The view from Cloud 9 is pretty beautiful:). We are sooooo happy to be waiting on travel dates. Ahhh…that phrase “sooooo happy to be waiting” doesn’t seem like a normal phrase for the adoption wait. It has been almost a year (in June) since our hearts were first stirred to adopt…and it’s looking pretty hopeful […]

Praying. Andrea, Hoping for good news for you this morning.:) We are Praying !! I hope to hear your good news today! On Sunday night…really throughout the watches of the night into Monday morning…our 2nd court date to legally become Isaac’s parents will take place. I love Psalm 121 for this day… I lift my eyes to the hills– Where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. […] Was JUST praying for you and will continue! Praying from Hong Kong, Andrea- praying for you! Praying, praying, praying…and will continue to PRAY!!! Jenn Psalm 121 vs.1&2 is one of our family’s very,very favorite…what exciting news… Praying, praying, praying… You have our prayers. prayerfully with you all day and tonight! praying, praying, praying! :)) Praying for you…will be stalkin’ you tomorrow to hopefully CELEBRATE!!!!! Awww…so excited!!! Praying for ya’ll!! Praying. . . .Thy will be done! I have a confession to make. Yes, another confession. Confessions are SO good for me though. I have been holding caring for widows and orphans at arms length. Serving comfortably and although passionate about it…I just realized it today. As I stood in the back of the auditorum of my son’s preK class and watched […] Thank you…I really needed to read this tonight and your words hit home! It’s so easy to start looking to the left and the right but I so desire to keep my eyes on him and not be polluted by this world. Boy does it happen so easily though! You are such an encouragement and I love your heart! i praise the Lord for you! i praise Him for your heart of compassion and for using you as a voice for those in need! i can’t wait to see what He has in store for your family!!! Thank you Andrea! ….and if you leave for Africa…take us with you!!!! Praying as you seek HIM! Can’t wait to see all HE HAS IN STORE! 🙂 May my heart be broken wide open too! Sometimes we just need a nudge. Wow. I am so right there with you. This is totally something the Lord has been working on in mine and Drew’s hearts! … I just finished typing probally the longest reply to your blog post than humanly possible, just to hit “post comment” to have it all GONE. Did you hear that? GONE, I say.. grrr…. I am heading out to a woman’s luncheon at our church, but I will send you an email re-telling everything that I just shared. I can SO relate to this post.. I feel like our hearts are at the same place, and I’m sure that’s not by mistake. I will write you soon, friend. I want you to know that I will be lifting your family up in prayer today at our luncheon. I am praying for you more than you know… and I HEAR your heart right now!!!….. I’ll write you soon.. God is working SO MUCH right now. I can only imagine all HE has in store for you sweet friend. I just wish we were neighbors! Seriously, it is uncanny how you put words to my private prayer life. I GET IT! I SO GET ALL THAT IS ON YOUR HEART! YES!! Love to you, Andrea!! I’ve been thinking a lot about these things, too. I’m fearful of giving up a secure job and life for the unknown… But it is always there, this desire to do more and be more for those in need. Arm’s length? Who are you kidding? Girl you’ve been leading with your heart for as long as I can remember. Just when I think you can’t reach any higher, you step it up to another level. Thank you for everything that you do to make the world just a little brighter. oh my – amen & amen. My husband and I are RIGHT here in this EXACT place with you. I mean EXACTLY!!! We’re praying daily for God to reveal to us where He wants us and when because we are ready to let it all go (as wild as it seems on some days) and go head on into the world for the kingdom. Thanks for sharing!! Wow! There are so many women on here that are in agreement! My husband and I literally JUST had this conversation as well. God has completely changed the desires of our hearts from longing for a safe and secure life to a desire for living life on the edge with Christ – in whatever form He wants that to be! God is doing amazing things to break our hearts for the widows and orphans and we believe that He may even be preparing us for a move to Africa in the future. We will be praying for your family that God will continue to break your hearts so that His glory can be fulfilled in your lives and for your children to grow hearts that long to serve Christ as passionately as you and your husband! SOOOOOO encouraging! Ok mommas…hang tight. Something beautiful is brewing–and it would be a privilege to do this with MANY of YOU. SOOOOO exciting!!! This is the exact same thing that has been breaking my heart :)) You’re right – it’s a beautiful broken feeling… you constantly amaze me with how you can put words to the longings of my heart (I know that I have shared with you that I am not eloquent – at all!). So, again – thank you! I long to do more, be more, we are ready to soar with Him!!! We are praying for God to reveal to us what/how/when He wants to use us- and I love knowing that He is breaking the hearts of so many more!!! So I say – brew away!!! I struggle with that too. The balance between providing for your kids and caring for the rest of the world. I don’t know what the answer is. But I can’t wait to see how God’s plan for your life unfolds! |
