Meet our newest friend, Uwayezunamariya. But, I think that in this house, she will be known simply as "Mariya".
Through Compassion, we are now sponsoring this sweet girl and I am so excited to get started. Just looking at her picture makes me smile. You gotta love the jean skirt! It is amazing to me how quickly I have fallen for her. I feel such a sense of responsibility and duty to her already.
This was my Mother's Day gift to myself. In the midst of throwing a pity party, I signed onto this site and read about all of the children that are in desperate need of sponsorship. I was quickly convicted of how selfish I was being. I am so blessed and have so much more than I have ever deserved.
So, in honor of Holland, we will do this one small thing to help change the life of a child forever. And in doing so, my heart that was hurting and empty suddenly began overflowing.

She is just way too cute for words. I love her, too. Did you know Chase and Laura are in the process of adopting a baby from Rwanda?
She is so sweet.
She is beautiful - just like her Compassion mommy! What a wonderful gift both for you and Mariya!
You have been close to my heart and in my prayers the past few days. I still believe...
Love ya!
Blessings to you Jenni! I pray that God truly blesses this act of unselfishness you have chosen! God is always faithful!
Your love never ceases to amaze me. If there were more Jenn Woolley's out there the world would be such an amazing place!
