My Little Sister in Christ
My family and I just sponsered a little girl all the way from China. Harmony Outreach is the orphanage in China where we sponsered her. Here is a picture of the girl we sponsered...
Her name is Lisa, but her origanal Chinese name is Xin Xiaoling. Once you sponser a child the company sends you all of their information and the even send you a handmade doll made by the chinese people. Here is a picture of that...
It is kinda like she is a part of our family now because her picture is right next to our portrait.
At the Harmony House they made a little bio about her. This is it.
"Lisa is full of life and energy and is always engaged in some activity and fond of smiling. Her growth is good and her body is strong. She is smart and understands many of the nanny’s words already. Sometimes she is stubborn. She likes playing with toys, with other children, climbing, and taking walks. She isn’t choosy about food and eats very well. She likes to put her finger in her month when she is sleeping. She arrived in our care on November 28, 2008 from Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang province in the extreme West of China. She is named after Lisa Bentley. "
There are still losts of children that need to be sponsered. You can even sponser children from other places like the Kaifeng Deaf School.
These are the children that go there. Harmony House is partners with this school. John Bently offical started the program Harmony House you can read all about it at the website http://www.harmonyoutreach.org/.

Martha and Mary
Luke 10:38-42 (King James Version)
38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Character study on Martha:
In Luke 10:38-42, Martha talked to Jesus and said, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me. It seems that Martha would get distracted by preparations. She loved Jesus, but it was easy to get distracted. Words that describe Martha are demanding, questioning, loving.
Character study on Mary:
Mary sat at the Lord's feet and listened to everything He said. Jesus was very important to her. Here are some words describing Mary...loving, good, attentive. In Luke 10:38-42, Mary did not talk. She listened.
In comparing Mary and Martha, I feel that they were very different from each other. Martha pretty much yelled at Jesus, while Mary was sitting quietly at His feet.
I think I am most like Mary, although I have my Martha moments. Who do you feel you are most like?

Kari Jobe Concert
This Sunday my family went to a concert at my church. It was a CD release concert for Kari Jobe. It was so amazing! Everyone and their dog was there. We didn't get there in time to get a seat in the church auditorium even though we were thirty minutes early. My family had to go to the overflow room. It was still neat from there though. After the concert ended I got to get my CD signed by Kari herself! Here is a picture...
It is a little blurry and I was blinking my eyes, but oh well it was on my mom's IPhone. My favorite song is Beautiful.
