Ignorance has a voice.....

So here I am again.  Unfortunately just like my last post I have waivered about how to begin this one.  Someone said something to me yesterday that was so wrong on so many levels.  "Are you going to adopt the dark black nappy headed kids?"  How do you even respond to such ignorance as this?  Well ...... here you go.

To this particular person and others who feel the need to judge me, my children, and the process that God is taking us through I sincerely apologize.  See, the thing I have learned is that when you don't understand something it is much easier to say ignorant things opposed to standing back prayerful and watching God move.  Ignorance is a powerful thing.  Ignorance can blind you from seeing what God is doing right in front of your face.

This person has no clue how God is providing for my children to come home.  It's funny to me that as God is fulfilling his word the nay sayers are rising up evermore.  I have stepped aside and I am watching God do this thing.  I truly believe this is not even for me, but God wants to save these two BEAUTIFUL babies whether they are black, purple, lime green or orange.  I love these babies and it doesn't matter to me their outward appearance.

This year the word that God spoke was "order." I am awed with God becuase as we go through this process one thing that I am determined to do is to do it right.  And not just do it right but be so in God's will to where the ignorance of others becomes non effective darts.  The kind of darts where as they are thrown they don't even make it my way because they are defective. 

I believe that God is God. Unfortunately, not everyone has the mind and heart of God.  I am striving to do His will and to live this life as a living sacrifice.  I would employ others to do the same.  The heart of God is pure.  Love is pure. 


So please, I'm asking, begging, pleading with you....and you know who you are. Let your ignorance be silenced.  I am determined this year to live in the face of my enemy with much joy, peace, and happiness knowing that somewhere in a place called Ethiopia, where there are over 5 million orphans.....God has two treasures in mind just for me.

Ohhh Britt!!! At first glance I would assume it was just some racist bigot who passed you in a grocery store who made that remark. But since they know about your babies it's even freakier.

Its really sad that in 2012 there is still so much hate, but you know where its coming from. The most miserable people can't deal with their own worthlessness & instead try to turn it on everyone else. What they don't realize is that while they are purposefully trying to make others hurt, all anyone else does is look at them with pity. If you know that person, I hope you get them psychiatric help. They are sick, seriously. What they said can get them fired from any job, sued, and is definitely harassment.

Bullying is not tolerated anywhere now, I hope you report it. I'm sure your not the first and you def wont be the last person they try to inflict their anger on. It won't stop until they get help for their anger/depression or if they have legal repercussions.

Love you soul sis, keep your head up. The only people trying to drag you down are the ones already in your shadow. You're above and beyond them, that's why their jealous.

Wow, that's a lot! Some people really do say ignorant things, even if they are just joking around. Sometimes people don't know what a person is going through or where they might be at that point in their life. They may not have even taken you seriously. Regardless, I wouldn't let what they said get you in an uproar. You're better than that. Forgive them in their ignorance. They meant no harm, neither are they your enemy. I'm know they love you and are happy about what God is doing in your life. Be encouraged. God is faithful.

All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,...

BUT GOD
Psa 37:13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.

Just to read your post gets me excited because I know GOD IS ABOUT TO SHOW OFF! I love that song that says He saw the best in me when everyone else around could only see the worst...
This is all for the making of your testimony.
When they come your way you with their disbelief, you better believe God is going to deal with them.
Let them haters keep talking because God is able and he'll do just what he promised you!

I love you sis, keep your head up and can't wait til these babies get here soon as the LORD WILLS!
