loving our neighbors...




That is what God called us to do. Simple as that. Don't try and conquer the world just what is in your sphere of influence (your neighborhood). So on Friday Nya and I just did that. We were able to go to crisis nursery and help feed and hold some babies. There are about 33 orphaned babies there and there are only about 5 workers. So we go love on the little ones because the workers don't have time to sit and rock and cooo at the them all. So Nya is holding Maggie who is about a week old or so and I am holding Manuel about 3 months... It is overwhelming at times to go there. We were there 2 weeks ago Nya held a baby named Ruth. Which she fell in love with... We found out she died of an infection about 2 days ago. Heartache is an understatement. There is no words to describe loss of life. Just knowing that we have to believe in God's Sovereignty even when it doesn't make sense at all. We just know that we can help in loving our neighbors and He ultimately reigns in over all the earth. here is a picture of her with my friend Bethany last week...

Continue to Pray for us as we love our neighbors and make a small dent in this world even by being able to hold and kiss on God's babies... And as we continue to trust in God that He is in all things even death.

love you and loving babies- amy louise

Amy,
I want to come love on those babies. Are they babies that are going to be adopted out to families or will they stay in orphanages/or go back to family?
