Desires of My Heart

Psalm 37:4-6
Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your casue like the noonday sun.

I have to remember to "Delight"- worship, respect, honor & recognize the Lord....
Then His ways will become my ways- the desires of heart will be fulfilled.

I have a lot to figure out. Mike and I went to the Come Let's Dance benefit. I have had this brother and sister on my heart since then...well- even before then.

Mike and I want to adopt, but I was thinking next year- and we were thinking about adopting a 2 year old. Is God just opening up my mind to an older child? Or is this it?

Charlie is 5 years old- his name means Free Man.
Molly is his 3 year sister- her name means Wished for child.

We have not met them. I have only seen Charlie's eyes.

Mixing my Passions

Is there a way to combine my old passion for Starbucks and my passions for Come Let's Dance? I have always had a heart for Africa and for orphans. I loved Starbucks because they gave me the opportunity to contribute positively to our communities and our environment. The company was amazing at allowing their partners to work at what they were passionate about.

I am writing this blog to record my intentions. I want to be held accountable. Even if I am the only one who reads this. My goal is to meet with Shana and talk about her needs for the kids. Not as much as financial needs, but other types of needs. Clothes, shoes, art supplies, books....whatever. Then I want to meet with a Distric Manager- Steve perhaps. He is John's DM. Is this a project that the HR stores could take on? Come Let's Dance is non-profit. This would be dealing with the pillars that are important to SBUX. Aids, Art, Literacy.

Then perhaps Mike and I could carry this to Uganda when we go. OH- we plan to go in the fall- September maybe. Wow- not much time. I need to get working....

ps- Happy Birthday Mike! Yesterday...
