Almost Home!!!

Please be in prayer! July 3rd is our exit interview in Ghana.  Our POA (Power of Attorney) will conduct our exit interview on our behalf.  This is one of the last major hurdles.  The next step is our visa print date.  Once we have our visa print date, we will purchase our plane tickets to bring E'man home.  I won't lie...the waiting is exhausting. The expenses just keep coming. However, we have seen God do so many amazing things along this journey.  So, I wanted to share a few of the recent stories with you.

  • As you know, one family paid for the girls to go with us!  How amazing is  that?
  • Two weeks ago, our insurance company agreed to replace our roof which is almost 18 years old.
  • Today we received the bill for the last month of foster care for $210. Yesterday, a family who has adopted, unexpectedly gave us a check for $200. Trust me, at this point, every penny matters.
  • On Thursday, I was blessed with an opportunity to speak to the Sunflower Scout Troop in Birmingham. I was amazed, at these young lady's questions and concern for the children around the world. In fact, the next day they rallied and filled a suitcase full of supplies for one of the schools we visited. The kids are going to be so surprised!

Our prayers have the power to touch God's heart and give us opportunity to see the Kingdom of Heaven kiss earth! Praying for you to be comforted, for your faith to soar and for Him to show you what you've known all along. He is there, always.

Adoption T-Shirts are now available

Adoption shirts: Below are the three shirts we are selling to help cover our travel costs to Africa. As most of you know, we have to take two 10 day trips to complete the adoption.  Each shirt is $20.  There are two options when ordering. In-state and hand delivered or the shipping option which includes a $3.00 fee.  You can use your paypal or account or send us a check.  Information is located on the right side. Why these designs: We have been CHOSEN by God, and through the sacrifice of Jesus, we have been ADOPTED into his family. We did not choose Emmanuel to join our family; God has chosen our family for Emmanuel. This process has been hard in so many ways, but NOW we can see the light and know our gift from God is months away. Thank you for joining us in this journey to bring Emmanuel home.   The deepest and strongest foundation of adoption is located not in the act of humans adopting humans, but in God adopting humans. And this act is not part of his ordinary providence

Expecting

We are expecting! The journey continues...I am fasciated how God works through his people. I am so far of where I want to be spiritually, but yet he continues to use us. Over the past year, the Lord has challenged and even confronted me with his word. The question I have been wrestling with is... do I believe it...do I believe all of it? In short, I do! I believe every single word, period, adjective, noun...to be the inspired word of God. I often hear things like man wrote it or what about dinosaurs, or this or that....Have you read it? I am convinced you will never be person God wants you to be until you believe in the power of his word. Of course man wrote it... God has always also used men as his vessel. How would you expect him to write it? It truly humbles me that he would inspire men to speak through him then as he is now. In fact, the creator writes messages to us all the time in the rainbows, clouds, rain and sunny skies. The other interesting thing is those questions how
