Unfathomable blessing...

I hadn't heard from Emnatu for almost 3 weeks.
That is unusual, and honestly, tough on my heart.
They aren't just random kids we sponsor. 
Actually, truth be told, we have sponsor kids, but our boys
 are not sponsored by us.  Emnatu already had a sponsor,
he didn't have a Mom and Dad.  Mezgebu didn't
have a sponsor, but CHC never got back to
 us on our request to sponsor him....
Emnatu emailed yesterday, 
& asked when I was coming.
It's been a month since he dared ask the question.
How cool is our God? 
Within hours I was Skyping
 with them telling them that in 10 days I
would be standing in front of them.
During the Skype, Emnatu disappeared for a bit.
Gizachew whispered, "Emnatu is reading his Bible."
I asked them to show me, and Emnatu came to the
camera with Bible in hand and said he was
reading Matthew 7:7 and then read it for me.

Ask and it will be given to you;
seek and you will find;
 knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives;
he who seeks finds; and to him
who knocks, the door will be opened.


"Which of you, if his son asks for bread,
will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish,
 will give him a snake?
If you, then, though you are evil,
know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more will your Father in heaven
give good gifts to those who ask him!

Man, these kids melt my heart...
We asked, God gave....
HALLELUJAH!!
