Time is Flying!!

I can't believe how quickly the time is flying. We have spent the last two weeks helping my in-laws move in a few doors up the street. We are exhausted but so excited to have them close by. We have been packing and trying to raise our last bit of funds needed to cover the huge cost of having to change flights. Sarah and I will Lord willing be on a flight to China this Wednesday June 29th and we will meet our Precious Moriah on the 4th of July (actually late your July 3rd) we will be 12 hours ahead. We have created a prayer calendar . I will post it here but if I am still home and you want a copy to print just email me and I will send you one. Please keep praying!! We are experiencing lots of warfare in so many ways. We are getting ready to go into spiritual enemy territory and bring our girl home to hear about Jesus. We will need lots of prayer coverage!!! Thank you for walking with us on this journey!!!

Trying Again

Well Friday we were surprised to get word of our new dates to travel. We will Lord willing be going June 29th and returning July 14th. Please pray as there where large increases in costs with all the changes. Our case worker is going to try on Monday to get them reduced but it is very unlikely as our travel agent has already tried but we can pray!! One praise is that we had a non refundable hotel room in Honk Kong by the airport to come home and a sweet woman was so helpful and got it changed to our new date with no additional fees. We are already seeing God's had in providing as we have been able to sell some things and some checks have arrived that have been so helpful in covering the large increase we are facing. Please keep praying us through this battle to get our girl home!! THANK YOU!!!

uncertain

We are not going early, not going on the 22nd as scheduled  and now there is a holiday for the rest of the week in China so we won't know when we are going until hopefully next week. Please keep praying!!

Pray pray pray!!

Please pray! We have flights booked to leave June 22nd but we were just notified that there are government offices closing for some reason the week we are to be there getting Moriah. Our agency is trying to find out the details but this may mean we have to change all our flights and hotel reservations. ($$)They have said we may be able to go earlier or later. Pray we will be able to go earlier we have been ready and packed for weeks. We can not wait to hold our girl!! We really need your covering in prayer. 

This song is so fitting for our situation. Love it!

Funded!!!

We are praising the Lord that we are fully funded and ready to go to China on June 22nd!!  Our theme through this entire adoption has been Watch God Work!! He has been working in amazing ways. We just got a call that our dear friends will be completing  our matching grant so we are entirely funded. We are so thankful for each one of you that have joined us on this amazing journey to Moriah. We would not be this far if it was not for each one of you getting involved. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being such a huge blessing and impacting a life forever. We pray yours has also been impacted. We can't wait to share the rest of the journey. Please pray as spiritual and physical attacks begin to increase the closer we get to going. We covert your prayer our entire journey. I will post our itinerary soon so you can know how to pray while we are away. Thank you for being such a huge blessing to our family!!

Last Call

Last call for T-shirts. All orders and money must be in by Sunday night 6/5. Thank you!!! 

CHINA HERE WE COME!!!

Can anyone Guess what I booked today!!!! WE ARE GOING TO CHINA!!! Booked our flights for June 22nd!!!! WE are so excited and we are also excited to share some great news about our Miles to Moriah Fundraiser. We are now 1,080 miles closer to getting to Moriah. We still need to raise $3,000 but guess what??? We have been given an anonymous matching grant. SO for every dollar given it will be matched which means we only need to raise $1,500. Each dollar will help us get twice as close to Moriah!! Thank you for all your support and prayers!!

PS- T-shirt orders are due by  Friday morning.
