Where to begin...

It has been an emotional week. I am not sure where to start, but here it goes!

As the last post stated, the mom had dropped off 2 more of her children. We had prayed that the Lord would give us names of families to call. We called 6 and shared our hearts and asked them to pray about it. Some thought we were crazy, some never even called back, and some fervently prayed about it. (Interesting mix, huh? Lots of evangelistic opportunities-- another story) We continued to pray about it with them. Again, if we are the family for these 2, we will be obedient and adopt them.
On Saturday, we met with Pastor Leo from Rwanda. We believe the Lord has called us to Uganda (potentially Rwanda) . We had an amazing visit sharing our hearts for the people there and hearing his heart for educating and caring for his fellow Rwandans. Long story short, we are hoping that the Lord will open doors to bring adoption opportunities to that area and we can help.
On Sunday, K had an asthma attack and C stayed home from church. Dan took the kids and found the Lord totally orchestrating the day. The sermon (which was scheduled 3 months ago) was on adoption, the Sunday school class curriculm (scheduled months ago) was about orphans, and then our banquet was that evening.
After church, C recvd a call from a fellow Sunday School class friend. The husband said that Dan had shared about the 2 children and him and his wife were willing to step out and adopt them. After I got up off the floor, I started to cry and rejoice in what the Lord was doing. They are so excited about adopting these kiddos and that is awesome! Our prayer to find a family has been answered. We told them to pray about it to make sure this is what the Lord has called them to. Our agency does not have paperwork on these 2 so we need to wait to make sure all is well with them. There are no words to describe how thankful we are for this family. Lots of prayers are needed for this family.
The evening came and we both were very emotional about all the details. We really felt that the Lord had big plans for this day. We had a wonderful turnout and those that put it together did a great job. We shared what we thought the Lord had laid on our heart and we pray that the families will step up and walk out in faith. One had sponsored a child thru Project Lucas, so that is a huge success in itself. YEH! We ended up being blessed with enough money to cover the majority of airline tickets! Praise be to the Lord.

All in all-- it was emotional. But, an incredibly wonderful week in the Lord. Thanks to all who support us thru your words and your prayers.
Still waiting on a travel date.
