The Beginning of this Journey...

The Lord began this journey towards our second adoption about 1 year ago. He put on our hearts to sponsor Kay - at Harmony Outreach and we did. When i first saw her, i fell in love with her and prayed for her to join our family. It wasn't until May 2008 that the Lord began to use her to open our hearts to adoption again. That was when we had John Bentley from Harmony Outreach (her foster program) staying with us and he told us that Kay was ready to be adopted internationally. We prayed about her and began the adoption process again. Unfortunately, it wasn't in God's plan for her to join our family but He did use her to open our hearts up to adoption again and we are excited to see where He takes us. We are Trusting in Him.

The Lord has brought Maylynn into our lives and hearts on Nov. 21st (that is when we received her referral). We are excited to see Him bring her home to us. Please pray for the rest of our journey. We can't wait to bring Maylynn home...

Busy, busy, busy

This is kind of a test post from our laptop that we will be bringing - i want to be sure that it works!
 
We are just busy with preparations for the trip today.  Lance is home finishing up a big disciples cross order - what a huge blessing!  It will help with the additional expenses that seem to creep up... He's also taking care of car and house issues as well as, getting some daddy time with the kids - he's such a wonderful dad:)
 
I am busy running errands today (so glad L. is home so i can do this) bank, shopping for gifts for our precious gems at home, last minute stuff etc...
 
Some unexpecting blessings too: someone from church missed out on donating some cleft palate nipples for our mission trip last NOv. - so, she is dropping them off for us to take to Maylynn's orphanage!  What a blessing - i can't wait to give it to them - i also have some clothes and medicince that i will give them.  Also, some dear friends have unexpectedly donated some $$ to us too - Huge blessing! Thank you to everyone!
 
I am super emotional these days - cry at anything - crying right now as i am typing - blah!!  i don't remember being this emotional with Hayleigh - i guess i already know what a blessing that she'll be to our family:)
 
Later - i'll post our itinerary...
 
Many blessings
