The Big Moment

Too tired to write much now...but we had a blessed day and the adoption went off without a hitch. Left the house at 7am and returned at 9:45pm. We are all exhausted. Ended with a wonderful time of praise and prayer and blessing at The Exchange - our Tuesday night worship. Came back to the house to a wonderful welcome home sign on the front door and one on the garage. Anonymous, but I have my theories... :)

With the judge

Outside the courthouse that reminded me of Africa, it was so run-down inside.

Headed home...


Blessed by friends


Thank you Father God for the unexpected gifts you bring in life.

Sing to God, sing praise to his name,
extol him who rides on the clouds —
his name is the LORD— and rejoice before him.
A father to the fatherless,
a defender of widows,
is God in his holy dwelling.
God sets the lonely in families,
he leads forth the prisoners with singing;
