Give Lina a Chance

Post from via Rainbow of Hope - 4Girls4Christ


Reece's Rainbow is doing something a little more different this year with their "Angel Tree".   They're giving three of the children in different categories of "Other Angels" and "HIV+"

That means the little precious girl I (Kaitlyn) talk about all the time will finally have a shot at getting on the Angel Tree this year! 

Her voting is going on from now till the 30th.   That's barely four days!

Could you please give "my" itty  bitty Lina a chance?  Will you please please vote for her? 

She needs us.  She could really use this chance.  

Here's how you vote!

When you're there, go find the picture of Lina that is like the one here at the bottom in the post.  Look above the photo and hit "VOTE" 

And then, just like that, you've made a BIG difference in this little angels life. <3  And you've given her a real chance. 

Little Lina baby.  She's an orphan with many disabilities.  Her mama left her in the hospital when she was born a premature baby.  VOTE FOR HER, please! <3

Dear Lina

My dearest little Lina, you've been on my mind so much lately.  Along with Doug, Henry, Tabitha, Mark, Sadie, Colleen, Summer, Rose, Kinsey & Galina.   Everywhere I go and everything I do, I'm reminded of you and the others.  I'm living life as "normal" as a girl junior high-school,  home-schooled teenager, oldest of a big family can.  While all of you just sit in the orphanage just longing to have what SO MANY people (including myself) take for granted.  I hear I love you at least once a day by my family and friends, but you've never even heard it once from someone whose really meant it!  And you're just a sweet innocent little baby girl!   You've never done anything thing wrong to deserve what you've been given to live with.  Which is basically nothing at all.   Like I'm constantly telling myself and others, I know God has a plan for you and you're no mistake!  You are a true God given blessing!   He made you for a very special purpose.  I know so.  I believe that one day God will lead a family to you.  They'll not only want you but they'll need you.  You'll change lives Lina!  I know this because in just the short time I've "known" you, You've changed mine.  You've made me a better person.  Each one of you precious little orphans that I feel God has led me to.  You make me smile.  Every single time I look at that gorgeous face God made you.  You're a beautiful darling!  I have your picture in a frame that says "LOVE" on it.  I see it every day.  It reminds me to pray for you constantly.  And every time I think my life's "bad" I think of yours and kick myself for even being complaining and being so selfish.   My mom has even fallen in love with you too, we both are praying hard for you "my" little girl.

I know you can't read this letter right now, Lina but I know that maybe one day you're future mommy and/or daddy will be able to read all my letters to you.  And you can see that someone loved you when you thought no one did.    I always have and always will my sweet girl.    Stay strong and keep your head held high.  God loves you and so do I.

Your Prayer Warrior for Life,

Kaitlyn

Yes...I cried writing this.

Bittersweet to See, Tabitha Growing So Fast...

This is a bittersweet post to write.  It's about my dear sweet Tabitha.   I've gotten brand new pictures of her! I'm so excited to see them & have more of her, but then again I'm not that happy at all to write that she's still waiting.  This still isn't a "Tabitha's on the MFFM page!"

This means she's still waiting cold & alone in the orphanage.    She'll be three next May.  And my goal is to make sure she ISN'T still listed on RR!  She has to be on the MFFM page. New commitments,   or in a wonderful blissful home with her forever family.

I've watched this little angel girl from baby to toddler, wondering why she hasn't been rescued from the awful orphanage.   I pray so hard for her.  I know God has a plan and reason for everything but I sure wish His plan would be Tabitha getting adopted SOON!!  She's too beautiful to be wasting away..

Take a look at her past and current pictures


I've seen her as a tiny little baby..

A little infant..

Getting older...

Learning how to crawl..

Sitting up by herself!!!

And here are her most recent pictures!  All grown up, toddler Tabi! <3 

She's so precious!!  Her eyes are like sparking diamond and her smile is PRICELESS! <3 <3 <3

She's just longing for a forever family.  She's too pretty for words!!  She needs a FOREVER FAMILY!!!!!!  

Can you do me a favor and pray hard that "my" little girl, Tabi, will find her forever family before she turns three years old.  I know there is someone out there who not only wants her but needs her.   If everyone could just please put her in your prayers I think we'll see Tabitha finally with her forever family.  God doesn't FAIL.  He does EVERYTHING but fail!  Tabitha isn't a mistake.  She's a miracle, a blessing from God himself.  He made her for a special purpose.  She does matter.  And I don't just think that.  I know that.  

Tabitha currently has $1,908.60 in her grant on Reece's Rainbow.  That's not a bad number at all.  I'd help anyone and do anything to help raise money to bring her home to her family.  (Whoever "they" are.)   If you're able please considering donating a couple dollars to her grant.  Just CLICK HERE to go to her profile on RR. 

