A Great Night!

We are so incredibly thankful for the adoption agency we belong to! Through our agency we have joined a Yahoo Group with other families from our agency who are in various stages of the adoption journey. Some families are just starting the paperwork process, some are waiting for a referral, some are waiting for court dates, others are waiting to get travel dates, some are waiting to travel, some families are traveling right now, and other families are already home with their kids. Tonight we had an evening of prayer and praise where we just posted things God laid on our hearts. Some people offered prayers of thanks, some posted the words to great worship music, others posted their prayers of needs and desires. It is so awesome to be able to share this adoption journey with other Christian families and to be able to come together for encouragement, prayer, support and advice. Here is the prayer Kenny and I posted: "Thank you God for being the ultimate example of love, sacrifice, patience, and perseverance....qualities all of us need in this gift of adoption. Thank you for your example of being the ultimate adoptive parent. Thank you for adopting all of us. We praise you God for stirring in each of us a desire to care for your "little ones". Thank you for entrusting us with their care. What a privilege it is Lord to be parents to your amazing Ethiopian beauties. We thank you Lord for loving each of them more then we ever could! Help us Lord to be thankful for their lives each and every day. Help us to trust you with their lives. We love you Father!!! In Your Name...Amen."
