Proud big brother and big sister

A stack of adoption shirts to give out!!! Thanks to everyone who ordered one!  Drew and Kate were so proud to wear their shirts for the first time today...actually all 4 of us were excited to wear them. 

The tangible things like this help us feel like we have a little something to grasp.  Many times throughout the day my heart aches, and my mind worries.  Time passes, and I know our sweet little one needs us.  The anxiety is not for me to feel something or feel better, but to rescue her.  I can resolve to patience when it is for my own purpose, but patience for the well-being of a child, my child.  Overwhelming.  And even more overwhelming that so many children need to be rescued.

That's when God steps in.  Every time, He steps in.  He moves, and He moves me.  I keep doing.  Kevin keeps doing.  Another yard.  A little more baking.  On my knees.  On our knees together.  God is sovereign.

So many of you are praying, loving and giving.  We feel it all and are truly blessed and lifted by each and every part.  I am confident that our little girl feels it, too.  I know she does.  Words will never be enough to express our gratitude.  I pray you each know the impact you have.

I am thankful for you!  for a God who loves!   for a God who is moving and working!  and for a God who works in spite of me!
