God is so awesome!!!

We'll alot has been going on around our house the last couple weeks!!Lot's of excitement!Some discouraging times.But We must remember God is always in control!! Sometimes we can't always understand things that happen and the reasoning behind it.but we must remember who's in control!!My sweet Aubrey's birthday is Aug The 6th so we sent her a small birthday package with a photo album of her family and a few other items we think she'll enjoy!Will post new pics if we get some. I have had a great couple of days with God showing me in many ways he's in control! It's easy to get discouraged when thinks don't always seem to go as we'll as we had wished for!But in the end GOD is the answer he's the only one we really need!! I pray my sweet girl has a great birthday and can feel the love we have for her. Hopefully I can update with new pics soon!!!Blessings Lisa

Post for thought!!!

Have you evey wondered if everyone that is going thru the adoption process feels the sameway? I think men and women handle this kind of stuff totally diffent!!Yesterday I thought about my sweet girl most of the day!!Guess i should clarify since I have THREE! My sweet Aubrey!While my husband and I were walking around our neighborhood I ask him!Do you ever think about her??And he said yeah sometimes!Do you??Every waking moment!!Dont you wonder what she's doing right now?and what's she thinking about?Wondering if she's cool from the heat or if she's had enough to eat today? Wondering if she's wondering why it takes so long for her family to come get her? Wondering if we've changed our minds because we're not their yet? We'll baby girl let me tell you one thing!!That will never happen!!Mommy is working very hard to come and bring you home where you belong with your family!!And nothing they could say would ever change my mind!! God will lead us to you!I pray for your piece,safety and comfort until we arrive.We hope to make all your dreams come true!! Or as many as possible!!Can't wait to see my girl with a big smile on that very pettite little face! and a little meat on her sweet bones!Little is fine we're used to little but I need to know she has had the right nutrition and care!HOLD ON SWEET GIRL WERE WORKING!! Love mom

VERY MEANINGFUL FUNDRAISER FOR OUR SWEET GIRL!!!

I have met some of the sweetest people ever,In this adoption process!! We have a very meaningful adoption fundraiser coming up Sept 14th from 5-9 at Primary Pottery here in Georgetown! This will really mean alot to our girl when she is home and can understand how special she was to all our family and friends! Our adoption fundraiser is called,HANDS OF FAITH If you comeout the night of our fundraiser everyone will do a 6X6 tile with your handprint and your families name!We will put all these on a wall downstairs in our home with something that will say all the hands that had a part in bringing you home!How awesome is that!! Then we will take a bigger tile when she arrives home and do her hand prints to put in the middle.I think this will mean so much to her when she can understand english,and how all these wonderful generous people were helping her get to her forever family!! We will serve light refreshments which will be free! Please everyone let my girl know how very specail she really is!! Even if you can't make it that night you can go in anyday and tell Melinda their you would like to donate to HANDS OF FAITH ! SHE IS AWESOME!Very sweet lady! This is probaly the most meaningful fundraiser we will do!!Can we count on you to show our sweet girl support?? I have lot's of adoptive friends that will really understand just how important and special this will be to our precious girl who has had a really hard start!! I would also like to ask for your prayers that this would have a huge turnout for our girl!!
