Thank you for all of your prayers.......there is NOTHING GREATER than knowing that we are being covered in God's Love by others who serve God with us. It really has helped- and I am not just saying that. It is the strength that we feel because we know that all of you have come on our journey with us. This may only be a blog....not even a great one, but it is a connection that Christians can come together and lift each other up. To laugh, cry, and pray together. That is THE BODY OF CHRIST- and for that we THANK YOU!
We have gone to visit my cousin and her family for a while- we just needed a break. We are still praying for a miracle or that we misunderstood or that the denial letter will not be written.....most importantly we are praying for our Naomi......who no matter what will have to be without a mommy & daddy longer. We will do whatever we can for you sweetheart. Rest assured there will be nothing we would not do for you!!!!!
I just wanted you all to know we are alive, and safe, and numb, crying, hurt, trying not to get hopes up, and yet, they already are that something will happen and we would be able to pick our Naomi up soon and bring her home where she belongs. Our journey will continue no matter what because we have ETERNAL HOPE! We serve a RISEN LORD!!!! Our journey doesn't end when we face tough times, but rather when we are with our Lord FOREVER!!! So until my God decides I get to be with HIM FOREVER....we will still be here on Earth serving HIM in whatever way HE wants us to.

Yes, you aer covered in prayer support! There are so many things about this that just don't make sense. I am praying that God gives you guys guidance on how to proceed. But I will be honest, my gut is telling me that you guys need to keep fighting for Naomi!!!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry that you are going through this. Nothing in life seems to come easy. Just out of curiousity how is AGCI handling this?
All we can do is cry out desperately to God on your behalf that miracles happen and trust me we are all praying for a miracle for your family!
Thank you for sharing your story, your journey, your desires. I know you don't know me, my sister-in-law, Whitney follows your blog (she adopted from Ethiopia, also through AGCI).
ReplyDeleteI want you to know that your story is an inspiration to many people whom you will probably never know or even hear about. There are many times that people read our blogs and we don't hear anything from them. I don't know why that is.
I want you to know that I am PRAYING for you and your Naomi. God is great and has a plan. I am excited to see how his plan unfolds for your family.
We will continue praying....May God's hand rest on you as you wait and discern.
ReplyDeleteI am continuing to pray. May there be a speedy correction to this very wrong decision.
ReplyDeletePraying for God's comfort and strength for your family.
Blessings,
Amy
I'm so glad that you could all get away for some time with your cousin. Wish we lived closer, and you could come visit us. :)
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots. Our prayers will continue.

I have not been able to get you off of my mind for the last few days. We are praying for a miracle, and I can't help but to believe that God is going to use this whole mess for His glory in some way. May you feel His strength and His peace surrounding you continually. He is able to bring beauty from ashes!
ReplyDeleteFrom one hurting mom's heart to yours... I'm so sorry about this. Do you ever wonder how people who don't know Jesus get through this? I do. I'm so thankful that He has given me a gift so big and so mighty that nothing, absolutely nothing can steal my joy. I can get sad. I can get weepy. But nothing can steal my joy. I know it's the same for you. Jesus is holding you and weeping with you too. So, so, sorry. I will continue to hold your awesome family in prayer.
ReplyDeleteLove in Jesus,
Amy
