I am running a half marathon on Sept 24, 2011 and I get to run for World Vision!
So....would you consider sponsoring a child?
Before you think in your head "we don't have an extra $35 a month to sponsor a child" let me give you some things to think about.
First of all, we not only sponsor a child through Compassion International, we also sponsor their Child Survival Program.
And let me remind you that my husband is a teacher and I only work 12-18 hours a week. If we can afford it, you can too.*
Do you have cable? Do you buy a lot of Starbucks? Do you eat out a lot? Do you have super cute clothes? Do you own a lot of purses and shoes? Do you love a good filet? (I just answered yes to all those questions, except the cable part and the super cute clothes part). Am I trying to guilt you into sponsoring a child?
Yep.
Pray about it. Get back to me by emailing me. Do it.
*Lest you think that I think I am better than you because we have decided to sponsor children, mothers and babies. I don't think that. Promise.

Good for you Abby! We sponsor a child in Haiti. I "adopted" him when I worked at Indiana Wesleyan when he was 3 or 4 and he is now 12!
