Our God is MIGHTY to save !!!!

OMG...I posted we were $5,000..short on traveling...I have been praying yet nothing was coming in our adoption fund..We have applied so many times before for grants...never to receive any help..We have sent out countless letters...emails and more..not letting pride get in our way..its hard to ask for help...yet nothing ..$196 has been in our account for months..every penny we Praised God..every increase I was deeply touched..no matter the amount..it meant alot to us that ANYONE would help us to get our girls home...Still..we are $5,000 short....where...where will it come from God ??? We have no where else to gather it from??? We move ahead and we TRUST in you Father......then B A M !!!!
 One night...as I often do..I check our adoption fund....I scream..check it again..then again..then even once more..and YUP..I read it correctly..and it SAYS $5,196.00    Our God is might to save !!!
I ran with computer in hand to Rick who was reading...screaming..Honey LOOOOOOOK..what God has done !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  The kids come running to see why mom has gone crazy....we ALL life our hands and Praise God...He is in the details...Never ever doubt..if He calls you...He will carry you the way until completion...Our God is might to save...Oh how much more He loves the orphans !!

Love, Rona

I800 Approval July 18th

We got I800 approval...July 18th...we are now 6 weeks from traveling ..PRAISE GOD !!
I'm full speed ahead in packing mode..Our daughter Peyton knows she has a family coming for her...she is SO excited and we are too..I cannot wait to hold my girls...The main concern is finding families here to watch out kids..many have stepped up to say they would take a kiddo or two..Thank you all for making this possible..in our hearts I believe its important for Rick and I both to go..and you all are making that a reality..We know we can trust you all and we know God is in every detail !..
Soon girls ...you will be an orphan NO MORE !!!

... LOA ...

We got it !!!  May 16th infact ! What does this mean ? Why it means we will be traveling to get our girls hopefully as soon as Aug !! Now is when I freak a bit...being one who likes to know whats next and paln things out...not possible to do when one is adopting by the way..and God sure has worked with me alot in this area...Still its important to know how much money we need for this and that...How much flights will cost..Motels and food etc....Lord Im giving this all to you Jesus !!!! You carried us this far..I KNOW youve got the rest of it as well !!!

Peyton Reese

New pictures..it always warms my heart deeply to see sweet smiling faces on our girls !! They are growing and changing and that's bittersweet,we are missing so much. Peyton is 34#'s and 38" tall .. at 6 years of age,she is little !
We've been looking for a stroller for her,one that is easily transported,and strong to last and hold up a few years.Peyton can only walk using a walker or holding onto hands.She can climb stairs and she is learning and getting stronger every day...We are so grateful for her health and her joy shows in her eyes..Her start in life wasn't always easy...our family plans to make up for that by showering her with lots of love and hugs and kisses! Hold tight sweet pea..we are coming !!!

New Pictures...YEAH!

Got new pictures of Carrington Sophia today...she is growing so fast...makes my mommy heart ache to hold her! She is 31#'s and 34'' tall...Carri turned 3 in December...so she is healthy in weight and height and for that we are grateful !!  Without further ado...here she is ..our smiling sweet hearts joy...Carrington !!

No words....just listen to this song it says it all...
