How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called the children of God!
1 John 3:1

A Father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, he leads forth the prisoners with singing.
Psalm 68:5-6

Praise God from whom All Blessings Flow!

At 4:15 today, I received the most amazing phone call....the one that made me a mommie!! I have a 3 1/2 month old daughter waiting for me in Ethiopia!!! I am once again amazed at how good our God is and so thankful that she and I are now FAMILY. More to come in the next few days.....
