with the rust has been bugging me. We bought this car two years ago in hopes to adopt a special little girl and boy through foster care. That was not God's plan but I did not know that. I gave up my
GMC Envoy to make this decision for the better of a child........for love of a child. You see until that email I kept thinking I just wish I could have a car with no rust......it is embarrassing to me........yep proud....sadly proud. But now I am driving it around with the correct way to be proud......proud that it is there because it reminds me how much I love my daughter.......how I gave things up for Christ for His glory.........so yes I have rust on my vehicle but more importantly..........I would remain in this vehicle for the importance of any of my children. So if you are like me, and you were touched by God by the wonderfulness of adoption but you are struggling after you come back on your trip to pay bills or you are maxed out and unable to get a new vehicle.........smile because you are letting the world know.........God is calling you to do something for him that might not be what society would follow but it is your calling from Him.........remember Christ hands were "damaged" after his
crucifixion BUT would we have it any other way........or more importantly...........He would NOT have it any other way!!
