Today, I went to this website.
Definitely not the first time I’ve been to that site, but the first time I’ve gone with the intention of finding a child to sponsor.
One of the missionaries we currently support is no longer on the field; in talking where we wanted that money to go, we decided that sponsoring a child through Compassion International was a good choice.
When I pulled up the website today, the child on the front page, waiting for a sponsor?
Was from Indonesia.
I had figured we would probably choose one from Indo, but seeing her huge, so-familiar, brown eyes staring back at me was almost too much. My heart melted, and I was sure she was the one. But by the time Tobin had gotten home from the store and we could talk a little more, she had already been sponsored.
Which is a very good thing, even if I was a little bummed. 
So…I had the site do a search for all the kids in Indonesia waiting for a sponsor.
Big mistake.Huge.
Eighty-two. EIGHTY-TWO!
How do you even choose between them?
I looked at ages, at names, at birthdays…and narrowed it down to two. I prayed, and I really can’t decide between them. My heart hurts…
So I’m going to pray it through tonight and wait til tomorrow. I’m hoping one of them will be taken so the decision will be easy.
So I know I have blog readers, whether or not you guys comment or not. If you’ve ever wanted to bless the life of a child who truly needs it, here’s your chance.
No pressure.
Just an opportunity.
