iPad 2 and More Giveaway!

Some dear friends of ours, the Brownings are hosting a iPad 2 and More Giveaway, on their blog to help us raise travel funds, so we can go get our little Brian! I am very excited about the Giveaway and I pray that God blesses!! Charrissa has been a blessing to me in many ways. Phillip and Charrissa understand what this is all about, they rescued their daughter and son from Eastern Europe last December. Brian is at risk for being transferred to an institution, we are trying to get there as fast as we can, but it will be close. We are praying for God's perfect timing and that he will still be in the orphanage when we get there. This is not a game....this is very real and it is an URGENT matter, Brian is a beautiful child in many ways and we love him so much. The thought that there is a very real risk, that he could be transferred to an institution where he may NOT be adoptable, and would spend the rest of his life without the love of a family...without hope is just UNBEARABLE!!! Please, we know that not everyone is able to give, but you can cross post this and help spread the word!! Thank you so much for your help!!

Go here to their blog to see the Giveaway info:

His life is depending on us, we need to get there asap, please, help us to be able to go get him and bring him home, help him to be able to know the love of a family! Thank you!!

An Important Call To PRAYER

We really need to get our USCIS approval, so we are asking friends and family to Please Pray that we get our "Golden Ticket" this week. BRIAN will be 5 1/2 in May and is at GREAT risk for being transferred to a mental institution. Where he may not be adoptable. We are trying to get there ASAP....it would be amazing if we got our approval this week, something that only God can do!!

Luke 18:27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

We serve a God who hears and answers prayer!!

Preparing For Rain

We are waiting for USCIS Approval, wow...it seems like it has been so long, we thought that we would have our Dossier in E.E. in February...then February slipped away. We then had our hopes set high, we honestly thought that we could get our adoption paperwork expedited.But for reasons that we can not see right now, God has not allowed our approval to come quickly. We are still waiting.................. Our little boy Brian is at great risk for being transferred, we more than likely will be going to an institution rather than an orphanage to fight to get him., he may go to an institution where he may not be adoptable. We know that the Lord knows about that better than we do. We can only see right here right now, God can see the entire picture. We pray...we cry out, we ask our heavenly father to help us get there soon, we cry out to our God who is in control. We don't always understand. We will wait on Him and trust Him that we will one day soon bring home our son. It is hard to wait, we have been loving that little boy for a long time. I want to hold my son and tell him that I love him. So as March slips away, we trust God's timing and we patiently wait on the Lord. PLEASE PRAY for us....PLEASE PRAY for our little Brian.

While we wait, we prepare, God has placed us on this journey, we did not know what He had in store for us...we just knew that one day we would adopt. We are forever changed now that we see what God has for us, we don't want to be on any other journey, but this one. We are so thankful!! So we prepare... we are still raising funds and we are getting his room ready (this is the paper pregnancy "nesting" part ) we are so excited and so ready to bring him home! PLEASE join us in prayer, may our Dossier be there in April ( very hard to write that, thought we would be there in April ) and that we may be able to travel soon!!

1Thesselonians 1:3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

Psalm 5:1 ¶  Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
Psalm 5:2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
Psalm 5:3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

Psalm 5:11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

  

Isaiah 40:30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Remember, our blog auction is going until Sunday night....we still have a lot of Buckeyes candy......also remember that this auction is to bring Brian home. Thank You!!

Please Pray for Kirill and the Davis family!!

Remember...What It Is All About

Across the sea, there is a special little boy waiting for us. His picture is right here where I can see it as I sit here to write this post. Anyone who has ever had to raise a lot of funds knows that this is not easy. In the sea of adopting families we can all grow weary in well doing. There are so many stories...so many families out there raising funds to help bring there sweet little ones home. Our little Brian's sweet face is what keeps me going on this journey! I know that it is the same for many families....there are so many of us, getting so close and we still have some fundraising to do, we still need most of the travel funds to help us get these little ones home. You have stopped by my blog to see how things have been going, I still think that I am a boring blogger....I had a "follower" quit following :(...oh well. Don't they know that these efforts are for something wonderful...to bring our little boy home. Right now most of us are in the midst of one or more fundraising efforts, it is certainly busy for all these families. Not everyone is meant to adopt, and not everyone can give, but the MOST important thing that everyone can do is pray, and we need to...right now it is so important. There so many children waiting for their families to come get them, some families fighting hard for their children, right now they are fighting to be able to bring them home, so many more waiting for their families to find them. So I am asking for prayer...a lot of prayer...prayer and fasting...we need to get these children home......so this is what this is all about:



Brian



We are so close...still waiting for USCIS approval, we still need about 12,000.
