Loving Genet

After watching many of my blogging friends travel to meet their Compassion International sponsor child, I felt God working in my heart to join this worthy cause. At first I didn't think I had the money, but then I realized that cable TV cost more than my sponsorship would. After this realization I knew what God wanted from me! God made it very clear to me that I was to go online and sponsor a child...and I did just that!

I now have a new sister in Christ! She is 4 years old and her name is Genet! She lives in Ethiopia! Having Genet in my life has changed so many things. I pray now more than ever and understand the importance of my sponsorship to Genet. When I was in College I traveled to Cambodia three different times and I can say from personal experience I understand just how much these children need a sponsor. However, I will say that this little girl has taught me more than I could ever teach her! She is just beautiful and truly a princess in every since of the word. I long for her to know her worth and value to her Father and claim her identiy as a child of the one true King! I want her to get the chance to go to school, have nutritious meals and appropriate health care. I also want her mother to rest for a chance and know that help is on the way.

I know that God stratigically placed Genet in my life at this specific time and I can't wait to see what He is going to teach me through the eyes of this precious child! Not only are things going to change for Genet, but I have a feeling they are going to change in a big way for me too! I think I need her just as much as she needs me!
