I want to adopt internationally. That's it, that's what I want to do. Specifically here, a child from Swaziland. The only problem now is I want to adopt Nicolas. A five year old boy at the orphanage I have been living at this past month. Everything about him I just adore.
When Nicolas was three years old his mother left him and his little brother locked in their home. She had left food around the house so that the boys would still be able to eat.Her hopes were to get a job so she would be able to support them, but she did not tell anyone about what she was doing. So as time had passed by food had run out and I am told Nicolas had been trying to find food for him and his little brother Calvin, but it was gone. Nicolas had managed to find a hole and squeeze his body out and by only the grace of God was able to get help. What had happened, that was not expected was that Nicolas and Calvin's mother, in her search for work had passed away due to AIDS. Where they were then placed in El Shaddai's orphanage.
In such a tragedy that also displays God's hope for life, for purpose, and the love He has for those two boys. It shows the Lord's heart for the orphans. From the smallest of ages he takes care of those he loves. Of those His heart adores. Which makes me question, where is my heart? Do I carry the Lord's heart or have I shut myself off to what he loves and made an imaginary world where he only loves those I say he could love?
