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...

A Might God!

Wow! I was going to wait until 3:00 today before posting my previous post but I guess I just needed to get all of that out. Maybe I should have waited but I guess it also give everyone an idea of how emotionally taxing it is to adopt. What a rollercoaster it’s been today!  I just gave up all hope that we could travel anytime soon and Guess what happens!  Our agency called me about 30 minutes ago to let me know that “It’s here!” our TA showed up!!  I could not believe it!!! I still can’t!  We are still hoping that He can move some mountains though… We won’t know until Monday (or Tues.) of our consulate appt.  We’ve requested Aug. 4th – with the hopes that we will leave next week.  Or, Aug. 18th – so we can see our boys for a week before we are gone for 2 weeks…  Crazy – Crazy – Crazy!

 

So – WE NEED OUR PRAYER WARRIORS TO PRAY FOR AN AUG. 4TH DATE AND AIRFARE/FLIGHTS TO GET US THERE AND BACK.  Well, that’s what I want and hopefully, that’s what He wants – So, I guess a better prayer would be to pray for His will to be done above all else but if you’d like to pray specifically for the Aug. 4th date that would be good tooJ!!!
