But I'm confused about the "children waiting longer than 6 months" report. If I'm doing it right, I checked the Compassion site, put in the country of Uganda, and "waiting longest" and it showed me 12 children. Can it be that they just passed the 6-month mark in the last 2 days?

That didn't sit well with me at all.. six months is way too long. The first picture I clicked on was a 7 y/o named Andy. My son is a 7 y/o named Andrew. I took that as a sign from God, so now Andy from Ecuador is ours too! Shaun is right about God releasing us from wealth. I'm cancelling the movie channels we never watch and the Netflix we never use and finding some more kids to sponsor.

We are so excited, and thinking about maybe sponsoring one more. Your willingness to step out of your comfort zone has encouraged me to step out of mine. May God bless the rest of your trip!

I have cried along with some of the others. I have to admit that I too, like one of the other commenters have sponsored a child/children for many years and your posts have changed my way of thinking. I hate to admit we have not written or done anything other than post the pictures on the refrigerator and send our money monthly. Through you and your blog I feel God is telling me that I need to be investing in this life as well. Doing more than just sending the money. That's a great place to start, but not where it should end. Thanks BooMama....still praying!! Loving the posts. I have cried along with some of the others.
