AWESOME Sunday!!!

Yesterday was AWESOME!!!! Our church dedicated the entire service (all three of them) to adoption and Bring Me Hope. Anyone reading this that does not know who Bring Me Hope is can go to their website at: www.bringmehope.org to find out more.

It was truly incredible. Some of the Mahoney family came to talk, give testimonies and perform. They are a truly amazingly talented family that Love the Lord with all their hearts!!! They came down all the way from Minnesota just to speak at our Sunday services. I ask that you pray for their family as they hope to travel soon to bring home their 5th, yes you heard me right, 5th child (through adoption). They also have 4 biological children. You can find out more about their band and listen to their music at: www.silentsubstitute.com.

I had the opportunity to give a brief (12 minute) testimony as well. I think it was supposed to be under five minutes (sorry). Apparently I am not as afraid of public speaking as I thought, just cannot tell time very well. A couple of friends thought that I should be a preacher - not sure if that was good or bad. Anyone can speak if given the right topic, especially if it is something that God has put on your heart. I probably could have talked for a couple hours if my voice would last, maybe next time. (hahaha).

As far as the adoption is going, we have our fingerprint appointments. They are scheduled to noon on December 5th. We are hoping that we can do a "walkin" this week. We were able to do this once before. It would be amazing if this was able to happen. Once we do these fingerprints we will be waiting for our government to send us another numbered form (sorry, cannot remember all these numbers) and then we can send everything to the consulates and over to China. I would be a miracle if this could happen before the end of the year.

The little girls are getting excited too. They have been bugging me to get their bunk beds so they can be together again. These girls are really amazing. How many children "want" to share a room. Tiffani has been a big help lately too watching the kids for us. We Love all our children more than Life. We are truly blessed.
