Having FAITH

Please read this emergency update on Amelia (Liliana):



My heart is breaking for this precious little girl. Why should any one have to go through this? Pray fervently for this little girl's life. It is on the line. Only God can save it. As you read in the post above, they are coming home to the US, with Amelia tonight. Pray fervently!


Praying for

Amelia

with faith,

believing together that she will be healed!


"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful."
Hebrews 10:23

A Miracle


(I please ask that you read the post before this one, before you read this one if you haven't)

Sweet Amelia (Liliana).

A desperate situation.

All hope seeming to be lost.

BUT GOD!!!!!!!!!!

Miracle, by miracle God has used thousands of people to help make this rescue call on this sweet baby girl's life.

People's hearts broken, by Amelia's story.

Money poured in for Amelia's adoption.

Thousands of prayers offered.

Then, a family committed to adopt her!

~A YEAR WENT BY~

Her family trying desperately to get to their sweet baby girl.

Amelia's situation getting worse, and worse.

BUT GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, her forever family got there.

Amelia was barley holding on and wasn't strong enough to make the long trip home.

Once again, thousands of people prayed and prayed on Amelia's behalf.

Her body, so sick, so desperate, they had to put her in a hospital in Bulgaria.

People again, prayed and prayed.

God heard our prayers.

Amelia is doing a little bit better!

Please pray for the an amount of enormous peace for her family as they travel home.

Please KEEP PRAYING for Amelia!!!


Yesterday, when I heard that Amelia was not doing good, I opened my bible, and asked the Lord to show me a verse. My bible opened to a couple passages in John. Every passage was about healing, life, or testimony. The Lord clearly said to me:
"Amelia is going to be healed, she is going to have life, she is going to have this powerful testimony!"

After I have come on my blog asking for urgent prayers for Amelia, I always respond with a miracle post. Because God does, and is doing miracles in people's lives! Amelia's story/testimony has been full of miracles! I have loved following Amelia's journey, and I can't wait to continue! I can't wait to see how many more miracles God does is her precious life. God has used Amelia's story/testimony in my life, powerfully. You may ask, "Well, why would God just stand by and let something like that happen?" Well, my answer to you is, He has not stood by and done nothing. He has done a lot! Look at her story/testimony. He is working miracles in every part of it. You also may ask, "Well, why did He give her disabilities, or why did he let her have disabilities." God doesn't puts sickness on us. It is because of our own sin! When the fall of man came, there was death and sickness. Before the fall of man, everything was perfect. No sickness, no death. And that is the way it is in Heaven. It was never his plan for us to have sickness, and death. It is because of our sin. And don't go blaming it all on Adam and Eve. Have you been perfect? No. Have you never sinned? No. The only one who is perfect and blameless is Jesus. I don't fully understand why Amelia has disabilities. But I know this: God will work it for good. She is weak, so He can be strong in her life. In her weak areas, he shows so evidently.

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him who have been called according to his purpose."
Romans 8:28

Please KEEP PRAYING for sweet Amelia!!!!!

God has worked so powerfully in her little life. I can't wait to see more!!!

"Saying: "Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!"
Revelation 7:12

Amelia's story/testimony will forever be imprinted on my heart.

Sweet Liliana...

Do you remember sweet Liliana? Her story broke my heart. A 12 year old girl, in a horrible orphanage. She weighs only 12 pounds. Adeye (http://nogreaterjoymom.com) advocated for her on her blog. In less than 24 hours, raised the ransom for her adoption, shortly after, a sweet family committed to adopt her. That was a year ago. The other day, Adeye wrote about how her family (http://thesousabrownfamily.blogspot.com) is there, and has Liliana, (her name is now Amelia) BUT Amelia is not doing good. She is barley holding on, and has only lived to this point by God's grace.

 PLEASE GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES AND PRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can read more at: http://www.nogreaterjoymom.com/2012/07/extremely-urgent.html

My heart is aching for this little girl.

PLEASE PRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will keep you updated.

What we have been up to...

Hey guys! How is everyone? I know I have not been in the blog world for a while, and I apoligize (again)! It has been a while since I have posted last, so let me tell you what we have been up to...

As you all know, we recently moved! We have been busy unpacking, organizing, and all that jazz! If you have ever moved before, you know what hard work it is, and that you get to the point where you never want to see a cardboard box again!! June 28, we celebrated Ana's 3rd birthday!


You can see that the birthday girl was very excited!



How old are you Ana?


She really enjoyed her special birthday cupcake...


I think her favorite part was the icing...




Present time!


And did I mention that we also had another birthday?...


More later...

Last night we got to go fishing with our Mimi and Papa...


After much patience, we caught some fish...

 

It reminds me when Jesus was calling his disciples to come follow him, and be fishers of men. I don't think it was easy when fishing for men. Us humans are so stubborn! I think they had to have patience with the people.

Here are some more pictures from the evening...







(the pictures were taken on my ipod, so they are not as clear as I would like them to be!)

Blessings,
