The Shrum Family Adventures: Willy needs your prayers!!!!!!!

Willy needs your prayers!!!!!!!

The lawyer I hired to do Willy's Guardianship is starting on it tomorrow (Thursday). He says he can do this in about 2 weeks.
Which is a huge praise!!!!!!!!! But.... I have to come up with $500 by Monday to wire to him!
It will cost me $30 to wire the money both times. So now I will only be able to give a little bit!
I have had a few people to say they will give a donation, but I do not know how much. "PLEASE Dear Lord Please send help fast for Willy!!!!!! You ask us to take care of the orphans giving them Food, and clothing and to protect them fromt he bad of the world and that is what I am trying to do." James 1:27, Duet. 10:18

It would truly be awesome to help help there be one less orphan in the world. Especially in Guatemala right now! Where my heart is.

If your heart is in Guatemala and you have wanted to help out the children left behind that can not be adopted then here is your chance. I am trying to help Willy's foster family get permanent
guardianship of him until he is 18.

Is that really all that's financially needed to get a child in permanent foster care with a family? We can do this girl....we need to do this. Until adoptions are re-opened, we need to get this done. My email is susiesellsgr@yahoo.com. Let me know or post on my blog. Also, how is your Mom doing? Susie; May 14, 2008 at 8:57 PM

Verses that really spoke to me and helped me get through our adoptions.

(John 14:18) " I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you."

(Isaiah 43:5-6) "Do not be afraid, for I am with you,
I will bring your children from the west. Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth."

(Proverbs 25:25) "As cold water is to a thirsty soul : so is good
news from a far country."

(Matthew 6:25-34) The do not worry chapter.
This is the chapter that told me we would adopt again and the
baby girl woud be named Lily (Lilee). "The lilies of the field".
This is a great reminder of why we should not worry, God will take care of his people!

(Psalms 82: 3-4) "Defend the cause of the weak and the fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Resue the weak and neady; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."

(Psalms 68: 5) "A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling."

(Deuteronomy 10:18) " He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow and loves the alien, giving them food and clothing."

(Philippians 4:13) "I can do all things through him who gives me strength."

(Philippians 4:6-7) " Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present
your request to God. And the peace of God,which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

(Romans 8:28) " And we know that all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

(James 1:27) "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the orphans and widows in their destress, and to keep oneself from being polluted from by the world."
