Ours is our sponsor child, Cristina from Casa. You may know her? Anyway, she is just a hero in every sense of the word. She has a terrible story before coming to Casa as most there do, and once there she had a rough first few years. She struggled with a lot of things but she eventually accepted Christ and changed her life and has grown into this beautiful and STRONG woman of faith. She has been ostraticized and made fun of so very much for her stance she takes and regardless she stays strong. She has a heart for others and ministers to her friends and others at Casa. She is not perfect as none of us are but Jesus is her strength and her refuge and He is changing lives there at Casa b/c she allows Him to be her King. She is a strong prayer warrior for us and really inspires and encourages us and keeps us strong in our faith. Her example and the way she lives her life honestly leaves me speechless. I am in awe of the changed person she is and I KNOW she will reach her goal of being a missionary who expands the Kingdom for Christ oneday b/c she is already doing it at Casa. Seriously.. I should stop b/c I could go on and on. It wouldn't let me post links to my blog about her, sorry. I love that girl with all of my being and she is truly a hero. =)Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01192302680995801073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628122353538110199.post-56070707625325201882010-05-14T07:10:58.332-07:002010-05-14T07:10:58.332-07:00I loved your post as awlays Kathie, thank you! You...I loved your post as awlays Kathie, thank you! Your posts just bless me in more ways then I can say, just love reading them. This may be a strange answer to your question about heros, but we have someone who has inspired us and changed us.It is nobody famous and you won't read about her anywhere, well except for my blog, ha ha. <br /> It is our sponsor child, Cristina from Casa. She has such a terrible story before coming to Casa and struggled her first few years there but once she accepted Christ she completely changed her life and is a STRONG woman of faith. She has overcome trial after trial and faced MUCH mockery and is sometimes isolated b/c of her faith. She wants to be a missionary one day and has not lost sight of her goal. She goes out of her way to minister to others and I have seen her grow from this timid girl with no self esteem or dreams to a strong and I mean STRONG woman of faith who ministers and encourages ME!She pushes herself to be more than she thinks she can be and has developed amazing leadership qualities and encourages other teen girls there to stop caring about what others think and trust God with their lives. She is truly a hero in every sense of the word and both her story and the way she lives her live encourages me & our family daily.<br /><br />I have written a lot about her on my blog but here are a couple I could find easily if you want to learn more about her, but you may already know her??<br /><br />http://meandmysams.blogspot.com/2009_02_17_archive.html<br /><br />and here...<br /><br />http://meandmysams.blogspot.com/2010_03_04_archive.htmlTerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01192302680995801073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628122353538110199.post-58539059627992733112010-05-13T20:00:31.460-07:002010-05-13T20:00:31.460-07:00This is a great post, Kathie.

We just keep pointing them to Jesus, the only ONE worth following and the only ONE that won't let them down. I totally agree with you, my human heros are these moms and dads that give up comfort to save the lives of "the least of these". They find the lost and bring them home. They forego high living to allow one more child the chance at life. I could sit and talk and talk and talk with them and never grow tired of hearing how faithful God has been to them in their in lives and adoption journies. Oh, and one more thing, they would never consider themselves heroes, but readily, without hesitation, give all the glory to God.trustandobeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00882983227018954307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628122353538110199.post-36333991969087711482010-05-13T18:01:10.326-07:002010-05-13T18:01:10.326-07:00All I wanted to say is AMEN!

He will give us wisdom from His word to best steer our children away from worldly idols and towards Him. It is such a struggle in this fallen world though isn't it. But He is faithful!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244240935842844736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628122353538110199.post-75661004865980070482010-05-13T14:13:34.074-07:002010-05-13T14:13:34.074-07:00My super hero cape is GREAT for dusting...you insp...My super hero cape is GREAT for dusting...you inspire many girl! <br /><br />We've watched so many fall away because their sites were on human beings, instead of God. When the human crashed and burned...their faith did too.<br /><br />This is a wonderful post and SO very true. We choose our hero's carefully and wisely and remember the God is the only and best super hero and the only one that is infallible :).<br /><br />Awesome post!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09341478847769765450noreply@blogger.com
