Thank you Emmanuel Baptist Church!!!!!!

Ezekiel 34:26 I will bless them and the places surrounding my hill. I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing.



I can say we truly feel loved!!!!! A "Welcome" shower for Sneha and Elijah was such a blessing. These two children were not celebrated at their births, but we celebrate those who's lives have touched so many. God had big plans for these two orphans. He placed them in a grateful family. People say they are blessed ,but I am blessed to have these children in my home. Born a world away in circumstances only known to God, but they were not forgotten. If God is whispering to your heart to adopt, don't wait. These children cannot wait for our timing to be right, they need families now. Elijah and Sneha will now grow up with hope for a future. The future for orphans is bleak they are viewed as cursed in their native lands-bound for a life full of disappointment and suffering. Birth children need to see and know the plight of the orphan so they can grow up to change the world. Change can only happen when we truly step out of our comfort zone for the greater good. God equips families with the tools that they need to take care of those who have been through trauma, illness, hunger, and tremendous sadness.


Leviticus 19:34 The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born. Love him as yourself, for you were aliens in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
My eyes were seeing stars from all of your thoughtfulness.
A new life, a new family, and the love from a church family.

Goodies for the party.


Many thanks to Marcie and Stephanie for caring for the least of these and making their mother feel very blessed. Thank you for caring about us!


The only photo of my dear friend Debbie at the shower. She is a woman that loves God and has stepped out of her comfort zone to welcome the blessings from our Father from China, Guatemala, and Ecuador. Days are often long and hard, but she keeps putting one foot in front of the other-a true inspiration to me. May God bless you richly!!!!!

Two treasures that have forever changed me.

A beautiful quilt for Sneha made by loving hands from the EBC quilt ladies.

Sneha's first new stuffed animal for her room

Greatful for gifts for Elijah.

Beautiful clothes for the little girl that two months ago han nothing to call her own.

Look at all the gift cards to buy things for future needs!!!!!
