I remember...

I remember my dad playing "Hey Sally Walker Walkin' Down the Street" with Children at a Daytime Shelter in Ethiopia~

I remember this sweet baby (not sure if it's a boy or girl) walking down the street in Korah~

I remember the children and adults climbing through the trash is search of food or sellable items~

I remember this women carrying this load of fire burning sticks off Entoto Mountain~

I remember carrying Easton in the Bjorn as I met these children at Project 61 in Korah

I remember this sweet boys face at Kids Care Orphanage! I PRAY that he has been blessed with a family! He was ADORABLE!!!

I remember Ryan and I with the orphans of Kids Care~

I remember taking this picture of my amazing husband surrounded by orphans~

I remember giving these orphan boys dumdums at Kingdom Vision Orphanage- (this was the orphanage that took care of Easton for his first few weeks of life)

I remember my Mom hugging these precious orphaned children~

I remember all the cribs and all the orphans~

There are many days that I cannot get Africa, Ethiopia, Orphanages, Children, Orphans out of my mind. Some of the memories are beautiful, some are painful. Almost a year ago I experienced Africa for the first time. I have forgot very little of what I saw and experienced. Most of my memories are accompanied by a picture, I am so thankful for the thousands of images that I can stroll through in I-photo. There is so much to process and even over 330 days later I'm not sure what to do with all my memories.
I have prayed about my future involvement with orphans. Our adoption of Easton was only the beginning. I know God has BIG plans for the Fulmer family. Obviously, my days are full of changing diapers and feeding my two precious babies but I long for more. I want to serve. I want to save. I want to advocate for the orphans I witnessed in Ethiopia. Recently, I have connected with Bridge-a-Life Ministry through Bayside Community Church. They are supporting Foster and Adoption families in our area. I am thankful that God has opened this door of service to me and I'm excited to see how God uses our family to protect the fatherless.

James 1:27
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
