Please Pray

Please pray for my dad, and my mom. I'm not sure how much detail I really want to get into on this blog for their privacy issues. But please, my mom covets your prayers. Things are not good with my dad at all on so many levels. I might post more about this later.

We Are All God's Children

"Adopting one child won't change the world; but for that child, their world will change."

James 1:27
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

Proverbs 28:27
He who gives to the poor will never be in need, but great curses will be on him who gives no attention to them.

Proverbs 31:8-9
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those who are dying. Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless and see that they get justice.

Prayers to Birtukan's birth family in Ethiopia.
Financial wisdom, support, and peace through the process; that no other financial commitments will suffer, and all needs will be met. Proverbs 28:27 - He who gives to the poor will never be in need.
Adjustment of having a new child in our family for Jackson and Madelyn.
Health for all the pregnant moms, children, and orphans around the world.
God's love and peace to be shown upon all birth families, and wisdom and strength for all birth moms while making the decision of parenting vs adoption.
Continued support and prayer for those countries in need.
