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.

Through the storms

Boy have we been going through the storms. Literally. Through everything, when our children look back in history they will remember when hurricane Sandy hit the north east. How so many lost so much. How we all prayed, packed up and bought what ever we could to help and head out to see what we could do.Then the devastating election where mommy cried and daddy walked around for days waving his hands. Our country very much divided. And the snow storm with super winds causing us to once again lose power. My poor Hannah will probably never again venture into the bathroom without a flashlight in hand. I am heart sick over the election to the tune of spouting off to face book about how I really feel. Got some support from some awesome friends that share my concerns and faith. Pray hard, Work hard, Trust God. That's it. And keep moving forward trying to bring our boy home, with all we've got.
