Good things are happening!

We had an incredible weekend!  On Saturday night, we were getting together with a group of our friends from Church.  Little did we know what schemers they could be!  Emerge, a group of young adults all got together to throw us a surprise party to show us how much they support our adoption.  It is awesome to know what great friends we have and to see the support given to us by them.  Some people from Emerge don't even attend our Church, they are awesome young adults who share our vision of the future of the Church as a whole.  We are so blessed!  At the party the made posters and wrote on balloons and even gave us a prayer book that several people wrote prayers in for us and for Claudia.  As Jason and I continue with our journey, we too will write in the prayer journal, prayers for our daughter.

Speaking of our daughter... Jason and I work with a group of awesome 6th graders on Sunday mornings.  We have "adopted" these children as our "Sunday family" (and any other day of the week that we see them according to Abby).  One of these kiddo's is Abby, she is a wonderful young woman with a heart for God.  We hope that we can raise our children as well as her parents have raised her!  Abby, her sister and little brother are exceptional children and their parents are awesome role models. 

Here is a pic of Jason and Abby, taken yesterday.  Can't you tell he is ready to be a daddy? 

I want to thank everyone from Emerge for their support.  I also want to thank our blog followers for their prayers and financial support.  This adoption will not be possible without you. Thank you God for giving us this calling and for giving us the strength to follow your will for us.  Thank you for surrounding us with amazing friends, family and supporters.
