Praise God for His Goodness!!!


Would you just look at her? She is a tiny miracle. Well, she is a HUGE miracle in a tiny package. I promised more, and it has been a while. There have been many things taking place in our household. Beautiful things that the Lord is doing in and around this sweet baby girl's life. I cannot express with words what it is like to have her. There are times that I look at her and I forget that she didn't come from me. She is just so perfectly made for our family. I am in awe of the Lord and how He has done that. I thought it would be so different. I thought it would always be in the back of my mind that she was adopted, but really I have to force that to the front in order to pray for our birthmom with fervor. She is SOOO sweet. She hardly ever cries, and she is so peaceful. I can't really tell you - you would have to see her yourself. But anyone who has held her will testify to her sweet peacefulness. What a gift!

Please continue to pray for our birth-mom, Candice. I cannot imagine the things she has been through in life. I cannot even begin to tell you how difficult life has been for her. Please pray for her to know the Truth. Please pray for her to come to know our Savior. Please. If you rejoice with us, pray with us for her salvation, and for her to know the truth and be set free from the bondage of the enemy. There is much to be thankful for at this time, but there is much to continue to pray over. Think of how her arms must ache - with a body that reminds her daily that she gave birth- to the emptiness she feels in her arms... can we really even begin to imagine what that would be like? I can't. I know I can't. Her heart is breaking and she doesn't know the Comforter. Please. pray with us for her...
Love to all of you, and I will update again sooner next time... maybe :)
