The reality of our move to the Dominican Republic is ringing over and over in my heart these days. For so long, it was just something we talked about, wished for, thought of and prayed for; but for some awkward reason, I never really thought it would happen. Oh Lord, forgive me for my lack of faith!
I'm humbled that God would choose me to rescue orphans. I was fatherless too, but God used the love of my mom, grandmother, aunts and uncles, cousins, friends, pastors, my children and my awesome husband to shape me into His image (I'm still a work in progress). He's a good God, using those of us who seem to have no hope to bring hope to others.
I never thought that God would use me this way. When I was a little girl, I remember asking Him to surround me with those who would love me. I was content when He answered that prayer-never did I think that He would use me to shower His love on other children who may be praying the same prayer.
So here we go, on a journey of a lifetime, to rescue abandoned children in the Dominican Republic. Today, a new day begins for the Dominguez family!
