~ Armor of God Breastplate of Righteousness Study ~

 This week we are talking about the Breastplate of Righteousness. This is a good study that I did from a book on the armor. I love to study and teach about the help we get from God.

~ Compassion Birthday Letters ~

     Birthday letters have been a challenge for the first few years, but I finally got in a good rhythm with them. 

    This year I did something different. I have the first main letter for most of my girls: 

Then for Bangladesh and Sri Lanka I did one without the talking about Jesus as Savior. 

For the second page I do it with a photo of me, here is an example of one of the photos for those girls turning 2 yrs. I have publisher with all 17 years set up so I just put their name on it and save to upload. 

I did not have photos for anything after 17 when I graduated from high school. So, my older girls get this. 

My favorite animal is a polar bear, so each year I find a new polar bear cake and a new polar bear card for them and send them on one page. This is 2024. 

It goes quick and easy. each month. I send them two months ahead of time so they get through translation and the girls are always so excited that I wrote for their birthdays. 

I usually have a lot of letters to do and this is the quickest and efficient way for me to do them. And like I said the girls seem to love it. 

~ Don't Stop Praying ~

  This is what I am planning for the girls' extra letter in April, since Easter is in March this year their extra letter will be an Easter story letter. 

~ Gideon Bible Study ~

Here is the study I did one month on Gideon. I need to do these again I have done the Armor of God and the kids like it but some say they miss the stories. 

IF you like it I do not mind you using it, these are all shared and you can edit for different stuff too. 

~ Armor of God Belt of Truth Study ~

  

The two studies got mixed up a bit, but all the days were there. LOL!! I will put them in order of what I sent the Littles since it is first. You can send them whenever you like if you borrow them.

Saturday's will be just on the studies that I have done, then it will be like once a month when I catch up to where I am. I only have a couple saved. The armor study, Jonah with "THE QUESTION", and Gideon. 

~ Jonah's Story ~ Question? ~

  This post is the best question that I have ever asked the girls and the most responses that I have ever received. This was a three part series. 

Now I did not think that I would get a good response, but I knew that the girls love the devotionals that I write, I get a lot of thank you for them. But some of these were too funny. I have not found all of them yet as they came in while i was sick so here are the comments I have found now. 

~ Happy Valentine's With a Love Letter from God to my Girls ~ Nana's Boys ~

  I am sending this letter today that I got off the web and I wrote a page of letter before the letter to God just introducing them to the letter and put a Valentine's photo of my dolls in for them. Most of the girls' love the dolls. They love to see what I have been making to sell for them. 

    This month was all hearts on letters. These are a couple reasons I do not write to boys. I just have girl talk in my brain with so many nieces. LOL!! But I did a boys one for Nana Kathie who writes to boys. She does not have very many boys. 

    That will be what I send to the girls except Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. You are welcome to borrow if you like it .. I am happy to see it go out in other hands too. 

    The one for boys below. 

~ Heaven Changes Everything ~

  This is my song for the girls that I sent in January. I love this song. I also love Big Daddy Weave, they are great and have had a lot of great songs over the years. I send a special letter each month, song or letter story. It is fun to share with them. 

Hope you enjoy reading the song, it is an amazing song that is just so peaceful for those who know Jesus. 

~ Reconnect to Compassion 2012 ~

    I did not have a child for a couple of years while I was dealing with getting diagnosed with bipolar and getting the medication right. But when I got my bipolar medication and on food stamps. we decided that I had the income and needed to sponsor a girl since I could not go to church and tithe there. I was dealing with bipolar and people. 

She reminded me of Edilia my first girl. She was just 6 years old when I started supporting her. We spent the next ten years together and she just graduated in 2023. She even dyed her hair red to be like me. I think she looks good with red hair. I miss her and her letters so much. But I did get to visit once. ​

I searched the website for Honduras looking for that one special girl who would change my life forever. And Dayana was the girl I chose to spend the next few years with.

We had so much fun when I came to visit Honduras in October 2014. I visited just 7 months after I sponsored her.

In March of 2014 I was able to receive disability for the bipolar and lupus and I sponsored Kimberly. She was just 6 when I sponsored her too. She is turning 16 this year.

She was 10 when I received her as my sponsor girl. Now she is 20 and about to graduate this year from the program and I will be devastated when I lose her. I pray that she finds me, and we can keep in touch. She also has red hair now too. My girls are so funny but shows that they love me in ways I do not deserve. They want to look like me. I am so humbled to be loved like that.

Jennifer is my other core group of girls, she is a correspondent sponsorship, but I love her so much she had to be added to this post. Jennifer came to be my sponsor child in April of 2014.

I was given her as a correspondence sponsor girl in November of 2014. She graduated in 2021 and found me on Facebook shortly after leaving the program. I am so happy to have her there where I can write and hear from her still.

Maricel is my last girl that was my core group from the 2014's. She called me auntie and wrote long and often. I miss those long letters and lots of sharing and talking about end times together. She is an amazing young lady.

I have so many girls that I have had a while, and have good relationships with, but I do not have enough room for everyone, but these girls were the beginning of my return to Compassion.
