Hebrews 12:1 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith..."

The Voice of One Who Wept
by Martha Snell Nicholson
Today I heard the voice of one who wept
In far off lands
Because of sin and misery,
And begged with outstretched hands
For one small lamp to light his dark.
Now fain I would have slept,
So - stopped my ears, but in my heart
That sobbing voice still wept.
And then I heard the voice of one who
Counted not the cost,
But left His ivory palaces to seek and
Save the lost.
He said, "The sound of one who weeps
Is coming up to Me.
Does thou forget that last command
Which I gave unto Thee,
To preach my Word to all the world?"
O, bitter be our shame!
Still hopeless millions walk the earth
Who never heard His Name,
And still the world spends lavishly
In every crowded mart,
And still the voice of Him who wept
Is sobbing in my heart!

What awesome news!!! COME ON TA!!!! God is so good!!!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to introduce myself. I am a friend of Allison Frerman, my name is Joybeth Turner. She put your family on our sunday school prayer list at church on Sunday and shared with me your blog. You have such an amazing story in your adoptions. I feel the call to adopt, and am praying fervently for God to change my husbands heart on the matter. He has not quite heard the call yet :-)! Your story of waiting for CJ is such an inspiration to me. God will make a way for my story too, I believe. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I also believe this will be a But God moment in my family's life. I have 3 children (15, 12, 7) all of whom are quite excited and pray about our future family member. However, my 15 year old knows his father pretty well. He is going to learn about "But God" I believe in this story, because it's only going to be "But God" that my husband is changed. Thank you again for sharing your story, we will be praying for your family and your finalizing of the boys adoption. I look forward to reading "the rest of the story"!
