All Things ARE Possible!

Many thanks to those of you who have prayed for our Malia & Ruthie and who have continually encouraged us!  We are experiencing a dark valley completing this process to bring our sweet (& I mean sweet) girls HOME!  We are leaning and trusting on our MIGHTY GOD as always!  It is so easy to praise God when everything in life is going great, but we are learning to continually stay faithful even when we do not understand and cannot see what the end result will be.  

In Mark 9:14-29 Jesus heals a father's demon-possessed son.  The father said to Jesus in verse 22, "Have mercy on us and help us.  Do something IF YOU CAN."  Jesus replies, "What do you mean, 'If I can'?  ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE if a person believes."  The father instantly replied, "I do believe, BUT help me not to doubt!"

That passage really hits home right now...we know and believe that Jesus can DO ANYTHING!  But in the small & big details of life, it gets blurry and hard to stay faithful to the course.  We are so close to getting the girls, but we have such a huge hurtle to get them it seems IMPOSSIBLE at times.  But ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD!  

So we are requesting all prayer warriors to advocate for our girls and many other children without a family (and there are willing families that Satan is trying to stop)!  This is a spiritual battle and we have to get involved...we are Christ here on earth. 

Thank you once again for your prayers in this battle!

Another verse we are clinging to...

Luke 18: The Parable of the Persistent Widow

 ¹And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. ²He said, "In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. ³And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, 'Give me justice against my adversary.' ⁴For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself,'Though I neither fear God nor respect man, ⁵yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.'" ⁶And the Lord said, "Hear what the unrighteous judge says. ⁷And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? ⁸I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?"
