We just wanted to let everyone know how THANKFUL we are for all of the support and love we have recieved throughout this entire process. Not that is by any means finished...
First and foremost THANK YOU to God. Without him presenting this opportunity to us we would not be even close to staring the paperwork. THANK YOU to God for showing his love and guidance in many many step by step answers to prayer! THANK YOU to God that we always know that he is there with us. If not for that I am pretty sure I would be hiding under the bed by now trying to escape everything! Some people say they would hide under a rock, however I am NOT a nature girl so I prefer the bed with a good book and some chocolate;-). Can you just imagine me in Uganda? I CAN!! Also for allowing to get through the loss of the girls to another family by providing us with the comfort that they will no longer be hungry when they finally come home. Also for allowing us to see one of his purposes for the loss of the girls. The opportunity to share with non-believers the fact that we can be ok with what happened because we know that God has a different plan for us and the girls! So our greatest THANKS to God for everything!!
The most important support is prayers. I guarantee that God has been getting bombarded with prayers. I am filled with joy at how happy he must be by that! For all of you who take the time to include us in your prayers THANK YOU!!
We could never forget to say THANK YOU to all the people who have provided financial support. We are so grateful for every single penny that people have donated to help us bring our child/children home. I know some people (at one point I was one of them) feel that if all they have to give is $10.00 that it would be better not to bother. That is so untrue. We are appreciative and touched by any financial donation. The amount is not what counts. It is the love that comes with sharing some of your resources to help not only us but some special child/children. So to all of you who have helped us this far and will help us in the future. THANK YOU FOR EVERY PENNY!!
To the people who have provided so much of thier time in helping us get started. In holding our hands and helping us take baby steps not to mention any names(you know who you are Jena and Keith:-). I can't imagine where we would be at this point without you! THANK YOU!!
To all the people who have provided emotional support through the good times in this crazy roller coaster if international adoption! And also through the hard times. People who have jumped for joy at the good times, and cried along with us at the hard ones. THANK YOU!!
There are many more thanks to come. We are by no means even close to finished, just waiting for the next chapter.
THANK YOU!
