By Faith Not By Sight

We are a family that loves God and loves each other. Our family is built through, and so blessed by adoption. As a family we are lead to pray for the children who remain orphans with no family to call their own, no mom and dad to take care of them. When one face began to repeatedly appear to us, and many things kept connecting us to one little boy, we began to look closer at this one child in an orphanage in China. We began to listen to our hearts and pray harder. Fast forward to a year later. Our Pastor is teaching on circle prayers. Calling us to move to a higher level in our prayer life and faith. Bold prayers, "circle prayers", prayers that call us to step out in faith, without giving up. Pressing in to the heart of God. So circle prayers are what we are praying, for God to lead us and provide a way for us to bring this little boy home.

I love my kids

I shared with the kids two nights ago how we don't know where the finances are coming from to complete Frankie's adoption since the bank didn't approve the loan based on the home appraisal. This is a very difficult time and I felt I should let them know so we could be praying together as a family about this. This morning after I got them all out to school I went upstairs to straighten up and on my dresser was money and a note, "for mom, love Hannah". She had emptied her piggy bank out. I am so blessed by my beautiful children's hearts. Allie shared tonight at the dinner table that when asked at school who her hero was she said her daddy because he works so hard and for adopting Fu Quan......They have been praying faithfully for so long for this little guy that they know as their brother.  My friend got her letter of approval today. I am so happy for her and all the people that got there approvals today. This is the time we've all been waiting for. I would normally be jumping for joy because we were a week behind, so ours should be here any day now. With out the loan we don't have the money to move forward when it arrives. The sad thing is we were suppose to get this loan. The change in our home appraisal is because of forclosures. We wouldn't have any difficulty with the loan. And still I keep hearing from God that this adoption is meant to be. So I'm still claiming God's got this one. Believing and praying.
