Lydia --> my hero!

Dear Lydia,

You don't know me, but I read your blog today and I've decided that you are my hero. Who ever thought that a little orphan girl in Eastern Europe would be so loved by a young girl the the USA when no one has ever paid any attention to her? And, who ever thought that a young girl like you could could inspire a thirty-something mom like me? Well, you have.

I, too, have a great love for God and for his little ones with Down Syndrome. My heart breaks for the forgotten and discarded ones around the world. Reece's Rainbow is doing a great work and I love this organization.

When I committed to raise $1000 for Maxim for the Angel Tree I was afraid. I was afraid that I couldn't do it. I was afraid that I would let myself and others down when I failed to meet my goal. I was just afraid that it wouldn't make a difference anyway.

Thank you for your childlike faith. What a breath of fresh air! It is what I need. I've been inhibited by what others might think of me. I should only care what God thinks of me. People are going to think I'm crazy! Best wishes and God bless you as you run this race!

Love,

Stephanie
