<strong>First off</strong> it has been almost ONE year since I've been in Ethiopia. Since I saw the things I saw or met the people I met or hugged my sponsor child. It seems LIKE FOReVER ago since I was there but then I feel like I just got home. Weird I know. <br />

End of the school year is always crazy it seems!;) <br />
<br />
<br />
Was thinking of this song today, so thought I'd post it for some of you that will read this! ha! <br />
<strong>"Take your story to the world"</strong>.....love that phrase....its so true. Coming back from a mission trip is life changing and you want to TELL EVERYONE TO GO so they can also see for themselves BUT also that you can<strong> "take someones story to the world".</strong> <br />
<br />
Anyways, so close your eyes and listen to the words....<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />song is by Meredith Andrews- "What It Means To Love" <br />

A simple yet complex, declarative sentence. A truth I am "banking" on as my daughter, Ava, and I embark on a little adventure. Do I have your attention? As most of you know my brother and sister-in-law are in the process of adopting a little boy from Ethiopia. Excitement continues to build as their travel date is quickly approaching! Their desire to follow God in obedience to "care for the fatherless" is soon to be realized. I have no doubt God's faithfulness will continue to guide them as they become his forever family. As I have followed their journey I have been praying about how our family could play a part in getting our nephew home. As most of you can relate I desire to teach my children to look outside of themselves and their desires and care for the hurting. This is where "little is much when God is in it" comes in. :) It is a small project but nonetheless it is something Ava can be a part of. I realize there are some of you who do not have children or do not have girls. BUT I'm sure many of you have friends or family who may want to participate. It's all about word. of. mouth! :) </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"><strong>Details</strong> and <strong>Disclaimers</strong>: *The items pictured below are for "sale" from April 1-May 1, 2012 for donation only.

He lavished on others....just like Christ lavishes on us. So, my Dad and Mom for sure have lavished on us each year. I have many FAVORITE and memorable gifts that I'll never forget....including Capri my poodle. <span style="font-size:78%;">(I had to add her in there....:)<img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 213px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691705904429669762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7990eZ0hWoL54QY4AihDSCVNVW3HzbZM5ZLve3IKnleVv67daerwjtBg1UyUjdfO-alZtVakZ3KeYlnvYXq6LcCQydVanQkZUkOgDCtnJ9AjKjUi8ojnqN8cvusQTaYZT1uyRCH6P_fA/s320/capri.jpg" /></span></div><div> </div><div align="center"> <strong>But</strong> <strong>the</strong> real <strong>reason</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>this</strong> <strong>post</strong> is to tell you about a gift that I received right before Christmas this year....it's one that....touched my heart....not because someone thought of me....BUT because.... they are lavishing on others and meeting needs for those truly in need. I have no idea who put the card in my box at church and I'll probably never know...but one thing is true...I will forever be thankful and I'm sure the children in Uganda will also be forever thankful!!!!:) My prayer is that the Lord will bless you over and over for blessing these children.

All of a sudden so many scenes/pictures/thoughts of Ethiopia all came back to me and I thought to myself...am I doing my best to SPEAK UP for them...to help them?<br />I know its the end of November which means "Orphan Awareness" is over. Right?! You won't speak up for the orphans until next November. Correct? Hmmm.....Well, I pray that if you are reading this....that you won't let that happen. <span style="font-size:130%;">Lets</span> keep speaking up for those who can't speak up for themselves. (Prov. 31:8)<span style="font-size:130%;"> Lets </span>help those that are in need. Whether they are thousands of miles away or ten minutes. I pray that the Lord will speak to you and make it clear on how HE WANTS you to serve those in need or how you can stand up for those that are <span style="font-size:85%;">too little</span> to speak up for themselves.<br /><br />I hope that you all had a blessed Thanksgiving with friends and family. I know I have much to be thankful for that the Lord has given me! I'm excited that my nephew most likely(and Lord willing) will be sitting with us at next years Thanksgiving dinner! :) Ahhhhh!:)<br /><br />Soooooooooooo how are you going to advocate for those that need help? Just a little question for you to think about this week. :)<br /></div>Miss Hauterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15860883076247472533noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701002942610998086.post-14339169974036191482011-10-15T10:46:00.000-07:002011-10-15T10:54:43.431-07:00I know......<div align="center">Hey everyone!

