Waiting.....and Working


I wish that I had a real update to give everyone.  I wish that we could be celebrating another step closer to our Sweet Joshua, instead......we are still waiting.  Waiting is hard work.  Waiting is exhausting.  It would be so much easier to be doing something.  Soon, soon I hope we will have news of progress--but for now we wait, and we trust in God and we quietly ache for Joshua who still does not know how he is loved.  Oh,  how he is loved!  I long to snuggle him into me and kiss his precious cheeks and whisper love to him--each day that slips by with out a family is another day too long.  Soon, soon, Darling Boy!

In the mean time, as we wait, we do stay very busy.  We are working hard to be ready for Joshua's arrival.  We are working hard to raise the money that is needed to bring him home.  We had a garage sale last weekend and we did well.  Now we will be having another on May 5th, and we are praying to raise even more adoption funds.  Please let me know if you have items that you can donate to our sale!

We are SO Grateful and so Thankful for those who have lovingly given to our adoption fund!  It is such a blessing and an encouragement to our family!  It is so humbling to see how God is working in our lives and in the lives of many people who we love--and even some people who we don't even know--to supply the needed funds to bring Joshua home.  There is no better way to "store up treasures in heaven!"  We continue to trust God, as we still have a long way to go with funds--but we know that He is ABLE! 

Please keep us in your prayers as we wait!

  2. Our family has been praying for Joshua about 7 months now, having seen him on Reece's Rainbow; my children wouldn't be able to sleep at night if they didn't pray for "baby Joshua" first! Praying for his safety in waiting, orphanage workers, smooth process and fast travel.
