Because she is led

On this day, January 14, 2011, CYJ accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior!

We have thought about not posting about this.  My thought was, this is a personal and private moment.  But after thinking about it some more and discussing it with Papa, we realized that God would want us to share!

We need to share how God is working not only in our lives but in our children's lives as well.

We want to give God all the glory for what has happened with our sweet daughter!

On Friday, January 14th, Miss C. accepted Jesus into her heart and into her life!  She is 5 years old and took it very seriously.

Talking about Jesus is what she does, all the time, all day long, every day (not exaggerating) and has been since she started talking.  When she was 3 she always would have us clip a little blanket around her neck to make a cape and she would say, "I am a Superhero for Jesus!"  

So on that Friday evening at home, she told us that she wanted to accept Jesus.  Imagine our excitement!  She said her prayer and then we prayed over her.  Yes, momma AND Papa were crying happy tears.

We are just so happy for her and we know that God and the angels are singing too.  :)

God Bless you, our sweet Miss C.!!

More good news!

Approval!!!

What a week we are having so far and it's only Tuesday!

New pictures and a letter yesterday and today we received our I800-A Approval!!!  

There was a hiccup with my fingerprints failing and having to have them redone at an office that is 3 hours from us, a whole long story for another post.

So what does this step (approval) mean exactly?  It means we have been approved by the US Government to adopt from China!

So now onto the next step.  Getting ALL our documents together to be state sealed.

Little steps that are getting us closer to Michael!

New Pictures and a letter!!!

Look at what we got in our email this morning!!

First we want to say a great big THANK YOU to Gifts to China with Love for sending over our package and getting these wonderful photos and letter for us!!

We sent a package for Christmas and he's wearing it!  It has that super scrumptious fleece on the inside.  We also sent over a little Christmas stocking with candy and something for his foster parents.  

So pictures first or Michael's letter?  Okay a picture and his letter.  :)  What a sweet, sweet, boy!

A new year is here

Well here we are, a new year!  2010 has come and gone and looking back we have had so many blessings this past year.

We celebrated many things.  Miss Magoo being home 3 years in May, Mister being home 1 year in July and opening our hearts and stepping out in faith to bring Michael home!  God has blessed us so much and we thank Him every day for all our blessings!

We have enjoyed the holiday's and now we are ringing in the new year with a new fundraiser!

 

We have been chosen by Hip Mom Jewelry to help us with our fundraising efforts!  Her jewelry is amazing!  It is ALL hand stamped and just BEAUTIFUL!  There are a few that I personally would love to have!  Such as the one above.  :)
