My bio mother wanted a boy not a girl when I was born. Then I dealt with much abuse for years leading up to me almost being raped after school in Central Florida by some young high school boys. A young man stepped in at the right time to protect me and brought me home to his family-who were one of the only TRUE Christians I had ever known in my life-and he asked if I could stay with them. They did not want to because of unknown legal issues and since I was a girl, they had 4 boys of their own and took other boys in and did not have extra money. They took me in anyway and I had a stable loving home until I went to college. I had met so many Christians before this family who would see a need - hunger or lack of clothes - and would just "pray about it." They would say "we shall pray for you to have food, shelter, or clothes, now be warm & go your way" and do nothing but pray. That family not only used their hands and feet and money and home to serve God treating me as family for the long haul when I was not related to them (or the same race either) but ultimately it was this experience that led me to accept Christ years later as an adult after my daughter died. It took me years to accept Christ because I needed to see genuine love in action. Sacrificial love not just words and not just for "show and reputation." Christlike people are God's hands & feet on earth. Unwanted & abused babies and children spend their life dreaming of having a loving, safe, dedicated, and stable family.
