It's hard to believe that it is 2012, yet at the same time we welcome 2012 with open arms and a breath of fresh air. 2011 was a tough year for us in many ways, so we are excited for the opportunity of a fresh start - a new beginning. We are looking forward to what God has in store for this new year . . . hopefully a child (but God's timing is perfect no matter what)!
Here are some of our adoption prayers for this new year:
- Pray for the birth parents (not just the ones of our child, but for all the birth parents) - pray that God will work in their hearts and lead them to Him or grown them closer to Him. Several birth moms are due at the start of the year, so pray for safe deliveries, God's protection, and God's healing hand upon their hearts.
- Pray for our future child.
- Pray that we will patiently wait for God's perfect timing.
- Pray we will enjoy that moments we're in and not try to rush something we're not in control of anyways.
- Pray for God's financial provisions for our adoption.
- Pray for the Covenant Care case workers and staff.
- Most importantly, pray that God will receive the glory no matter what the circumstances may be.
This year we are more thankful than ever for people like you who choose to read our blog, pray for us, and support us in this adoption journey. You're appreciated! Happy New Year!

You both are in the fire. Through the process I pray that you will both will be. "...imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." (Ehp. 5:1) Also, in the process, to, "offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any long to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. THen you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will." (Rom. 12:1-3) All this to be true for me as a I write it and y'all through the process. What a blessing. I appreciate you both and your faithfulness. What an encouragement. - Jeff -
