Hey lets do something BIG!

You ever get tiered of smallville? Not the show but the mentality that we take concerning life? Everybody is thinking so small, so human, so limited! What if we could do anything with out failing? What if money was no issue? What if we had a Big God in our corner? Some people think big for humans but - but! The but is the problem. The bible says that with God all things are possible. All things, big things, supernatural things. I look at the aids epidemic and see all that Bono is trying to do and think wow he is trying to do something big - trying! But is he making a difference? A small difference but people are still getting AIDS and dying from them. People are still starving and dying from unclean water. I want to make a BIG and LASTING difference. "With God all things are possible" - "What is impossible for man is possible for GOD!"
My prayer is that God would unleash His Greatness, His Mercy, His Creative Nature and that I would dare to trust in His abilities! Anyways - Go Big or Go Home!

hello

Graziele




Who is Graziele? I'm glad that you asked. She is a 5 year old little girl that we met in an orphanage in Brazil. She is such a ham, every time that you pull out the camera she strikes a pose. She owned us from the first moment we saw her. She was either around Sarah's, Tracy's or my neck the whole time that we we there. We feel in love. Her smile is so real. When we started to leave she was so sad. We were so sad. We talked to the people that ran the orphanage about adoption and they said that it wasn't had because nobody wants them. That was exactly the opposite of what we thought. How could someone not want her. We want her! So we prayed about her and started asking them about some questions about adopting her and they told us that she had been removed from her home for some reason and would never be able to go back home and would never be able to be adopted. Not what we wanted to hear! I'm still praying over her everyday and I know that God has a special plan for her life and the rest of the little kids like her all around the world. She is just one out of millions that need a family. What to do? What can you do? Graziele Richard?
