Lawyer fees funded!!!

I stand amazed yet I wonder WHY in the world am I so amazed??? God has never let us down...never failed to show up...never failed to have everything all figured out....where I fail continually...fall short always...try to figure it out all on my own....He is forever faithful...always providing...NEVER abandoning!!!

Our Mighty God has once again provided for our family in a miraculous way. A precious family...a family who's passion is to care for the orphan...has just donated $1500 to fund...FULLY FUND...Jubilee's finalization fee's. Man...it knocks me over every time...every time the Lord clearly tells us He will provide...many times I doubt...I'm fearful...but He ALWAYS fulfills His promises even in my sinful doubt.

Lord, I find myself so unworthy all of the time yet you love me...you care for me...you never leave me. Thank you for your incredible provision! Thank you for continually showing yourself to me. Thank you for the journey's you have chosen for our family. I give YOU all the glory and honor for all you have done and will do. None of these blessings are because of us but completely because of you.

Now all we need is our court date...should scheduled be any day now!!!

Shirt clearance...don't miss out!

We are so close to the fees we need for the lawyer...we are about a month away from finalizing our sweet girl's adoption and we will have to delay the court hearing if we can't pay the final lawyer fees....obviously not something we want to do.

Hurry before they are all gone!!

This is LOVE!

My oldest babe holding my youngest babe...man, I love this kid...he is so tender and so loving with his siblings! (most of the time ;)

Seriously?

Do you ever just sit back and watch your babes and think, "Seriously Lord, You've entrusted these amazing babes to me?" What an incredibly overwhelming responsibility...fabulously, perfectly His plan...so glorious the honor and privilege!

I had the honor of speaking at a seminar at our agency last weekend and as I shared about our kiddos, I became very emotional. I was emotional at the realization that I could have missed this...had I gotten what I thought I wanted...what I thought the Lord should do...I would have missed the most amazing, miraculous treasures of my life.  As I spoke to these sweet families and I looked into each of their eyes, I just knew they were at place that we were at over 11 years ago...families longing for a babe to hold...desperate for a child to call their own...not understanding why the Lord gave them the desire for child yet they were barren...all of those emotions hit me as I showed them a picture of our family and all I could say was, "The thought that we could have missed this had we gotten what we thought we wanted...."It took me a minute to pull it together...I didn't need to say anymore...the tears in their eyes told me they understood....they understood that God's plans are greater...His ways are higher! Praying for each of them as they decide what they will do next!!

Father, thank you for pursuing us...for giving us what YOU had planned for us! Thank you for being so gentle and patient with us!

Labor pains...

It's so easy for me to get caught up in the sadness of this world...often times broken...broken for so many that are hurting.  Families longing to bring their children home but red tape is prohibiting that...children longing for a forever families but no one is stepping forward...families struggling with medical issues...friends losing loved ones...losing houses...

Times are heavy...times are difficult...can you feel the labor pains? Our Lord is coming and He is coming soon!! Are you ready...are you watching?

 “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. ² Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. ³ Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, ⁴ but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. ⁵But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. ⁶ “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming;  go out to meet him!’ ⁷ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. ⁸ And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ ⁹ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ ¹⁰ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. ¹¹ “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ ¹² But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ 
¹³ “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming. ~Matthew 25:1-16

Be diligent in the Lord's work...be watching...He is coming...

lift your eyes to our God...

...not in brokenness but in pure, beautiful HOPE and ASSURANCE...

whatever trial you are having to endure...

HE IS IN IT!!!!!!!!!!!
