You are the CUTEST Julia! I am so blessed to know that there are women like you who are making a difference in the world. Thank you for challenging us to go and do the same. I am also so happy to hear a young women talk about her adoption experience so positively. We need to hear your story!

Jules! Wow!!!
I had to get the kleenx out…you are such a special young lady and I am sooo proud to be apart of your extended family. I love the look in your eyes when you are on a mission trip with the children. The good Lord's love shines through you every second of everyday. Every life that you touch is blessed.
I can't wait to see what the future has to hold for you! Very exciting!!!
Love you dearly,
Monica

Julia~ Wow, I just love your heart! Isn't it amazing how we go into a situation like that thinking we will be the ones changing them (and God thru us really does), but that we leave feeling even more changed by them. Thank you for sharing your story, very inspiring! =)

Julia,
My name is Bridgette. Your mom is my Program Director in Waxahachie. This is such a beautiful and inspiring article. I must confess it did bring tears to my eyes. I MUST donate a pair of shoes for your next trip! Your parents raised you with a BIG HEART for others. May God continue to pour good people and great experiences into your life!

Thank you Julia for writing this. Now My heart want to go back to Latvia – not only for the children but for the families and the Believers. I am waiting until the Lord opens the door for us (you, me and those who can come) to return.__Love to you and thanks to this blog…__

What a cool job! I live in Plano and I think my kids participated in the Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls when they were students at Prestonwood Christian Academy. My husband and I also work with the Jr Hi Choir at Prestonwood and we used to take them to sing to the kids there.
Amen! God is so good!

Julia,

Even as I read I see your smile and it’s from a pure heart – The pure in heart shall see God.
You are so beautiful!!!
Reading your blog centers so many things in my life as it grabs me by my heart – that is Christ.
It also recalls the very steps of Our Father from our beginnings to our endings – Just as He said He would do – take up the Fatherless & the Motherless – setting the solitude in families.
God is so awesome and faithful to Love us!!!
P.S. I Godly envy “your job” until I am called into my mission/passion.

May His grace and face continue to shine upon you as you continue to weave Christ in our lives.

Shalom,
Tamecia Lathrop
