I'M BACK!!!! :)

**I'm back and I'm ready!!! I'm ready to advocate for the orphan and the oppressed as God has called me to do...I will NOT be fearful...I will just be smarter!!! :)
I know God has a PLAN...A BIG PLAN to bring more children to their forever families...AND, I'm here to stand in the GAP in any way God wants to use me!! So, for now...enjoy this video just put out by our agency, AGCI.....as I work to get my blog back up and running!!! I can't THANK YOU enough for all your kind words, comments, emails and prayers...You are ALL an amazing support group!!! Please know HOW GRATEFUL I am!! :)

(fyi..you'll want to pause my music at the bottom of my page AND..see if you recognize anyone from the video :)



**Happy Sunday to you all, kj

**My Daily Devotional:
"God is here, right now. When I have lost my way, God is here. When I am found again, God is here. When all around me is chaos, God is here. When all around me is peace, God is here. When I face tragedy, God is here. When I face triumph, God is here. Thank you, God. AMEN

When John heard in prison what Christ was doing, he sent his disciples to ask him, "Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else?" Jesus replied, "Go back and report to John what you hear and see: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. Matthew 11:2-5 "

  4. I am SO happy you are back. I have missed your family, which is odd, considering I don't know any of you personally. I feel like I know you all though, and I love hearing about your family and all that you do for the orphans in the world.

    Welcome back. :-D

  7. YAY! I'm so glad you are back.....I've told my husband everyday since you had to shut down that my life is just not the same without your family updates!!! :) My kids were even sad not to be able to check updates with me. You are such an encouragment to so many people and I am so thankful the Lord is giving you the courage to stand up for the orphan even when the Enemy was trying to defeat you!
    Many Blessings,

What your family is doing is amazing and so important. I know God will be by you every step of the way guiding and protecting you. You will continue to be in my prayers! Merry, Merry to you as we celebrate the birth of our sweet Jesus!

  21. I'm SOOO glad you are back. I've checked the blog everyday and sometimes more. I've missed seeing those cuties and reading all about the adventures of your day. Of course I've missed hearing your heart for the orphan. Merry Christmas!!!!!!

  22. WAHOO!!! My girls think I am crazy as I just did a little cheer for the return of Lucy Lane and the gang!!!!!! I could not even finish reading the newest post because I had to send a comment now! Praise the Lord for guidance and wisdom! And praise the Lord for a new post that will be protected by the Grace of God!

    I may leave another comment after I actually read the post, but for now I just needed to express my absolute joy!

  24. I am so glad that your blog is available to read again. I have really enjoyed reading it. My husband and I are applying with AGCI to adopt from Ethiopia. :) The funny thing is that our daughter has been wanting a baby sister named Lucy for a long time now. Then I saw your blog and I showed her your Lucy. She grinned and said, "Her name is Lucy??" She was excited. I also am interested in ways to make our adoption blog safe since we are starting one. I would love some advice.
