Always trusting God's Timing!




So, remember that first adoption, you know, that one that took 4.5 years? The one where I begged and pleaded with God to make it happen faster? To make it happen on my timeline?  Yea, me too! LOL! I remember it well! What I learned during that time was that God really did have everything under control and we all came home from Haiti at a perfect time.

So, how about this time around.  Um, well, again, it's God's timing!  Things are going much quicker than I had prepared myself for.  I mean, it's an adoption right!? It takes a long time right?! I've got time right?!  Hahahaha!  I love how God keeps me guessing!  This time has been so far way quicker and easier than I had expected!  Yes, we got our Letter of Acceptance EARLY! EARLY????? Nothing happens early in an adoption process!!!! I am so grateful for the lessons that God teaches me!

I am so excited to bring this baby girl home!  I am so excited to be her momma!  I am so excited to teach her sign language and to watch her big sister become a role model!  But, we are in a time crunch friends!  I thought I had like 5 more months to prepare to bring this sweety home and well.....it's looking more like just over 2 months before we travel to China!  Whhaaaaaatt!!!????

This week I've been nesting! LOL!!!  I realized that I have NOTHING, other than my arms for this baby!  My friend pointed out that my arms are the most important things for this little girl, but you know, clothes, a bed, car seat and some other things will be nice too! LOL!

I was so blessed last night by a wonderful church that has things available for adoptive and foster families.  Hey, we have some clothes, and some cute clothes, for baby girl! :)  I also got to chat and laugh and be loved and supported by some amazing women!

The kids are super excited!  They got a blanket kit (the ones where you tie the knots in the fleece) and they are making blankets for their sister!  I just love these two!  They also had a blast "shopping" for their baby sister at the church!

We are still fundraising!  Please, if you can help it would be so appreciated!  I had expected a few more months of saving and fundraising in order to have the finances for the remaining adoption fees and travel.  We are still in need of about $1600 for the remaining adoption fees plus then the travel fees.

Thank you so much for your love and support!

Art, Ecrissa, and her friend!!!

So, I think, Ecrissa has an imaginary friend and she is so cute with this little friend. She will often look off to the the side and use sign language with this little friend. Sometimes I'll tell Ecrissa to "come" and she'll actually look up at her "friend" and sign "wait", telling her friend to wait for her there!!! It's so cute. Anyway, the two video's are with my friend Art, who apparently was introduced to Ecrissa's friend. He even got to share his food with her! My digital camera takes video without sound, so there isn't any sound with this, but really, the only sound missing is Ecrissa's giggling all the way through!!!!!! This is the second bit, where you can actually see Ecrissa giggle!!!!! My little girl sure does keep me on my toes and laughing!!!! Gotta love her to pieces!!!!!

We are home.

Wow!!!!! What a day!!!!! We (and I mean all three of us!!!! Wow, my kids are in the states!!!! What an amazing thing!) have arrived in MI and made it safely to my dad's house. It was a long day, but the kids did really well. They loved the airplane and Jaryse loved looking at "the city" as we flew over Miami last night. I held it all together until we landed in Miami and I heard the pilot or whoever say "welcome to Miami" at that point I cried. I couldn't believe I had actually made it to the USA with my two little munchkins. I had a smooth time through immigration both in Port au Prince and in Miami, and both flights went smoothly. I am so thankful to the Lord for protecting us through this whole ordeal and making these last few steps easier than the first few! I am still in a bit of shock, although, it might just be that I am FREEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZING. Maybe after I get used to the cold my brain and body will work a little more efficiently! I am so t...

So, today at about 2:37, I was driving and I prayed to the Lord, Father, I know this isn't too big for you! I really really would like passports today. I know the office is almost closed, but Father, please, let them release my passports, if the guy has already checked, please lay it on his heart to check again and let the office release them! I prayed this prayer, until I parked my car, about 2:40, walked into a store, walked out and noticed a missed call at 2:45, I called it back, it was the guy who was checking on passports---WE GOT THEM!!!!!! WE HAVE OUR PASSPORTS!!!!!!!!! Did you hear a really loud OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was me this afternoon! I am so very very excited! I can hardly think straight! Thank you for all your prayers!!!! I know they work! I see it in my life everyday, and I am convinced! Prayer is powerful!!!!!! Praise the Lord for He is GOOD!!!!
