Paperwork is Off!!!

Ok here is when FAITH has to kick in and we have to just have FAITH that God has this adoption in His hands!!! In the last few days God has been doing so much in our life as well as in the other adoptive families around us... SO in FAITH I sent off all our Home Study paperwork and now we need to raise $1600 to pay for it! For our last adoption we knew exactly how much we needed to raise and we were able to post that, this time we have a ballpark number but we are just moving forward and prayig that God will take care of the rest!!! If you are not a "Believer" (I say believer because the word "christian" has lost A LOT of meaning over the years) so if you DO NOT have a RELATIONSHIP with the Lord Jesus Christ you could never know how he works but I'm keeping this blog in hopes that you will witness "What a FRIEND I have in Jesus!!!" He really will guide you feet if you surender your life to Him; I know for some that is hard and scary or maybe you think you already have but you are "secretly" holding on to "You're Will", God can't use you if your not willing!!! He has such GREAT plans for your life if you would only let Him work through you!!! In fact believe it or not, He has something better that you could have EVER planned... will you trust Him??? That's what Fred and I are doing and I know He wont let me fall!!!!



What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer.

Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge;
take it to the Lord in prayer.

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield thee;
thou wilt find a solace there.
