Category Archives: Orphan Hosting – NHFC Alright–remember the most precious kiddo I shared about needing a family just a couple of weeks ago??? Do you hear the angels singing??? Because Dzintars life is about to change forever!!! Head on over to my friends blog HERE–the family who hosted him this summer through New Horizons and rejoice! THIS handsome fella… …is orphaned […]  It’s been just over a week since we took Princess T to the airport–and it’s taken me just over a week to recover and start to get things back in order. Our world literally stood still for 5 weeks as we poured into this sweet princess. The children have needed more of me this past […] Andrea I have followed this journey word-for-word ALL summer! I am in tears! I can’t wait to hear Part 2 of the amazing Princess T story…and you have really made me want to host an orphan one summer! I just love the way the Lord always turns HARD into AMAZING =) wow. just wow. why am i surprised when God shows himself to be the glorious God that he is??? i love the way you love EXTRAVAGANTLY just like He does. i have been struggling just to love the ones God has entrusted to me each day. it hurts me to admit that. but you inspire me to love with His love. thank you. This is a day I think pretty much everybody in the room will remember for the rest of their lives. When the final story is told, it will be difficult to explain away the entire sequence of events as anything other than God’s Perfect Planning. oh dear, the tears just gushed out of my eyes the whole time I was reading this. What amazing things HE hath done! I also can’t wait to hear the part 2. This made me think of Isaiah 55:8-9. His ways are soo much higher than our’s! What a PERFECT description of adoption. It does turn you screams of “WHY?!?” into “why am I so lucky”s. I just found your blog through a friend and I am glad that my kids are going to their grandmother’s after church. Now I have time to read your story! Can’t wait to dig in! I hope your day is blessed. You have surely blessed mine. Praise the Lord!!! This story is so beautiful. Can’t wait to hear the next part : ) Thank you for sharing your heart with all of us through this incredible journey! I may not “know” you, but I feel like l do!! For someone with adoption stirring in her heart, your candid openness is very helpful and refreshing! Thank you!! Blessings to you and yours, and Princess T, as the Lord continues writing your stories! Love this. You are right…not easy…but beautiful. Feeling blessed to follow your journey, and convicted to continue stepping out…following His whispers. Don’t know if you’ve seen what this family is doing in order to get their host child back…it seems to be similar in situation to what you guys were facing. http://theredmonjourney.wordpress.com/ Continuing to pray for T and for all of you who love her! I’m anxious to hear what God is up to and the possible plan He may have in place! But I also wanted to share the other blog in case somehow that might also be a possibility if somehow it might be helpful!  Hopefully it won’t be much longer and I can share with so many of you who have been praying for T–and what the Lord has in store for her. IT IS GOOD STUFF!!! But there are a few more hoops that must be jumped through and details that must fall into place–so we want to […] Praying for her! Can’t wait to hear about what God has planned!! Oh how wonderful are HIS works. Excitedly following your journey and testament of faith. Quite an amazing family you have, such sweet children of GOD, faith in motion, opening your hearts and home to T, what a tremendous blessing for you all. Praying for T and all the Lord has planned. Praying for all of you!!! Can’t wait to see what God is going to do in all of your lives! Oh my goodness, I cry every time I read one of your posts about sweet princess T! Praying for her right now!!! Praying, praying, praying!!!! I cannot wait to hear what is in store for her. ABSOLUTELY PRAYING! Our family has continued to pray for her since I first read about her story!! I know God has an amazing plan for her! I never even knew about hosting until I read your blog..We financially can’t do it right now, but as we get older, and more settled it is defiantly something we are thinking about doing along with adoption! God Bless your family! You are reaching more people then you even realize =) Praying for you and your family! I can’t wait to hear what is in store for T!! One of my New Horizons friends hosted a 14 year old boy Dzintars this summer. We got to know each other through the New Horizons for Children board–and it was amazing to see how this kid responded to family and their love. HE IS AMAZING! Dzintars truly THRIVED with Maijian crew this summer–and it was […] Thanks Andrea!!! You rock!!! Determined to see this kid in a family one way or another!! I shared your post on my blog. My readership is small, but who knows who might be the right person. Thank you advocating for this young man. Blessings. Stacy, My husband and I have read everything you’ve posted about Dzintars and are very interested in learning more about him. We live in California and are just starting the adoption process. Any info you can give us to lead us in the right direction to get more information in possibly adopting him we would so appreciate. We will stand beside you in praying for him. Also, could you please tell me where he is located right now? Sincerely, Stacy, One more thing, I noticed on the web site for New Horizon that they require an 18 year age gap, well my husband and I are 31 which would be 17 years older then Dzintars. Do you know if it’s a tricked policy or if there is a little leeway? Some times you go into something thinking you are going to make a difference…and instead–you come out being the one who has changed most of all. I know every person in our family would say this–we are forever changed by the little girl who lived in our home for 5 weeks this summer. We put […] Andrea, I am sure your heart must be grieving in many ways. Thank you for sharing every detail of this journey together. I have enjoyed traveling with you and witnessing God’s miracle from afar. He is not done with the story yet. I believe there is still another chapter waiting to be written……. Have a great loonngg nap!!!! Please tell me what song it is that is in this video. Who sings it? It is beautiful. I noticed it in another video you have of T. She was singing it and could hear you singing it as well. I thought of T, you and your family today. I am sure it was a sad day. I am very sure it is easier said than done, but try to think of it as more of a “see you later” than a “good-bye”. Blessings You have made a difference in this young girl’s life that will grow and spread to others in ways none of us can even imagine today. Thank you for sharing her with all of us. Praying for you all! Cannot wait to see what God does in this sweet girl’s life. What a blessing! I would love to get involved with this. |
