Amazing Gratitude.

Laying in bed this morning, I am filled with gratitude and thanksgiving.


For my Salvation.


For my family and friends.


And especially this morning??


For my BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER!


Yes, in case you didn't catch that. Yesterday was (so far) the best day of my life when late in the afternoon we were introduced to our beautiful barely-three-year-old little girl.


I feel like I am flying. It's surreal. And wonderful. And I keep just soaking in everything about her. She truly is God's most perfect creation yet and we are so excited to get to be part of her world.


Since I can't show you a picture of my beautiful Cupcake, I thought I would let my friend Franky describe her as clearly as I could for ya'll!!



Please keep praying for us. We're not through the thick of it yet as we work to raise funds and pray down any more hindrances and attacks to prolong our daughter's stay in an orphanage.


We believe that it was through prayer warriors joining with us that her referral came through and we believe that that SAME prayer can push us through the system with-- what can only be described as-- the Favor of the Lord.


We can't wait to bring our baby girl home!!

Thank you for praying with us and celebrating our beautiful daughter!
