Happy Valentines Day!

I have never experienced a greater love than the love that our heavenly Father gives to us. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world He gave His only Son. And whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life." What a love. I have to reflect on my life and I admit that I don't love my husband, children, others as Christ loves me. This is the day. Today is the beginning of a different me. I want to love like Christ loves me. Will you join me?

Happy Valentines Day to all!!!

We send lots of love, hugs & kisses to our baby girl Jacii! XOXOXOX.
Can't wait to hold you in our arms.

Busy week!

We have been delivering auction items to those who purchased stuff.  Thank you to all who helped support this fundraising auction.  It was very successful in our eyes.  We give all the glory to our Lord who guided us in putting everything into place for the big sale.  A very special thank you to all those who donated items for our auction. 

Currently filling out our 800 paperwork.  Boy, don't have a clue what to write in some of the blanks.  Ha Ha!  Many pages of repeating information.  But just filling out another form like we are supposed to do.  One more step closer to our daughter.  So anxious to get her home. 

Please continue to pray while we are in these final stages of our journey.  Pray for PATIENCE and above all God's provision for all in country expenses and all our travel expenses.

Finishing up Jacii's bedroom.  Still needing bedding.  Having a hard time choosing sheets and blankets.  Also, needing window treatments.  Her closet is empty.  No clothing since we don't know what size she will be wearing when we get home.  It has taken much will power to not buy all the cute dresses and shoes I've been seeing on clearance:)  I haven't purchased little girl dresses in almost 20 YEARS!!!  (Meghan will be 21 in June).  Papa Glen painted a keepsake shelf that will be placed over the big south window in the bedroom.  And Papa Glen is going to take on the task of painting our big cedar rocker.  Thank you, daddy.

God is good.  All is falling into place as it should.  Praying for the fruits of the spirit to flow from our family.  The kids are learning that we work together as a family at all times.  And that no job "is not mine", but ours as a family.  We have alot to learn and come to understand.  We are a work in progress.  The Lord is molding, making, using, and filling us each day with His love and is teaching us to love.  Matt 22:37-39 says, "And He replied to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.  This is the great and first commandment.  And a second is like it:  You shall love your neighbor as yourself." 

Name Badge Lanyards...

For those of you who have to wear a name badge hanging around your neck...I make necklaces with a hook to hang your name badge on. The cost is $20-35 depending on the beads used to make your name badge holder. I can customize any color, style, or theme. Just message me and let me know what you are needing. Thank you for all your help.

Puzzle pieces for sale!

We have purchased a 550 piece puzzle of a panda and pink flowers.  Each piece is $10 each.  Your name will be written on the back of each piece purchased.  As more pieces are purchased we will begin putting the puzzle together and posting pictures on facebook and our blog.  Once the puzzle is completely put together, we will hang it in Jacii's room ("JaySee", this is our daughter's name, in case you didn't know).  This puzzle will be a great reminder of all the people who have supported us and helped us bring our daughter home.  Thank you so much to all who have prayed for us and are following us through our journey.  Love to all!!!
