There is no new news to share yet. We are still waiting on God, knowing He has a plan in all of this. Thank you for continuing to pray with us expectantly. It is so uplifting when you all pray with us and continue to believe we are not crazy to wait on God here. We know He has a beautiful family in store for us. In this time while we wait we know our time is not wasted because no matter WHAT God is trying to accomplish... we are growing stronger as we wait, He is sharpening us and shaping us. At times this just feels like wasted time... but we are waiting on the Lord and asking for His guidance... we just don' t have the desire to jump out in front of Him due to our desire to have a family. It's about Him and His plans not us. We don't consider this time, this season... a waste.
It DID occur to me lately that that some of you may wonder where your money has gone or will be going... perhaps you were wondering if donating to us was a waste or that we were not greatful. Please be assured that we are still TREMENDOUSLY greatful. If you have given money to us it has not at all been wasted. Some of it has gone to the orphanage as it needed to in order to move forward in the adoption... that is NOT wasted though... it has been used for the care of BEAUTIFUL Haitian children that are waiting to go home with their forever families. It has helped feed them and pay the awesome staff that works so hard at the orphanage. It has not been a waste. I wish I could take you to Haiti to show you what a HUGE blessing it has been, no matter WHAT! Also MUCH of the money donated is still in an adoption account earning interest and waiting to bless some beautiful children by helping them come home. PLEASE know... God is in control and your money has not gone to waste. Please continue to pray with us as our financial need for these adoptions is still great. We trust God will provide.
The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.
Proverbs 11:25

Praying, believing and knowing it is not a waste!
Never a waste to learn what God wants you to learn!! still praying!
Romans 5:3-5
"Not only so, but we also rejoice from our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us."
I felt lead to tell you to write your promises on paper. The Lord spoke that into my life a few days ago. Write them down so if you start to doubt, you can see your promises. Post them in your home and speak them out. Your children will come home in the name of Jesus!
Continuing to pray & believe...knowing that this time is not a time of "waste" but of waiting on the Lord.
Continuing to live out your name!!! What a perfect fit. I just love that. God is faithful and he hears our prayers. He sees each tear. He is right beside you in this and has promised to never leave you or forsake you. How cool it is to know that He is in control. Still praying and still believing. Can't wait to see what God is up to. He always works everything out for good for those who love him and are called according to his purpose. Praise Him!!!
