Thanks for the prayers

I wanted to thank everyone for praying for my dad.  Your prayers for my dad helped tremendously.  I am unsure of when in the last two weeks that this happended, but I do know that within the last two weeks he stopped running from God's love.  And I can safely say that he, today, is resting in our Savior's arms.  He is free from cancer and pain and he is home.

I would ask that you continue to pray for me and my siblings, as we go through an unusally time of morning.  We did not get to know a man that loved and lived a life dedicated to God, but we will.

Isaiah 35:10


"and the ransomed of the Lord will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away."

Prayer Concern

I know this blog is used for updates on our adoption, but I received some news yesterday that I feel requires lots of prayer.  I found out that my biological father's cancer has spread to his brain and he maybe gone before the end of the year.  Now, I am still processing through how I feel about this because I have never had a relationship with him or even known him much as a man.  But I do know that he has spent most, if not all of his adult life, running from God's unconditional love for him and the plans that our heavenly father has had for him.  And that makes me sad.  So, I am asking that you pray with me that he would stop running and that he and his wife would feel that love right now more then they ever have before and to be able to rest in the knowledge that God is with them.

Moving Forward

Last week I spoke to our new Social Worker from Luthern Social Services.  We have set up a meeting with her for August 22nd in the evening.  Just wanted to let you know that the process is once again moving forward.  It will be after this meeting that our profile will once again be shown.  It has been on hold since March, so this feels like a step in the right direction.
Again, Matt and I really appreciate the love, prayers and support we have received from all of you.  We hope and pray that we are on the finally stretch.
Many blessings!
