About Me
- Calico Sky
- Previous owner of a larger adoption blog I shut down. Previous adoption attempts, former foster carer/parent. A girl from the land which finishes each sentence with eh, living and loving life in Europe, with a desire to do those life changing things like travel, adopt, volunteer and have simple happiness not derived from keeping up with the Jones' but from living to make a difference instead of participating in consumer culture. I'm a Lord loving, Bohemian like english rose. Yes a strange combination! Follow my life under the calico sky as I move back to my "home and native land" to adopt. Third time lucky? Let's hope and pray!

How could anything prepare you for such a thing?
Keep calm, carry on and kiss every child for me.
God is shaping your heart through this experience, my friend. I know you know Him well enough to trust Him in this. Let His Spirit fill you so that you can bless those you are with with His love.
I'm praying for you.
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows."
I don't know what you are experiencing, but I know He is there with you. Praying for Him to give you strength and peace today.
I have been praying for you daily. I know that you will need more strength than you have ever needed before. Just remember that you are loving a child through their journey to heaven. No one could play a more critical role in their lives right now. Just love them even though it rips your heart out. You can do this. You are special beyond words and there is a heavenly reason that you are there.
OH, Honey... you and the babies have been on my heart and in my prayers.
"not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord..." In your weakness Jesus is made strong. He will be the one holding your heart as you hold theirs in your arms.... you are His vessel that He is filling up and POURING out.... it is painful... more so than I can imagine... but the gift you are giving these precious children is more precious than any other.... I can't imagine being a tiny, abandoned, helpless, dying child and no one is there to hold me, to love me, to tell me that I matter.... no one there to tell me about the love of Jesus and where I am going..... they may not be able to understand your words.... but as you hold them in your arms, as you rock them and try to soothe their tears.... as their little hands wrap around your finger tightly.... they understand that you care... that you love them... that they are not alone... that they matter......
God equips those He calls..... honestly dear sister.... you may not feel like you are equipped but you are.... first and foremost you are equipped with the love of Christ Jesus.... and secondly, you LOVE THESE CHILDREN.... third, you are willing to have your heart broken for the sake of them....
You are beautiful and how I thank God for you...
God's peace.... and God bless the children....
Love,
Daleea
My goodness, praying for you. For the right words, and the perfect touch for all the kids.
Sending good thoughts your way...
Wow. I am praying for you. God is working through you.
Hang in there. These babies need you...and through your tears, you'll allow them to experience the greatest gift of all...to be loved by someone in their last moments and to not die alone.
(((HUGS)))
