The Hebrews "hall of faith" is filled with inspirational accounts of God calling His children to step out of their comfort zones (way out!) in obedience to Him. Every time I read the words "By faith...", my heart swells with anticipation of how God uses each situation for His glory. Likewise, we will obey His call.
Our new son turned 3 in March and was born with congenital heart disease. He had the Glenn procedure done when he was 18 months old and he will need another procedure which can wait until after he gets home as far as we know. How soon he will need the procedure after arriving home will depend on his oxygen saturation among other things.
We will of course be praying for the Lord to heal him how and when He sees fit. Lord willing, he will be home early 2017. To God be all the glory!!
We are so very grateful to those of you who came alongside us as the body of Christ during our adoption in 2013. You were truly the hands and feet of Jesus through your prayers, love, gifts, cooked meals and financial support. Since some of you have already asked about how to help with this adoption, we have created a Youcaring account with an initial goal of $4,000.00.
As always, we covet your prayers. Adoption is often a spiritual battle and we are already experiencing the effects of that. As you pray for our family and our new son, please pray for his heart both physically and emotionally. We know God answered the prayers we prayed for our daughter while she was still an ocean away in 2013. We saw the proof of that when she made it home alive despite her failing health. We praise Him for what He did then and we praise Him for what He is doing now.
Thank you so much!

*****Update on our host daughter from Asia (that stayed with us this past December)*****
A family committed to adopt her about two weeks after she left us. We were overjoyed with this development and kept in contact with her new family as they began the monumentous paperwork process. Meanwhile, we said yes to the Lord's calling and began the process to adopt our son. We then found out that her new family could not proceed with the adoption. Another family is hosting her this summer in the US and we will be prayerfully waiting to see if they or another family will feel led to be her forever family.
Please pray for these sweet kiddos!
