I am completely and totally touched by reading this post from an adoptive mother of 6 orphans from Ethiopia. I am spurred on to action. Sometimes answers to prayer come in the form of just reading scripture instead of just sitting around waiting for an answer. God answers prayer in many ways, but He's not going to e-mail me to say, "This is what I want you to spend your life doing." Or, "This is my will for you." Sometimes just reading scripture like this passage...

Matthew 25:44-46

44"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'

45"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'

46"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

...can be all the answer I will ever need. Here is the post that has so greatly impacted me tonight:
