Well I'm still here. Things have been a little crazier than usual. We are having interior painting done, and have pretty much been living out of the kitchen and the bedrooms.
Gifty has transitioned into our family wonderfully. She just fits right in. I know God intended her to be in our family from the start.
I wanted mention my dear friend, Carolyn. She and her husband have 9 children, 3 which are adopted from Ethiopia. They are now adopting another child from Ethiopia. She is 9 years old, and she has a special medical need.
I love Carolyn's way of wrtiting on her blog. She has a good sense of humor and is also straight to the point. In a recent post she asks "Do you have empty arms? I know a few kids that need them."
They are trying to raise money for their current adoption expenses. Please visit Carolyn's blog for encouragement, a laugh, and inspiration. If you feel led, please considering helping financially to bring their daughter home.
On the right side of her blog, you can click on the "donate" button and be entered to win a beautiful quilt. It is being raffled to raise money to bring their daughter home.
Carolyn's Blog
Not everyone can adopt, but we can all give something to make it possible for others who are willing to go the extra mile and welcome an orphan into their family and give them a family, a future, love and hope.
James 2:14-17
14What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? 15Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. 16If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? 17In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
