Praise be to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.  Eph 1:1


I love this picture.  I really think it captures what it is going to be like when we are in Heaven.  I cannot believe how abundantly God has also blessed us here on earth.  Thank you everyone who lifted prayers on our behalf.  It has been a very difficult few days switching from grief to hope to grief again.   It has also been a sweet time as a family, where we are able to cry and take turns praying for each other.  I delight in knowing that although our children hurt, they know the goodness of God and that He is collecting every tear.    

I do not know why this happened, I do not know why he so clearly called us  to pursue Faith,   but we would not go back and change anything.  Our time as a part of Faith's life has been a blessing.  Her beautiful brown eyes sent an invitation to our hearts into a world that I love.  I love being a part of the lives of orphans! and I will always love her.

We are strongly believing that God has something so wonderful in store for Faith and for us and every ounce of hope we have is in Him.

There is *such* a plan. And whatever it is, it's gonna be 'somethin,' as you are fond of saying.

Peace...
