This week has been very difficult for me
My heart has simply ached to feel the weight of these babies in my arms
I have children sitting in an orphanage in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Let that sink in
I have TWO CHILDREN...
REAL CHILDREN
sitting in an ORPHANAGE in one of the top ten most dangerous cities in the WORLD
Every day that I wake up is one day closer to bringing them home
It is just so difficult. It is hard to go to sleep at night in my warm bed
after my warm bath knowing that my children do not have that same
luxury. It has just been hard this week.
We have passed our last 30 day non appeal period and so that is an obvious blessing
However, we are stuck right now because we do not have the funds to move forward
I am attempting with all that is in me to trust that God will provide..its just SO hard!
Plain and simple...Its hard to trust when you have NO clue where in the world it will come
from. Whew, this blind faith thing is NOT EASY!!!
The Lord has provided amazing friends old and new along the way to encourage me this
week! I have seen how He has knitted our hearts together and I just stand amazed.
If there was ONE thing right now that I would ask you to pray for it would be
this...
We are having a silent auction/benefit dinner this Saturday, Nov 3 at our church.
I would ask that you PRAY that we would raise enough money to move yet another
step closer to the babies! We are SO close...SO CLOSE!!
Please pray that people would truly understand the need
This blog is crazy because its so late and Im super tired after spending a weekend with
high school girls from our church. :)
Here are two of the latest pictures of our sweet babies
Chloe in her super cute jammies
and this is the latest picture of Eli.
He just looks so little
I would like to thank each of you for praying for our family.
We would not be able to get through this without them
THANK YOU
