Please pray with us


Officially, I'm inviting anyone who reads this blog to begin to pray with us. We are at a point now where we are on what I've called the "search and discovery" phase. If you've read any of my other updates you know that this adoption process doesn't have a downhill. We have accepted that fact and while Richard is home this month we are pursuing (think car chase) caseworkers, document holders,  and any others who have access to children we want to know about.

We currently have the files of a sibling group that we are praying over.

It's so impersonal to say that we've "read their files" and we think they may be the ones...and yet, that is the process at this point. We will have more specific requests in the future, but TODAY, we are asking our friends to pray:
1) For the children involved.
2) For the caseworkers.
3) For the current foster parents of these children.
4) For us to have a CLEAR sign of God's best for ALL INVOLVED. We DO NOT want to step out of His plan. He has led us to this point and we want to stay focused on Him so we KNOW when we are to move and how.
5) We are praying that we can have the children before school starts next January. We do not know if this is possible, but we are praying toward that end. We are staying close to home this Christmas with that in mind. 

If you're reading this blog, will you please comment if you are praying for us? If you don't have an account, you can make up one quickly, you can even be anonymous if you want...but we need to know that our friends are praying. We want to share the MIRACLE we know is just around the corner.

  2. Praying for you even though I know it is going to be a rough road. Staying in God's will, as you very well know, isn't about what we want but what He wants for us. Adopting kids is a step off a huge cliff. He says we get a special crown for it! (That's not why we do it, but is a huge consolation) :-) There are not many who give as much as adoptive parents. God knows your heart. I am comforted everyday by His assurance of LOVE for me even though I don't live up to my own expectations of providing for these kids. I pray for your family. I pray for your trials ahead. I pray that He gets all the glory for your efforts. Amen