I can't wait to come back and advocate for the orphans....and to see the children find families that will love them <strong>forever and EVER.......</strong></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601468252051586146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSedPQ4YnJyXOtP7WI_nTlDls5S3-7DeElFXd1Rz9hvEbiPntncphrKJTlQBgbnvefgJkpWB_mPp_3u-m7Y2y0iHusvDQDwhgSUxCCBB0BfZI1kk4-3UYPEdqEyy8IaC23BVX7kXG5dl0/s320/Ethiopia2010+057.jpg" border="0" /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601468989595007378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL42m_psaisWXGb5SQITXLlUYCNgb_35SM3pcUAZUEyE7q7MoJDAGWtwpNGP7L_An5edZeVPK16qS8A8OzIrN9CBJvkhjis95qr-S5jLph-eeBMZ1xyhI1rP5iSafWpTxtLzx0ps7o8HI/s320/Ethiopia2010+081.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615673117337371426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqLyfXDGjlk7SV6VkITUKstMOY-SIo-tr1lYL3Gj4WLQiM9FKBbDHMfZbp4fTo_ClULBhKCfEQlFm3CiLHHtzMkjk_-658VEJxspnLLDwdDSy8rtttYHsS6eD_i840luC2O8Zulidrc9w/s320/Titus2010+143.jpg" border="0" /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615673322783014242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJdJ_hz2EoF__5roKeD32DTMLqszaf_jB8VOeKJcuZuMZ_tibEWQZy2YuibQqjf31XEzxXu50LuA5VFimPXGTYCZSmthhNhyqUeFLzpxtpEcnNXIMYF1yX64plS6Qr_KxUDpQLNDiOEes/s320/Titus2010+144.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><p align="center"><br /><strong>Just thought I'd share some pictures that have made me get even more excited about going back to Ethiopia! :)<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">ONE MONTH</span></strong> from today LORD willing I'll be in Ethiopia (oh and bringing with me...4 friends:)!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /></p>Miss Hauterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15860883076247472533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701002942610998086.post-27008315345706712762011-05-31T20:32:00.000-07:002011-05-31T20:52:37.673-07:00Missing....<div align="center">I have a little bit of a void in my heart these days.....</div><br /><br /><div align="center">I left all of these kiddos over 10 months ago....and can't wait to squeeze and laugh with them again...in about 38 dayssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!! </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613089703006458834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9o7G7A5CFw_KWmeZ2IQoxFykkDz4I69oYetIOHOFPTvr6LPu43HNn296X_-wgDp8GYWuodv9isVQXX5VXPFMJ2ZIp0MuIn4lHZtCAHt0J21wYB1m_jfdtEt3YoeFQtN1vNUhDeEvqE6g/s320/Titus2010+141.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><p align="center">Lost all 10 of these not even a week ago....can't wait to see them over the summer and <span style="font-size:78%;">sadly </span>watch them WALK <span style="font-size:78%;">(right past my classroom)</span>INTO THEIR Kindergarten classrooms in the fall...;( (BUT OH so proud of them!!!!) :)<br /></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613090331858831570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH1drF5vWWyHV5PxTlPl8fuhA-TudBWGylS61snXuwDFfthzoRxzAPEnlSClokww4UD6gFDc2OhjOUMQrw7QfQYM0IAYHEe7Duhvqcne9W0qQZr4XwK55AoFvhoh6igjegKmC73XXEL9k/s320/Kidsall10.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>But most of all......my heart aches for these two.....</strong></span><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613090781129115906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB1owKwQp6XxoMV36rXSq0AgBFPJ3_gYHiW0j8UcmsaLpcYeKjvLzpuB0GHxUx24_6ADsnz1eNdYnQa5BeA-R585_4RuPV6RyfeX8cJQkeA9ZVC7DXTXct_aBizm4WPol2Ss0F47F9tBk/s320/endofmay2011+069.jpg" border="0" />It has only been 5 days and I already can't stand it not knowing what they are doing and experiencing for the first time down in Texas.

It was good seeing her again and just to be able to hear from her heart. I believe that the event inspired, touched, moved, informed, and led people to seek out those in need....and not just to adopt....but to serve others. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607841928851273298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt_30qTk_BAy3TuVtFXcEINDvmL487H04cyGJ1lOXalNneK_yqBHZ0kAfSK1C8RaeCYjkaaO_CWlK75Y0eej11PgM-ocf_SoQ2e8p8fHQ9OiUl0xQpatpO-T8Baxnj5ojFy12cZNrZras/s320/Kelly.jpg" border="0" /><strong>So thankful for you <a href="http://ordinaryhero.org/">Kelly</a></strong>.....and the example you are to so many....thank you for sharing your heart for the fatherless and encouraging us to do the same!!! <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607842770859182834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEignJn7FBBrHTLEUcaCq32GlC8LMZBIdRKyF4X3_h8RphbEAv8N0gpWvyP4KuyJUTRG5T1GiCUqUQ0eYtGXEGamPIKSDQhX0L4B2VOGhyphenhyphenumwJxoRVBZ-SBBauzDnJ1yVx7tGdep4g_NvAA/s320/Allgirls.jpg" border="0" />Thank you to everyone that served at this event....and planned for the event...and PRAYED for the people attending the event.
