About 7 p.m. last night, a group of bloggers flew out of the Chicago airport bound for New Delhi. And because I am a little obsessive, every time I woke up last night I would think about the fact they were STILL on a plane.
In fact, as of this moment, they are STILL on a plane.
That is a lot of honey-roasted peanuts.
Anyway, they’ve been on my heart because I know a little bit about what they’re about to experience, although I suspect that the Dominican pales in comparison to the poverty of Kolkata.
Please pray for them this week and make sure you follow along by going to the Compassion Bloggers site. I know what they share is going to be incredible because there is nothing like seeing the way Compassion International completely changes lives of children all over the globe.
And if you want a glimpse of what they’ll be seeing, take a look at these sweet faces waiting to be sponsored.
Hey Melanie,
I’ve thought about them a lot through the night and this morning, too. Praying for them and praying especially for those to whom they are going to minister.
Love you!
Just ‘found’ your site! I will be praying! Also, Coldwater Creek has unique and beautiful flip flops!
Big Mama – thank you, I just sponsored my first child. Thanks for providing the link and the motivation.
I will be praying for them! Because of your blog that you reposted about your trip to the Dominican (it was my first time to read it)…my husband and I decided that we are going to sponsor compassion kids. We now each have a little boy in Ecuador. Maybe one day we will get to see them in person!
I’ve been praying for the whole team. I know God is going to do amazing things for them and through them, and they’ll all come back forever changed.
Also, on a lighter note, I just wanted to tell you that as a result of reading this post, I was compelled to buy some honey-roasted peanuts on my weekly grocery shopping trip.
