AMAZED

All I can say is God is beautiful and faithful and loves us so much. He has shown Himself so faithful throughout this process. As u know from the last update we had a God sized problem, YES I SAID HAD :) God has answered our prayers once again. We received a donation today that covers the balance we needed. God blessed some very special people, who in turn blessed our family. Through their faithfulness and generosity we are able to bring our daughter home. I wish I could write beautiful words that would display how grateful we are. Words that could give back to them some small part of what they have given. I feel so humbled and completely unworthy... sigh

I set out a challenge early on in this blog. I asked ppl to follow along on our journey, to watch God do miracles. To be here and see that He could take what little we had to offer and turn it into a God sized dream. My prayer has been that as you ride out this story with us your heart is shaken so to the core that you have to move, you have to do something. I challenged you to watch and see that if God can do what seemed impossible for our family, that you would take your own leap of faith. Don't wait until it feels right or you reach a certain place, these babies, and children and teenagers need us now! If God is drawing you to move... Then do like we did, Look to Him and say," Ok God, We are stepping out, but you have to do this because we can't" every time things have gotten hard I have had to tell Him that again. God still does miracles, He will be faithful and be with you every step of the way...

To the precious ones who gave to us... Again we say thank you, words cannot express our gratitude. Every attempt to say thank you feels so feeble and weak. I pray God bless you beyond your wildest dreams...

For everyone who has prayed and cried and held us... Thank you... God is writing Ariana's story her legacy and each of you are a part of it.

When I lay eyes on my baby for the first time, and as I am blessed to watch her grow, I will remember each of you and how you each in your own way helped bring her home.

Now we wait again, as long as our TA arrives by wednesday (it is waiting for one last signature and predicted to arrive Monday or Tuesday ) then we leave the 16th to bring her home... HOME!!!!

Thank you God for your faithfulness, for holding us and guiding us and loving us, for making our dreams come true... I am so unworthy of your love, yet so very grateful to have it. :)
