He is the sweetest 11 year old boy I have ever met. I really can't explain why I am so in love with this child. He was the happiest little man and such a gentleman, pulling out my chair for me and holding back tree branches so they didn't hit me in my face.
Anyway Brandon half expected me to return home from my trip wanting to adopt a little Haitian baby - What he didn't expect was me coming home and saying "We need to find a way to adopt this boy, he's our son" Intense I know and after much research and many hours spent on the computer, I figured that it was impossible, not just because of the money it takes to adopt but because he's only 11 years younger than me which first aggravated me that something so silly would stop me from giving this boy a home, but then realized how it would be a little crazy for me to have an 11 year old boy, that's nearly a teenager. Anyway I am still trying to figure out a way to make this boys life better, My worry is that when he turns 16 and is too old for the orphanage, where will he go?.
So whilst I was googling the orphanage where Peterson lives, I came across this... whilst its main focus is on the Samaritan's purse it talks about the orphanage and how it got started, and you HAVE to watch the video. It broke my heart, all I kept saying to Brandon through tears was "That's the one... That's our son" (I was pretty emotional after leaving there and arriving back into one of the richest countries in the world!)
What does sacrifice look like?
There are people who give, and there are others who give beyond themselves until there is nothing left. Then they start all over again.
Esaie is one of these people.