God bless you 

Over $200 for Lina!

I haven't checked Lina's donation account in a while but let me tell you I was blown away by the very pleasant surprise to see she has OVER $200 IN HER ACCOUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  How good my God is!!!  :)    God is answering my prayers!  I'm so happy someone cares enough to donate their money to her.  She needs it so badly! I'm just speechless! :)   

Thank you so much for those of you who have donated, prayed & shared "my" little Lina's posts/profile!  It's means so much to both of us!  :)  

Sorry to ramble, I do that a lot when I'm excited.  :)  

God bless you, you're all in my prayers!  

The First $10

I was playing music while getting ready for the day. Like I usually do in my room. I decided to check my blogs & fan pages, I do it daily. When I logged onto my blog I noticed right off the bat that Lina has her very first DONATION!! :) $10!! It's a fabulous start!! I hope to see that number multiply soon! The more money in her donation box the greater her chances of finding a family are!!

I believe that the ten dollars were also here by prayer. Gods answering our prayers & helping Lina get adopted sooner, hopefully. Thank you, for all of you who've been praying for "my" precious little lovebird, Lina! I'm sure if she knew she'd be very appreciative!

Please continue to pray, share & donate! :)

Collection of My Thoughts & Pictures of Lina

I've had some more photo's of "my" Lina for a few days now.  And I have been so anxious to post them! :) She's such an angel!  And after just a glance into her big blue eyes, I think you'll be in love in her as well! :)

                                                                                                                                                                          I think this is one of her younger photo's.  I'm not completely sure of the history behind it though, so don't quote me on it.  She just takes my breath away in this photo especially.   She's so small, fragile & innocent.  I only wish that she had someone to depend on.  And someone to tell her how incredibly beautiful & special she is!  She deserves at least that much..doesn't she? <3

I want to personally apologize for the not so great quality in this couple pictures.  When I downloaded them it must have messed or something in the process.  I'll make sure to fix it & upload them again later!  

Just look how SMALL she is! So tiny!  I want to kiss her little head so bad.  I was thinking the other day about how strong my love is for her.  And just how blessed anyone would be, to be able to call themselves the parents of this gorgeous little gift from God. I do wish I was married & old enough to be her mother.  I understand it's not as easy as I'm making it sound.  But if I think about it, it's the truth.  I love her.  She's so special to me.  I sometimes just sit down later praying for her & think about her.  I usually end up teary eye'd too.  I can't help it.  She's stole my heart. :)

Pretty, pretty, pretty little girl!  Oh, how I love you, Lina! :)  Isn't she just stunning?!  I believe so.  With all my heart.  God made her so perfect.  She's no mistake.  He does have a very special reason for her.  She was made by God.  Just like you & I.  He gave her, her disabilities for His own special plan.

When I look at Lina, I don't spot her disabilities like most people would.  I see her as someone God took a little more time on, creating.  Just to make her a little more extra special than the rest of us.  In a good way. :)

And yes.  I saved the very best for last. Or should I say, my very favorite for last?  This exact photo is the one that will be going in the special picture frame I bought for her, to sit in my room on my night stand.  This photo brings tears to my eyes.  It hurts so much to see someone so small, so sweet & so innocent suffer with out true love or a family for so long!    Please help me find her forever family!


SHARE THIS POST!


DONATE (RIGHT SIDE BAR, VERY TOP)


And above all, please PRAY for Lina, pray that she'll stay safe & sound while we wait for her forever family to find her. 


Please, don't do it for me, do it for Lina!  <3 <3 <3  I want nothing more than to see her happy!  I want to hold her, talk to her, kiss her & the list is, honestly, endless. So I'll stop here.

Thank you so much for reading my blog.  Remember to share it. And please follow!  :)

Making Memories in My Heart

I was up until 1 last night ordering photos of all my little orphans from all over the world. Yeah, I had to resize all the photos, edit them & etc, so it took me a little bit. And when I first started working on them, of course I was watching the Olympic Opening ceremony! ;) It was good but I have to be honest, Beijing was still the BEST opening! :)
Anyways, I'm getting side tracked here. Ha ha! Sorry.
I received more photos of baby Lina which I'm going to be posting soon! I bought a special little picture frame for her, I'm going to be putting one of my favorite photos of her in it. I want her to know how much I love her! I'm going to be starting some fundraisers for her, I won't stop until shes safe & sound at a loving, deserving home.
I'm making memories with my little Lina in my heart, while wait on her forever family to find her... <3

Here's the pretty "lOve," frame I bought her a few night ago. Can't wait to see her pretty face inside the frame! :)
