Praising HIM for this week of firsts for Isaac, and the story behind the first with Laney is too sweet. Love your videos. Awesome! Way to go, Isaac! Tearing up at this joyful news! Isaac is just precious. Thank you! I cannot tell you how powerful your story is in inspiring others to act on God’s behalf. I needed this as a reminder of all of the miracles that God has shown me in my life. I have been praying about adoption hubby is not quite ready (yet). We are helping other families in mean time. aw yay!!! I’m so excited – how cool is that?!! I love how God WOWs us! oh Andrea – Hannah and I are sitting here rejoicing with you! Our God is amazing!

After stalking your blog for months and crying EVERY time…I figured I should say Hi and let you know how encouraged I am from reading…I was so excited watching ITY crawl that it was like he was my very own! So very neat to see the Lord’s hand in that precious little life. So glad to SEE ITY crawl! I called my husband at work today and he said he was in his office watching this video at lunch and he was crying! That is how much we all celebrate the wonderful things that ITY is accomplishing. We are all so connected through this journey and if we never meet, no worries, we are still praying! Love, Karen Smith “So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers” acts 16:5 This is truly an amazing blessed by God moment! Through him (and the amazing moms he chooses for His children) all things are indeed possible! Isaac is doing so great! Miracle baby!!!!! Oh you go Isaac!! The video has been watched over and over here at our house!! Love, love, love that he is on the move…praise the Lord!!! Hey Andrea! WOOHOO! Rejoicing with you guys! I am LOVING following your journey!! Praying and celebrating with y’all! OH this just made me CRY! I am believing with you sister. This little boy will be running marathons! Jenny  My husband and I were just enjoying a cup of decaf and began discussing football (if you KNOW US you are really wondering WHY we are discussing football!). Well, we live in the South–and it’s the land of college football, but we, honestly, think it’s crazy (sorry football fans–we just don’t get it! I know, […] …I also ‘tried’ to read this families amazing story to my husband and couldn’t do it either… through the tears and the huge lump in my throat… This thing called life… is not a spectator sport! I believe God wants us to hop off our comfy couch and do something. We will be on our knees praying for this awesome family and we’ll check out Baby Zoowan. Thank you so much for sharing… First of all, not a football fan either…so I don’t think your crazy! =) WOW! This is OUR story. Don’t know if you remember … we were headed down the long road to China to adopt our daughter when we got the call about premature twins. One medically fragile. The rest is history. What an honor it will be to pray for this family. Thank you for sharing their story that confirms God’s plans are ALWAYS bigger and better than we could ever imagine! Hey Andrea….thank you for this post! My hubby is also not into football….and it wears him out that all men talk about is sports. “Is there nothing more to life?” he always wants to ask!We don’t have a tv, and the first response people always hae is, “well how do you watch football?” A part of me wants to ask, “well how do you spend time with your family or in the word?” (Not that you can’t do both with a tv:) Actually, when we came to watch you and ITY at the airport, it was soooo exciting for my hubs. He spent a whole 3 hours visiting with some great men (like Krisit J’s hubs and Richard) and never once discussed sports. All of the men there wanted to talk about how much they love their wives and kids, orphan and widow care and their love for the Lord. It was great! He came home asking, “what is we Christians got just excited about joining together and praising, prayer and studing the word as we do for a fooball game?” What a day that will be!!!!! I was thinking the EXACT same thing in the middle 102,000 people at the Tennessee football game this weekend… I bet you have also considered how much money each game brings in. What if we paid $60+ to go to church to cheer on Jesus- or thousands for season tickets. Amazing- So good to know that I am not alone in those thoughts. I loved this post on football! You put it into words so well! I have never gotten it like my husband has and I just love the way you put it, how we need to worship God like how everyone worships football! thanks for this friend! LOVED the adoption story too…WOW! What a story! Much more exciting than any football game – not that I’ve watched any recently! I appreciate you sharing and I will check out the website. What an incredible family – readily responding to the Lord’s leading without doubt or fear. Glad you enjoyed the article… AND, I like Isaac’s hair! 🙂 Love your analogy with football. I too live in the south….and don’t get into football. I agree with you that I am not against it, but wouldn’t it be wonderful if we all got that excited about church & the body of Christ!!! AMEN!!! Believing with you for Isaac!!! PRAYING TOO 🙂 LOVE the story about the family- read that on someone else’s blog- how incredible!!!!!!!!!! You GO girl!! Yesterday football and today animals!! I SO admire your guts to voice your feelings. I feel the same way about these issues but I am not as bold in my faith. You are truely an inspiration. I’ve wept, rejoiced, and prayed all throughout the reading! Our God is AMAZING!!! Thank you for sharing this testimony! Andrea- I loved your post about football. I am a little opposite in my opinion though. I LOVE football and my husband LOVES it even more. (I even play in a fantasy league with mostly men!) I mean we are those crazy people that throw things at the TV:) But this EXACT thought has been on my heart for a long time. I remember being at a game in college standing there just listening to the roar of 80,000 ish people and just for a second wondered, “what if all these people were screaming for Jesus, with this much passion, this much drive, this much emotion?” I remeber tears streaming down my face. I was also at church a few weeks ago and was just looking around during worship at how tired and weary everyone looked. Why do we not pursue our Maker the same way we pursue such wordly things. It really is heartbreaking, even from a LOVER of sports. Which has made me think even more….I have for a long time thrown around the idea of trying to start some non-profit organiztion for soemthing involving widows/orphans/world hunger…..or something. What if every person that went to a football game on the weekends gave a dollar per game? Do you know how much money that would be? I have estimated anywhere from 1 million to 3 million dollars….PER GAME. I just don’t even know where to start to get something like this started. Volunteers? Buckets for money collection? Advertising? The legality of it all? Getting the money mailed to the right people? Do you have any ideas? But what an awesome way this would be to take something and bring glory back to Jesus! whats the trick for longer hair??? Just finished catching up on your last few posts. I’m SO thrilled for you with regards to Isaac’s crawling accomplishment! I am drying my eyes as I celebrate what God has done by uniting this family with those precious boys. And I too, attended Auburn c/o 2000, and haven’t been to a game since, but LOVE your analogy of passionate pursuit of the worship of God! And, happy to report that we got part 1 of our Pad Project mailing sent to Sarah this afternoon! Love seeing God at work! |
