Happy Birthday Peter!!

The day started off with great hope and anticipation! The night before I received a message that the cake we were ordering would be  delivered ( it was already in the AM in China). The orphanage staff would be preparing for Peter's party around 12pm.

I thought back to when I first heard about our sweet little guy. The orphanage had prepared his paperwork when he was 6 months old and still he waited. When our agency came to start a one-to-one program with his CWI, they had expressed concern to our coordinator about him finding a family, since he had yet to be chosen. 

So today, especially today, was going to be a big day! It would signal a shift, a change on day that had gone unnoticed before. He is CHOSEN! He is LOVED! He has a family that will travel a world away for HIM! Maybe the fullness of that change was not quite felt in the moment of icing glory!!


However I know the staff felt it!! The celebrated by painting the kids faces with face paint make up!! 

Happy Birthday to our little guy Peter!!! We look forward to celebrating your birthday and EVERYDAY of life with you!

All for 1 because of 1!

This Fundraiser has now closed!


To say Noah (our 7 year old) is excited to have a brother, would be an understatement. Even before Selah was home he was asking if we could adopt a little boy too. He has faithfully prayed for his brother. Now that his brother is soon to come home he in for the fight! He has been coming up with ways he would like to raise money to help his brother come home.

One of the ways we talked about raising funds was adoption t- shirts! We sat down and wrote down his favorite colors, ideas, and Bible verses. We worked with great people at Fund the Nations and decided on this design!

All for 1 because of 1... 






"For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!" Romans 8:15

 We are so excited about these shirts! The reminder and encouragement they bring and the testimony they are to bring! Glory to Him!!!
