I thought it was time for a Mercy update! This has been an incredible journey so far! Since the day our letter was sent we have received nothing but love and encouragement from our friends and family! THANK YOU!!!! This is such a tremendous time of joy for us and to have all of you come alongside us with your own excitement is nothing less than AWESOME! We are blessed beyond blessed to have all of you by our sides and we are truly grateful!
The first step in our adoption process came when we hired our adoption counselor, Tracie Loux. This woman is incredible and a true gift to us! We are now into step 2, the home study, thanks to the many gifts we received for Mercy as a result of our adoption letter! To all who have given and prayed we say THANK YOU!!!!!! Thank you for giving to us so that we can continue on this journey to becoming parents! Our daughter's face will always remind us that she is ours because of YOU! That is an overwhelming thought and one that brings us to our knees in grateful praise to God for YOU! If you have read our letter, prayed, or given to us we humbly say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! We are truly grateful!
Please continue to pray for Mercy and her birthmother. Please pray for their health and safety. I pray Psalm 139 over Mercy often and I would ask that you would, too. Please pray for a smooth home study process and that the Lord will continue to bring us the funds needed each step of the way. He has faithfully and miraculously supplied thus far and we are blown away by His love for us & His call on our lives to adopt!!!!
Once again we say thank you! If we say it a million times it will not be enough!
"I thank my God in all my remembrance of you. Always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all..." Philippians 1:3-4
