Catch up time..

I am so sorry that I have requested all these prayers, and then not updated you on God's perfect answers, and His perfect will!

Where to start....

Okay, I will start with my kiddos...

I have been praying fervently for health for each of the kids, and for Emory. Until THIS monring, everyone had an ailment...Michel has had the mumps, and b/c of this his asthma is out of control. He has been on steriods for over 1 week, and still wasn't improving. Carlos is teething, and his asthma isn't great, along with an ear infection, and who knows what else. He has been on antibiotics for 3 weeks. Aidan has been having increased seizures, and other samll issues. Mina has been complaining of a scratchy throat. Emory has been complaining of a sore throat, ane overall sorness in his mouth.

TODAY...EVERYONE IS FINE...NO PROBLEMS!! NO AILMENTS!! THE DAY BEFORE I LEAVE, GOD HAS HEALED THEM ALL. MY CONTINUED PRAYER IS THAT THEY ALL STAY HEALTHY, AND HAVE GREAT ATTITUDES WHILE I AM GONE TO THE MIDDLE EAST.

2nd- Faithful Adoption Consultants...

WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! That is all I can say. I am in awe of how GOd has laid out the details for each of these clients. Some of these couples have been trying to adopt for months, a year, years and God is fulfilling their dream, their prayers and hopes through Faithful Adoption Consultants. It doesn't get anymore humbling than that. I have no idea why God would choose our company to work through in such a mighty way, but HE is. 3 clients matched with birth moms in 2 days last week. The match is great, but if you knew the small details within each story, you would see that their adoption stories are miracles. Their situations were fine tuned by God, HIMSELF. Details that no person could have known or orchestrated. It is incredible to sit back and watch, and just admire how great He is. My God is doing a work in me, through this business. He has brought me to a new place in my personal walk with HIM, through my sweet clients, their stories, their passions, through agencies, and birth moms. I have truly learned to sit back, and give over control. If you know me, you know how hard this is for me. I hold onto everything, b/c I am certain that God needs my help. He doesn't need my help! CLearly! All I did was make some profiles and phone calls! God did the rest. May He have ALL THE GLORY IN EACH OF THESE SITUATIONS. MAY EACH OF THESE ADOPTIVE COUPLES COME TO KNOW HIM IN A PERSONAL WALK, AND MAY EACH OF THESE BIRTH MOMS LEARN ABOUT THE UNFAILING LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST.


3rd...MY MISSION TRIP....

I leave tomorrow evening, and I have very mixed emotions. I have had mixed emotions since I was called to go. I was always excited about the opportunity, but I have never been on the same page with all my emotions. I truly feel that the Lord called me to short-term missions months ago, maybe even a year ago. However, just like in everything else, I like to stay in control. Leaving my kids with Emory for 10 days is NOT CONTROL!! It is sheer chaos! I said "YES" to the Lord, because I felt it was direct disobedience not to. In the recent weeks, GOd has confirmed and affirmed, and reaffirmed that I am to go on this trip. I have no doubt that I am doing what I was called to do. I also know that GOd WILL take care of all the details, He always does. It's just that when you are a mom, you feel like noone, not even their own dad, can take of your kids the way you do. So, I am just worried that he will forget some of the small details, I am trying to convince myself that is absolutely okay for him not to do it all MY Way. He can do it his way, and the kids will still survive. Anyway, please pray for Emory. Please pray that God will give him strength, organization, time management, patience, compassion, and anything else he will need to take care of our kids and our business while I am gone! Also, my grandmother (NANNIE) was put in the hospital this week, I know this is Satan attacking, trying to give me reasons no to be obedient to God, please pray for her, pray for the doctors that are working with her, pray for MIRACULOUS HEALING of every ailment she has, and pray that the Lord will just keep her safe.

Pray for me, that as I continue to pack and prepare physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually that I will give up control, and allow GOD to do what HE does best....TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING!!!! Pray that God will give me a peace about leaving, that my kids won't cry, that I won't cry!!! Thank you for all the prayers. Thank you for all your support. I will be updating my blog daily with information and pictures! Please leave me comments, I will enjot the encouragement as I am so far away from my family and friends!!
