Oh, I've Got the BEST News EVER.....

Oh, i've been dying to post these words EVER SINCE I was in Africa.....and IF you missed my FIRST post on these PRECIOUS kids...then READ it first HERE...and you'll know WHY!!!! Yes, I have GREAT news to share...These precious 4 HAVE A FAMILY!!! Can I hear a PRAISE GOD!!! :) Wow....I KNOW all your prayers were answered when God BROKE the HEARTS of a WONDERFUL couple and He told them: "these are your children"!!! I had this sweet new Momma of 4 email me AFTER my post on these children..and she let me know then that she'd been praying for these kids....and she had seen them on the list weeks earlier and NEVER could get them out of her mind...and...well...after some talking with the director and such later...I saw today that the kid's pics were OFF THE WAITLIST!!!! Yayyyyy!! I just couldn't believe my eyes!! I emailed Sue, the director, immediately and asked IF they were gone because someone had committed to them...and her reply "yes"!!! Oh, I was so excited.... These kids are truly wonderful little people that deserve a mom and a dad that will be devoted to them for the rest of their lives...and that is exactly what they found!! I just couldn't be happier...and oh, how i wish I were a fly on the wall when they tell them , "you have a family coming for you!!" It's exactly what they wanted and what they were praying for....and little 4 year old will no longer have to cling to the legs of strangers calling them "mom"....he'll have his OWN Mom!!! Wow...God is good and I'm just so thankful to be witnessing His miracles at work!! Congrats "W" family on your INSTANT large family!!! I know EVERYONE that reads my blog has been praying for these 4 (i can't even tell you the # of emails I've received about these 4...people committing to praying for them UNTIL they had a family)....and prayers were answered!!! ***NOW...everyone hop on over and congratulate the "W" family at www.wallingadoption.blogspot.com I know they are going to need all our support, love and prayers.....yes, please leave them a comment and let them know HOW happy we all are for them....I've already added them to my side bar so I can watch these precious 4 come home.... Can you tell I'm so excited!!! :)

**Well, LL was excited to hear the news today too...She put on quite the show for me with the camera....She is still such a nut..and she wasn't mad at me at all when i got home from Africa (which was another answered prayer..I was so afraid she'd shun me when I got home)...she ran right to me..and has been the same little love bug, nutty girl ever since :) So, I'll end with a little bit of her "nuttiness" today...Isn't she getting big:





Oh, how I love my silly girl!! Rejoicing in the good news!! Happy Thursday to you all, kj

  3. Thank you so much for the update!! I have been praying! It is so wonderful to hear how God stirs in the hearts of His people to bring children home to families! My heart broke when you talked about how the littlest one would wrap his arms around stranger's legs hoping for a Mommy! Now he has one. Thank you for your heart and willingness to share these children's stories. I can't wait to get my own!!!!!!

  6. Praise GOD for these 4 !! We just returned home from ET.. and got to see them! What precious children... also saw your sister's little guy!! ADORABLE!! we are aching as we were there for our court date..passed!!..and now wait some more with this huge hole in our hearts as it was the HARDEST thing in the world to give him--Samson Jude-- back and leave him there (until our embassy date). just can't stop the tears...
    also will be sewing a bit more ---POPPY DIPS... as we see it very necessary for Samson Jude to have BOTH mommy and daddy come for pick up... so more sewing (just ready-made sales) and praying for provision for another plane ticket!! please help pass the word!! thanks Kristi!
