God's Blessings!!!!

So thankful for the gifts of generous people. So many people need to be thanked for their reaching out to a little girl in China whom they only know will be called Khloe. Eric and I are amazed at how good God is and how he provides for those who he has called to do something beyond the box. My word for the year is FAITH. Ofcourse, a resolution for this year is to grow in faith. To believe beyond doubt that God can do above and beyond anything I can imagine or think. To have more FAITH and to be more FAITHFUL. To be more faithful to the things God has created me for, to be more faithful to reading His word and becoming closer to God, and to faithfully uphold a resolution of getting in shape. One of my favorite songs during this adoption is by Chris Tomlin and it is Faithful. It speaks of God's faithfulness forever. So, if God is faithful then that is a characteristic I want to know more of and display more in my life. But when we have faith in Christ Jesus it compels us to act. So many times we sit on the sidelines and are moved with our feelings but not enough to move our feet and do something. My prayer for myself, my husband, and my family is that we never become docile but we steadfastly pursue the things of God. Which means we, as a family, must serve others. Pray for our family as we continue our journey to Khloe, but in the time we wait that we continually seek out ways to serve others, and in doing so our faith will grow. We have had a wonderful blessing. Khloe has been JAR'd by her aunt and uncle and cousin. They brought us a jar filled with money to go towards our adoption expenses. PRAISE the Lord for their gift. Also, we had a sweet family donate $200 in our name to our adoption agency. God's timing is perfect! We will more than likely be needing the money for the dossier submission within 2 weeks. So, that leaves about $2500 needed to complete the dossier submission fees. I ask that you pray God will provide that money and we will remain faithful to believe He can and He will. All praise and glory goes to My Heavenly Father without Him I would be nothing.
