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.

Frankie

I know our children have all been chosen by God to be ours.We had nothing to do with the huge blessing of  Joshua and Hannah. And then when we received our referral for Allie, of course she was our daughter and we eagerly sent back our acceptance.  And now with our forth child, I feel strongly that he too was chosen by God to be ours. The part we have in this is so small. Of course I thought he was beautiful when I saw his picture, and looked at him thinking any one would jump at the opportunity for this child to be their son. But we were not in a position to adopt. The finances were not there. It was God that kept nudging at my heart to not lose track of this child. When ever I would cancel his picture, I would quickly go back and retrieve it, because I felt I needed to have it there. I had to know that he had a family and was alright. I asked everyone to please commit to praying with me for this child to have a family. I put on a bracelet and promised myself that every time I looked at that red bracelet it would be a reminder to me to pray for this beautiful boy known as "Jaxon". I promised to not take that bracelet off until he was safely home with his family. Well, that was well over 2 years ago, bracelet's looking a little rough. But my boy is coming home very soon!!! I am so blessed that God has chosen us to be his family. And yes I know beyond a doubt that God did this. Not just because I love this child so much already. But because there has been so much miraculous proof that this could only be God. Miracles, every step of the way. Thank you God for the blessing of allowing us to be FRANKIE's family. I am so humbled, so blessed, and so grateful.
