It's Time！

We are on our way to the airport after a very hard good-bye with our youngest three. Three weeks feels like an eternity right now!

Please be in prayer for us as we go...some specifics as you pray...

Please pray for us that we'd love Eli and Zoe as Christ does... That We would see them through His eyes. Please pray that we'd be full of compassion and that we would have wisdom. In adoption, love is not an immediate emotion but an action until the feelings come. Our desire is to love Eli and Zoe as Christ does.

Please pray for Eli and Zoe and pray they'd be able to bond and attach to us. Pray for their broken hearts as they leave everything they've ever known. Pray they'd be able to connect quickly and easily with their siblings. Pray Gods comfort on them through this whole process.

We sort of feel like we are standing in front of the fiery furnace and God is calling us to walk through it. We know without a shadow of a doubt God has called us to these children but we have no clue and no control over what the adjustment may look like or what life will be like on the other side. It's such a scary place to be but God doesn't call us to easy...he calls us to obedience.

Pray for Bailey and Shelton as they travel with us. Please pray for Baileys stomach...he's been having some issues and pain...pray he'd have relief while in China.

Some specific needs you can be In prayer for....our remodel project that they can get it completed before we return so that Eli and Zoe can each have a bed/room. We will need to cover the $5000 cost when we get home so please pray God would provide that as well so it's not a worry when we get back.

Please pray for us a larger vehicle...not sure what that looks like but just know we need something larger to accommodate the whole Zoo.

Please pray these 3 weeks would fly by...I miss my little's already!!

We will keep updating as the days unfold. Thank you all for your prayers and for being a part of this adoption story. God provided every single penny we needed in order to get these kids home...He truly does love orphans!
