for HIS glory... Praise HIS name!
A new friend Megan is traveling to meet her 2 new sons.
Megan contacted her friend about a diaper need in Uganda. Her friend Michelle McKinnney (www.lifeabitsweeter.blogspot.com) then contacted our AWAA Adoption Yahoo Group.
Brandy Wade saw the post, contacted me...we packed the diapers, and now they are on the way to Uganda with Megan to help the sweet Ugandan babies in Sonrise Orphanage!
God knows what he needs for HIS children and oh how sweet when HE uses us in HIS big plan!

God Cares About the Little Things
Adoption Featured
Last week, I asked my Facebook friends if anyone would be willing to donate some cloth diapers for us to take to our boys’ baby home when we pick them up in Uganda later this spring. One of the other mothers adopting with us asked us if we would commit to bring 30 inserts to help the babies home build up their supply.
This babies’ home, like most in Africa, relies on cloth diapers for the babies in their care. Unfortunately, they do not have enough to keep up with the—um, demand—shall we say.
Imagine trying to launder diapers for 20-30 babies with no access to washing machines or dryers. As in, they wash diapers by hand. Can you imagine? And, it’s the rainy season, so line drying takes longer than normal. All this translates into an urgent need for more diapers.
After posting my request on Facebook, I was floored when my friend Michelle McKinney, also a soon-to-be adoptive mom, said her friends Angi and Brandy, wanted to donate ONE HUNDRED diapers and inserts. My mother-in-law offered to donate some inserts too. God was showing off, big time.
Today, I came home to find a huge box waiting on my porch containing these:
Just like our experience watching God provide for the financial needs of our adoption through our fundraising efforts, he has shown himself to be the Great Provider once again.
I realized anew that God cares about the small things, even the most basic, like diapers for babies in Uganda. Nothing escapes his notice, especially the needs of these precious little ones.
And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. —Matthew 6:28-29
I continue to be amazed at God’s faithful provision in our adoption process. It makes me wonder why I ever doubt his ability or his heart. I am humbled. www.meghmiller.com
Love you all,
Angi & Tim
