Getting ready for the kids

We have been so busy with getting the house ready for our new kiddos and fixing all the stuff that has broken, that we have failed to pray for the kids as much as we would like to. It has been crazy trying to keep up with all the stuff that broke. This week we have replaced a hand mixer, replaced the basement door, replaced the window, replaced the holey liner in the pond, and fixed the front door. YEH!! Progress.

I have to be completely honest. It has been a tough road over the last 4 months. We have truly felt the attack and have not liked it. In the midst of trying to save for our adoption, we have had to expend much more $ than what we ever expected. The only way we have made it thru is our faith in the Lord. We know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we need to adopt these precious children. Someone asked, "What if all these things that are happening, are God's way of saying no to the adoption?" We truly believe that the Lord is only good and would not inflict harm. So, if this was not of the Lord, He would show us in ways that were "closed doors." WE are praying Psalm 91 over our home!

Anyway, thru all the obstacles, it is worth it give 4 children a forever family. It may not be the easiest thing we have ever done, but we know that with the Lord, "All things are possible."

Please continue to pray for our babies.
* for their safety
* For them to know our voices
* For them to adjust to a new life in America
* For Christian nannies to continue to surround them and share the love of Jesus.
* And, as always, prayers for a healed foot! Next appt July 21
