My cousin, Giggles, the night we got to eat Krispy Kreme Dough nuts at 10:30 pm!

HOPE

Encase you didn't know, we had our homestudy for our adoption on Tuesday! It all went really well and the caseworker was very nice! Just wanted to share that bit of information with you! Now the hardest part of the adoption is done!

Just as the daffodils bring us hope that the winter is soon to be over and Spring will come,
may we be able to bring hope to our two little ones!

"I Simply Think of My Favorite Things...

Noel working in Louisiana on the Carpenters for Christ Mission trpNoel and a good friend, a fireman who has come on the trips for many years.

Noel loves to do carpentry! Absolutely LOVES it!!! It is so much fun to work with her because she knows what she is doing. But she doesn't just do it because she is good at it, she does it because she loves it! She loves to teach others about the craftsmanship of carpentry, she is so patient, she makes it to where you can understand what she is trying to teach you.

Love and miss you Noel!

God Bless, Joy.

Wonderful Wednesday

Little C.R. at the Aquarium looking at the penguins.

On this Wednesday of late July we were blessed with being able to have an end of the Summer pool party then were able to eat out at CiCi's Pizza!!!! We had a blast! On the way there we ran into our youth Minister, Sunshine's Daddy and he came and ate lunch with us! We then came home and watched a good movie in the cozy living room!

Tonight I was able to go and work in the nursery with my Aunt Carol and Uncle Jr.! We had a blast! There were five boys, a three year old, two two year olds, a one year old and a four month old. We also had SunShine who is two! There were balls flying everywhere, playful screams, laughs and much more! We had our hands full but it is always such a blessing to see little ones who are happy and full of joy! I think seeing a little one does anyone good! I love how my Grandmother's face lights up when she sees a little one. It is so sweet. May we all follow her example and never take a little one for granted!

I hope that you had as blessed a day as I did, but, everyday is a blessing! May we never forget that!

God Bless, Joy.

Please pray for Rose and her little brother and Mrs. Anita. Mrs. Anita is the lady that is in charge of the adoptions in Ghana through AAI. Mrs. Anita flew over there a couple days ago and she said that all of the children at Eban House were just PRECIOUS!

Every time I think of my new little siblings, all I want to do is fly over there and bring them home! It feels as though I know them and they have been away for SO long!

Lord, please be with Rose, Jack and all the other orphans around the world! Please give them all Cristian and loving homes! Give them Parents who will care for them and brothers and sisters who want to teach them about all sorts of things! Just as there is hope every morning when the sunrises, let the little children see a sunrise! Please give them hope and a family!
Please bring them all home soon!
Amen.
