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...
Dedication Day
We had Maylynn dedicated on November 15th. This was a special day - almost 1 year ago we had first seen her picture and knew that she would be our daughter. Now we were dedicating her to our Lord - promising to raise her with God's word with the hopes that one day she would choose to follow Him on her own...
We all went up on stage - she did fine for a few minutes and she allowed Pastor Steve to hold her for a very short time! As you can see, she started crying and the only way i could get her to stop was to bribe her with some gum:) So, i really didn't get to hear the special prayer that was said or anything else for that matter:( But, It was kinda cool because the sermon that day was about Romans Ch.8 and part of the lesson was about adoption! Isn't God's timing so awesome:)
