Just a thought...
some have questioned the idea of us taking in a teen mom from the 'hood and her son, Ro'mance ....and I know it was often with good intentions people did not want to see us get used or hurt. But just think about it this way for a minute.
Ro'mance could be back in the Lake Wales 'hood and his little ears would probablly have heard things they shouldn't ..like all the latest rap songs..he may have even learned how to "booty" dance by now.
His little eyes would probably have seen things they shouldn't have, either on TV or right in front of him.
His little feet would have been planted in some scarey adult situations.
And his little mouth would probablly be singing the very songs that he would have heard...songs that degrade the love between a man and woman.
But I am here to stand up and shout..we as Christ followers CAN be the difference in someones life....for today Ro'mance is not doing these things instead, this is what he did today:
On our way to the park I was driving along and I was feeling a little down because, to be honest I would have rather been doing something on my "to do" list than taking my little toddler, Amara and Ro'mance to the park...
when all of a sudden I hear Ro'mance start to sing..loud and strong..
"This is the day, This is the day, that the Lord has made. I will rejoice, I will rejoice, and be glad in it. This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. This is the day, This is the day that the Lord has made.
What a blessing it is that God can use people like me even though I am so unworthy and ungrateful .
James 1:27
