Author Archives: admin Okay…this is Andrea being completely real–completely vulnerable…and the Lord asking me to die to my pride. This last month has brought AMAZING surprises for our family…AMAZING! We have seen the Lord over and over and over…meet our need and show up in the unexpected! We have been able to pay for our adoption all in […]  Love my titles lately? I’ve been in rare form lately;). And speaking of rare form—I successfully managed 7 children 5 and under today…and that’s why you are just now hearing from me;). If you give 7 children 5 and under popcycles…it’s not that hard;). Just had to add my accomplishment of the day…had to help […] Walking the walk is far greater an example than talking the talk ! Teaching is a gift and teaching new leadership is sooo important. Good for your momma ! As a public school educator, we need more hippies! We have enough people sitting around complaining about those who are socioeconomically disadvantaged and how they drain society. Let’s do something to help! Bless your mom! First, thank you sweet friends for praying for us…and now celebrating with us that we have a court date…JUST TWO WEEKS AWAY! HOOT! I’m so excited!!! Please pray with us that by God’s miraculous hand that we pass the first time! How we feel your prayers! How we are humbled and so appreciate for them!!! […] So this is what I’m wondering; I was talking to a lady from AGCI about the new 2 trip thing and she explained that instead of having a Hannah’s Hope person represent you in court, you just appear yourself. So what happens if people travel and DON’T pass the first time? Can a HH staffer represent them for another court date? SOO Excited & praying for another miracle & you will travel soon!!!! SOOO excited for you and thrilled to be a part of praying your baby home! @ Lara, yes, someone from AGCI would represent you the second time. Andrea, I have a feeling you’ll pass court on the 13th! PRAYING sooo hard you pass the first time! WOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Praying for you!!!!! Yippee!!!!!! Our God is soooo good!!!! Unbelievable!!!!!! Beyond thrilled for you guys. That is crazy fast to get a court date so soon after your referral….most blogs I read are waiting longer than that. God is good!!! Isaac will be home before you know it! Rejoicing with you sweet friend! May 13 sounds like a perfect day to pass court! YEAAAA!!!! So excited for you all! Isaac will be your almost Mother’s Day baby:) Celebrating with you all! AAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! (Okay, that’s kind of hard to read, but it says AMAZING!!) Can’t wait!! Sweet ! Praise God. Praise the Lord! Things are moving fast now!!! Yaaaahoooo! Oh I can’t wait for you to hold him! Praying for everything perfect detail! Andrea- so happy for you! Congrats, will continue to keep Isaac in our prayers. Also, thanks for posting the “I surrender” video. We just lost our 6 month old dog, Bella, yesterday during a routine spaying, and my 6 year old daughter had no reaction, wasn’t grieving. She came in my office this morning and heard and saw this video and just starting sobbing. Soon as she came home from school today she was humming this song and asked to see it again. She says it makes her feel better about Bella. Thanks so much, God is helping heal my little girl’s heart. PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW PRAISE HIM ALL CREATURES HERE BELOW, PRAISE HIM UPON THE HEAVENLY HOSTS…..PRAISE FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST!!!!! Just sang this to Him who loves His people! Tears of Joy are filling my eyes for you!!! OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s our GREAT BIG GOD! Wahooo! Celebrating your news here in PA. Your post last night was food for the soul and I definitely prayed my own prayer of surrender right along with you. A new day has dawned! First, YAY!!!! I am soooooooooo happy you finally have your court date!!!!!!! Second, I may need to get my own Web site, too, so I can make my font that big when I’m excited about something. Blogger is limited. 🙂 GOD IS GOOD!!!! YEAH YEAH TRIPLE YEAH!!!!!!!!! Jenn Congratulations! That’s awesome news! Since it’s after Mary 9 (you now have to go to court, right?), does this mean you’re flying out in less than two weeks? WOW!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! This is too cute!  OK…I know I am probably getting on my blog readers nerves—but I do have some news to share. Finally—my heart rests. Today has been one of those days where your brain is in fog-land—everything just seems off…people are talking to you but you have to CONCENTRATE to hear them. And finally tonight, after Richard and […] Thanks for this post. Oh, how hard it is to truly surrender my heart right now! So thankful you have felt the love and support of the body of Christ! Praying for your mommy heart as you wait for precious Isaac! Thank you Andrea!!!! In tears…Jenny There better be a dot on that global map from Hong Kong! :o) Thanks for this! I so needed to hear this today. Thank you for sharing your heart. I’m trying to rest in Him. Thanks for the reminder & encouragement! for some reason i think i missed this post when you first posted it. well i was scrolling through your older posts, andrea, and let me just say i needed this tonight 😀 |

Just wanted to encourage you as you raise funds for your adoption. My husband and I just brought our little girls home in January and we also emptied savings accounts and fundraised our way home. God will provide. It will be an awesome thing to watch!
I love, love, love this idea!!!! I am thinking of this crazy way I may can help…I’ll email you once my critters are sleeping:)
Don’t fret….dying to pride- huge step….letting others help you bring home GOD’S CHILD- nothing better than that!
Love…love…love.
Hi there! I just recently found your blog through lucy lane’s. So excited for your journey and can’t think of a better thing to contribute to. Hope our little donation will be one of many drops in a soon to be overflowing bucket. God will provide! And although we don’t know each other personally, just knowing that you are a sister in the family of God is enough! Praying for Isaac’s swift homecoming.
Love,
Rory
Andrea, spoke with my sister and we have an idea for you to raise $ for your trip. Please email me if you are interested. Do you know about our Prayer Angels -Psalm 91- God will put his angels in charge of you… They could be sold to you at wholesale price and you could price them like the stores do and I think it could be wonderful for everyone. I know that you could make something very cool…it is like a blank slate except for the verse in the middle…it is great personalized or left as is. It would make us feel so happy to help you and your family on the journey to bring Isaac home !
[…] Friday, we posted a cupcake fundraiser to help fund our Ethiopia trip. I contemplating selling t-shirts and emailed a few places…told […]
We are just starting our adoption journey and am interested in how to do this virtual cupcake fundraiser? We have been calling our little dumplings our cupcakes….so cute! Any help or advice would be very much appreciated! Blessings on your journey
