We need your help

Hello to all of my tens of readers out there in the blog world! Tis I, Amy, from "Abundant Life" blog(hahahaha). Andrew and I are gearing up for Christmas by not decorating, or buying a tree, or having a Christmas party, but just feeling the holiday spirit, that counts, right? Well, we're enjoying it. :) This Christmas we are headed out to Phoenix, woot woot, to spend time with the Brockhaus fam, especially our FAVORITE nice, Miss Charlee, and our nephew(just a guess) chillin in the womb.

This year, we welcomed a little cutie named Milagros into our lives that I blogged about here.
Since then, we have received two letters and two drawings from her in Peru telling us about what she's doing, and thanking us for being her sponsor and telling us that she loves us is always "remembering us in her prayers." She is so cute. I almost feel bad, because we have her funding set up through direct deposit, which automatically pays for her once a month though our account, so we never actually do anything for her, but she is ever grateful. It feels good to get thanks for not really doing anything :)

A couple months ago, Compassion asked us if we would be willing to pray for two little girls who need sponsors. We said yes and signed up and got packs for two little girls in Rwanda. I took a picture of one girl to my 11th grade bible study to pray for her, we did and she got a sponsor that SAME NIGHT! That little girl's life will be changed forever because someone was willing to to love her. She will be told very soon that she has her own sponsor. It must be an exciting day in the life of a child when they hear that someone in America loves you enough to pay for you to get food, go to school and learn about the bible. Um, best day ever? I think so! Many poor children are at risk to believe the lie that they are worthless when in fact they are precious in the eyes of God and worth so much.

So now we have Iragena, who also lives in Rwanda that we are praying for. So I know this isn't the beast picture of her, but just know she is super cute with her fancy white dress and green sandals, standing in a little chalk circle for her picture to be taken.



She has 5 kids in her family, her father is sometimes employed as a farmer, she is in Kindergarten, she loves to jump rope, and she would love you forever if you chose her to sponsor. If you can't sponsor her, will you please pray for her? Pray for her for anything really, she lives in Rwanda for crying out loud, that's rough.

If you never meet her in person, you will meet her in heaven one day and we can all chat then!

Thanks for taking the time in reading this, and for praying for her. If you are reading my blog, I pretty much love you right now!

Love,
Amy
