Our little trip

This weekend (starting fri.) we will be taking a trip to northern Wisconsin, close to Lake Superior; where the H.Q. for Acres of Hope (our adoption agency) is located. We will be attending a picnic/fashion show/and action. It is all in the hopes to raise money for the orphanage which is currently being built over in Liberia.

Happy Birthday Lauren :-)

About two weeks ago I received a call at 6 am , it was Acres of Hope saying that our twins had a older brother who is 8 years old, and that we would have to decide whether to take all 3 children or start over.

Well needless to say we were a little shocked and unprepared for this curve ball that God has thrown us.

But God is so good he knows just what we need, and His plans are better than ours.
And to quote our Daughter Lauren " You know Mama this is providential stack-up" ( meaning- this was Gods plan all along and there is nothing you can do about it)

So after much prayer we have decided to step out in faith and take all three children.

And now that we have given our answer it seems that's things are starting to really move, we now have a projected date of Aug 20th 2006 when they should be arriving home.

And before we didn't seem to be getting any answers on when the children would be coming.

Praise God!! For all things are in His hands
