We Are Blessed!

I just posted this on FB, so pardon the redundancy.  I just had to say it again!!

We are in awe of how The Body of Christ is showing itself to us!!!!!!

We are truly blessed by our brothers and sisters in Christ.   We would be hopeless without Jesus and without His love and example we would all alone.

I am so glad that The Church is more than 4 walls and a few rows of pews.

Thank you friends.


It's In The Mail!

Our

I-600A, Application for Advance Processing of Orphan Petition to The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services

is in the mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Please pray for an expedited processing of our application! 

When we verify it's receipt, we will be calling our senator and asking if they can assist in having USCIS expedite our application.

There is credible evidence that adoptions in Elliot's country may be stopped.  We need a fast timeline for this document to be processed.  We have come too far :)

A Month's Worth of Fun

I am not sure where time goes, but it sure flies!  We have done a lot since my last picture update.

Planted a garden


And it grew from this  .....           to this                            


Our first harvest

Our first broken bone. 
I pray it will be our last as it has been quite a process.

A Child Shall Lead Them

I would like to introduce you to a dear, precious youg lady that blesses me to tears.


Please meet ... Lady E

Lady E is all of ten years old and she is determined to help us bring Elliot home.  She has the BIGGEST heart I have ever met in a young lady.   Her mom and I are good friends and almost daily Lady E has an idea for us to raise money to fund Elliot's adoption.  This sweet girl knows how to make me cry!  She is so excited, you would believe that Elliot were her brother-to-be.

Can you believe a ten year old is all jazzed up about helping us pay for our adoption???!!!

She knows the miracle of adoption first hand as she has SIX adopted brothers and sisters, who have found a forever home with her parents.  She wants that for Elliot.

Lady E has created a line of soaps that she is selling and donating the profits to Elliot's adoption fund.  


Three of her recent creations are ...
Honey Oatmeal with Vitamin E, Chocolate Oatmeal and Orange Peel with Vitamin E.



What a blessing! 

What an example she is to her siblings!!!
What an example she is to my children!!
What an example she is to the world!!!

What an example and encouragement to me!!!!
When I have doubts and wonder how this mountain will be moved, I let a child lead me.
