"Father, thank you for my baby brother and sister in Africa. Help them to be brave while they are away from our family. Help them to be brave when we come to get them. Help them to know me and love me. Amen."
Is it possible that God is preparing the heart of an almost 4-year-old in ways that I cannot imagine? Listening to her prayers each night, I can't help but think that no one knows how to pray for the one we will adopt better than she does.
There are many unknowns at this point, many unanswered questions. I think that God is telling us to walk on in faith, amidst the unknown, and listen for His voice daily. More than ever before we are trusting Him as Provider. One thing I know...He adores orphans and wants to place them in a family...and most of all in His family.
Do you realize that this is why we celebrate Christmas? He came to adopt us all. Joy to the world, the Lord has come!

And yes, Keri! The wonderful meaning behind all the celebration of the season...HE CAME!
By the way, got the ornaments, and LOVE THEM! We've already given them as gifts and all the recipients know your story now! ;)
