Psalm 96:1

“Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.” My heart sings today an old worship song from my first years of walking with Christ… Sing unto the Lord a new song. Sing unto the Lord all the earth. Sing unto the Lord a new song. Sing unto the Lord…all […]

I am always in awe of God’s provision. He wants his children brought to families, no question about it.

I love all the cute gifts. So sweet.

Kim Bedzyk - April 28, 2010 - 4:17 pm

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.

I can’t imagine what comfort it must bring to your soul to have a friend near him. I am so excited for you all to bring him home!

Sarah - April 20, 2010 - 11:20 am

I think this is going to be what I appreciate the most about the AGCI family- the care and concern for one another’s children. I can’t wait to be the one sending home good reports to momma’s about their babies!

JonesEthiopia - April 20, 2010 - 11:21 am

That is such amazing news!!!

Kim - April 20, 2010 - 11:21 am

I can “hear” you from across the ocean and thru the internet. Seriously. You are so dear to me that I feel like I am listening to you as I read your update. The blessings are indeed pouring from above. And you keep dreaming big dreams for your son cause we serve a BIG God who is still in the miracle business. Our Sam is living proof!
Praising Him from Hong Kong,
Kim
