We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life.But those who make their journey home across time & miles,growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them,are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us by God's very own hands.

We're Home

Jared, Malakai Mussie, and I made it home at 11:30pm last night. It was a LONG 40 hour trip start to finish and we are still very tired. We woke up to our little ones this morning and only got about 4-5 hours each. Hopefully we can nap some today. I'll be posting when I can about the trip, but first I need rest and time to finish up my journaling. To hold you over here are some pics from our trip. Thank you all for the wonderful prayers and support! We felt so covered in prayer and God's provision was over and above for the whole time...more on that later.

Bravo! There is a special place in heaven for you both. We sponsor an child from Kenya - his name is chondo. it's a great feeling to give back...we can't imagine what YOU must be feeling right now and for the rest of your lives.
