28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? 29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, 30 saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
31 “Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand?32 If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace.33 In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples. (Luke 14:28-33)
Warning: don't write a book if you don't want to sell it. Yup. That's me! Because isn't selling a book like saying, look at me. Listen to me. Hear what I have to say?
That scares me!! I don't even know if I said it right. But I do know I got this right, a little girl is home, and not living alone in this scary world without her mother!
Believe me. I've thought about it a LOT! But honestly, do you want to know what I think about now? I don't care that we don't have a retirement saved up, or that we lost our house when the economy dropped, along with Jim's business, and his business truck. Or that we couldn't afford to fix our 15 passenger van when it died. Because God died to set us free! He got us through all of that, led us to our little girl, and led us to our new home! Jim is working again, we have transportation, and God's promise for a hope and a future beats any retirement and is out of this world!
Writing a book was the least I could do to pay forward the gift of knowing our daughter has a family. But what keeps me awake at night now and hurts the most during the day is not that people hear what I have to say, but to hear the cry of every orphan we left behind! God opened my eyes to so so many more orphans laying in their beds helpless. No family, just walls. No one to tuck them in at night, kiss them goodnight, or give a drink of water before bedtime. They are lost without a family!
Would you please help me, help them? They need you more than I do. And I don't expect you to love my book. But if you read it, would you please write me a review and show your love for orphans? My goal it to get the word out about all the orphans waiting for their families! Do it for them and tell your friends. Please, It's not for me, it's for THEM!!
Please go to Amazon and be their voice. Who knows, it might be just the thing that would help them find their mother. If God could use an e-mail, He could use a book too! With God, all things are possible! (Matthew 19:26)
With Love,
Debbie
