I want to begin this blog by giving glory to our Creator...His design is perfect. This is a fiddle head fern bud ready to unfold...they were all over on both sides of a trail we hiked during one of our weekly nature walks."All of the parts of the frond of a fern bud are tightly folded spirally within the bud and every fold of every leaflet is also folded in a spiral. But the first glance at one of these little wooly spirals gives us but small conception of its marvelous enfolding," (Handbook of Nature Study, p. 698)."...so intricate is the action of their multitudinous spirals, that to watch them unfolding impresses one as would a miracle," (HNS, p. 699).Can't you just read this and feel that it describes all life?! It is a privilege for me to know Reece's Rainbow ministry, the precious "miracles" that give this ministry purpose, and to share with you my family's "unfolding" as we walk by faith. Thank you for sharing our walk...may you be richly blessed.

My Strength Rises as We Wait Upon the Lord
"God in His mercy has given us this new day, we never give up." 2 Cor 4:1. We remain confident and at peace as we wait upon the Lord to do his work for this adoption. This is the first of our "wait"; next will be when we send our dossier in. Still waiting for I-171H...in His time, I know! I get tears in my eyes when I think that this little girl has no idea what is in store for her...that one day soon we are going to walk in to her orphanage and give her a family! I know she is going to bless us even more! I was working on something for Morgan and Donatella said, "Mom, be careful...that's for my sister!" :))

ReplyDeletePraying for you as you are waiting! Thanks for your encouraging email!
ReplyDeleteI love you!!!!!! I'm praying for you. I was up in the middle of the night praying. I'm so at peace about Morgan. I firmly believe God is using your family by adopting her to further His kingdom. The Lord created the family, and isn't it so amazing that He chose Morgan for your family even before you and Dom were born?!!!!! Kiss the kids for me!
