I ordered mine but it is...great review of the book. I ordered mine but it isn't here yet. I didn't know Compassion Advocates receive a copy? How does that work? <br /><br />I became an Advocate in June 2011..... I feel some of what you are feeling. My church is not open either to me speaking on behalf of Compassion. God is working through and it has been amazing to see how he has opened doors. He will do that for you too! <br /><br />Thanks for sharing..... <br /><br />Much love,<br />TeenaTeenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04582391374202077005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767981083789225831.post-65558168520938388312012-02-26T21:58:00.043-05:002012-02-26T21:58:00.043-05:00I'm going through this journey, too...it's...I'm going through this journey, too...it's so good to know others are as well. I've "customized" it to fit my life and my family, but it's still been a good experience so far. I really enjoyed my first feast day today! But I'm really looking forward to getting back into the fast tomorrow. <br /><br />Like Rebecca said, don't feel discouraged. Sometimes all we do is plant seeds. That's all God asks us to do - it's up to Him to bring in the harvest. I've been an advocate for 15+ years now....some years were stellar and some were not. This is God's work and He calls us to join Him. That's exactly what you did. Keep praying, keep planting seeds - you WILL see a harvest.<br /><br />You are doing great work just by being a sponsor. I've gone weeks without letters, too - and I have 18 that are writing to me.

I will hopefully start next weekend, so although I'll be a bit behind you it will be good to hear how you are doing with it and be encouraged by you! <br /><br />I only have 4 kids, so I am sure you recieve more letters than I do, but I feel like I go in waves. I'll get 4 letters within one or two weeks, and then won't get any for 5 or 6 weeks. I am sure there are some on the way. <br /><br />And please, don't feel discouraged...don't underestimate what a great impact you are having, for the child you did find a sponsor for, and possibly many more who will eventually be sponsored because of you. You have to keep in mind that it is our job to be obedient, God takes care of the hearts. So maybe some of the people you shared with were not heart ready to be sponsors, but you could most definitely be planting seeds for something that could bloom down the road. And don't forget the 12 kids whose lives you are impacting!<br /><br />My friend, please know you are not a failure, and I am sure God is using you in ways you don't even realize!Shebecomeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286489270031164132noreply@blogger.com
