Ten At A Time

Putin signed.

As of this morning - the ban against Americans adopting Rus*ian children takes effect.  You can read more about it HERE.

Yes, I am ill over the news.

Yes, it makes my heart bleed.

Yes, it is causing me to want to rant and rave against the powers that be.

46 families right now are down on their knees pleading before the throne for their children.  Those babes are THEIR sons and daughters.  They have passed court and need only to go get them.

So many others who are in different stages of the process are also pleading.

I'm pleading with them.  Crying tears as I type over the injustice of it all.

I want to rant and rave. 

I want to say words that would not help but only harm.

I want to cry out for all the voiceless ones who have become pawns in the hands of men.

So many babes.

Please keep praying.

Please.

It is in the darkest of times that we realize how utterly dependent we are upon the might and power of God.  We cannot move in the hearts of man but GOD CAN.  

Please pray church.

Cry out to the Lord on behalf of the thousands upon thousands of babes across the ocean who are wasting away behind closed walls.

Oh Dear Lord!

Despite everything....

With a weary heart and yet a refusal to quit - I'm starting a Giveaway today.

It is insane and ridiculous which tends to be typical of me.

But I refuse to believe that the 700 children on Reece's Rainbow are lost forever.  


So as the tears run down my cheeks....

Here's the deal... 

I have TWENTY FOUR Gift cards!

There are currently 123 babes on the Angel Tree who have not made it to the 1,000 wall.

Every single time 10 children go over the wall.... I am going to be giving away TWO Gift cards.

20.00 Target card
Two 10.00 Memoria Press gift cards 
50.00 Reward Yourself Gift card 
25.00 Barnes and Nobles Gift card 
50.00 Kohl’s card 
50.00 Anywhere card 
25.00 Anywhere card 
25.00 Anywhere card 
10.00 Starbucks card 
Two 5.00 Sonic cards 
10.00 iTunes and 5.00 Best Buy cards 
10.00 iTunes card
25.00 Michaels card
$50 Barnes & Noble card
$50 Target card
$50 Gap card
$20 Starbucks card
 $25 Cheesecake Factory card
$25 Olive Garden card
$50 Visa card
$50 American Express card
$25 Old Navy/GAP/Banana Republic gift card
$50 Outback Steakhouse card
$25 Anywhere Gift card 



How do you enter?

Just donate to a child who is UNDER 1,000 on the Angel Tree.  
Every five dollars gets you an entry.  Every child gets you an entry.
(ie. 50.00 to 5 children = 10 entries + 5 entries = 15 entries)

If you share you get another entry!

EASY.

WE ARE GETTING THE BABES OVER TEN AT A TIME. 

We are donating to ALL the children regardless of country.  We are believing that the doors that just closed will open again.... We are donating because families from OTHER countries can STILL adopt where doors have just closed.

We are getting the babes over in a statement of defiant faith.

TEN AT A TIME.

I'm keeping count.

Leave a comment with your FIRST and LAST name - what children you donated to and how much!!  I will not post if you request me to keep the information private!

Last night I was questioning the craziness of doing a Giveaway in the midst of the chaos in Rus*ia.

Yesterday morning 65 children were still under 500.00 on the Angel Tree.

That was a MASSIVE amount of kids who hadn't even made it halfway.

GO SEE HOW MANY BABES ARE UNDER 500 AS OF THIS MORNING.

I'm not telling.

GO LOOK.

Take part in what GOD is doing.  He's Alive people!!  He's not abandoned these babes and NEITHER WILL WE!

TEN AT A TIME. TEN AT A TIME!!

DONATE SOON... LET ME KNOW.....

  3. I would just like to say thank you for the update... it makes my heart grieved.
    But God does know about this and it is no surprise to Him. God is still sovereign. "For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God." (Rom. 13:1) Paul wrote this when the rulers of his day were ungodly and unjust.
    We will be praying for God to have MERCY, and open a door for these precious little ones... even though perhaps it may be in a different way than we think.
