There are days of tears ...

There are some days when I cry for you ... I know God has you in His hands, but I also want you in my arms ... I want you safely tucked in bed, w/ a full belly, a prayer prayed over you, and a kiss on the cheek ... THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THOSE DAYS ...

To You Both ...

Just a simple a little note to say, "I love You." ... I have had several friends get their travel to pick up their children in Ethiopia and there is this little pang of jealousy ... I am over the top excited for them, but I just long to be in your country holding you ... I know that today we are one step closer ..

New Car ... W/ Seats for YOU !!!

This has been a crazy week sweet angels ... Car disasters, your brothers/sisters fighting non-stop and lots of other stuff ... But the fun news is your daddy got us a great deal on a Tahoe that has 8 seats in it ... It brings a little smile to my face, because I can envision where you will be sitting ... I love you so much ...

I SEE YOU ..

As I am reading these days about the plight of the orphans and God's calling for us to care for them I see you more clearly .... I see God standing in the gap till we get there ... I pray someone is showing you love till I get there ... I can almost see your face, feel your touch, and hear your voice ... I know it will be a great gift one day to bring you home ...

love you mommy !!!

A NEW DAY ....

This just another new day that I have prayed for you and feel one step closer to bringing you home ... A sweet friend gave me some bracelets today from Africa ... I have them on and will wear them each day and think of you !!!!

I LOVE YOU SWEET ANGELS !!!

Wrapping You In My Heart ..

It has been a very busy week here little ones, but as always you have been in my every thought ... I adore thinking about you as you grow deeper in my soul ... There is much going on here and I make every decision based on your coming home one day ...

God is sitting w/ you till we get there ... You have an amazing daddy here, who will teach you about life, love, and the Lord ... You have two great brothers that will aggravate you, play w/ you and protect you w/ their lives, and two sisters who will make you giggle, cuddle w/ you and share all they have (at least they say they will) ...And you have me, a mommy who prays for you, loves you, and will give her last breathe to see you safely home ...

love you sweet babies !!!

THE BOOK

Sweet Angels your mommy is writing a book about adoption to help bring you home ... I had a fantastic meeting today w/ some dear friends that help me to dream big ... I know this project can touch many lives and hopefully bring more children home to their forever families ...

We are another day closer to holding you !!!

Making It Real To Everyone

Well I have updated our family blog and put you in the header ... Now many will pray w/us till you get home ... I love you sweet angels ...

Sunday ...

I tried to post yesterday, but it wouldn't let me ... I just wanted you to know that when I sit in Church and feel God's presence in the quiet moments of the singing you are so real to me ... I pray for you and it seems everything I hear I relate back to you and your brothers and sisters ... I love you angels ... I feel as if I am in the paper chase to you, but I am not ... I am one day closer to you whenever that day may be ...

Love, Mommy

Love

Just wanted you to tell you "I love you" .... I have been lazy the last couple of days and spent a lot of time thinking how you will change our life ... What it will be like when you get home ... How old will you be ... When will we begin the paperwork ... And so many other things ...

Just simply "I love you" and think of you all the time ...

Mom

Happy 4th Joseph and Abagail Oatsvall

One day you will feel a new kind of freedom and we will teach you how it came from Jesus Christ!

Will Be In Your Country One Day !!!

Baby Steps ...

Your daddy and I had a great talk the other night ... I think you are growing in his heart like a small mustard seed .... You see God created man and woman differently ... He has burdens to carry that I can not see and I have emotions he can't understand .... We are one though and God will direct us to you in His timing ...

I worked on THE BOOK all day today ... I think this project will be one way that helps us bring you home ... I love you sweet angels ... You are with me everyday ....
