adoption

i just finished a whole paper on adoption for my biblical theology and interpretations class.  don't ask what i learned because my brain is fried.  ha ha... but as i was reading through different material and always going back to what scripture says and... well today having three kids in the house, i thought... our job as believers is to care for the orphans and the widows.  i praise God for all the people over the years that have taken that quite seriously and have looked after A and me.  we are truly blessed.  now i wonder what my part is in this.  i have always wanted lots of children... i mean 10 was my goal.  P was like let's take it one at a time... :) but like today i see A with her friends and really see how important it is to have kids in the house.  i also know how important it is for children to have someone to love them and care for them.  i am not at a place right now to take in kids, financially or time wise... but i have been wondering if God would have me be one of those people that takes in kids love them and care for them... maybe even adopting some of them...  as i finish school and get more established as to what my future would look like... i want to pray about what this would look like.  then i think of how there may be no tomorrow... how i should seize the day in what the Lord would have for me.  i love kids...  Lord show me how i could use this for You!!
