We hit a MAJOR bump in our adoption today. I just got an e-mail from our agency coordinator and things are not looking good. This has been one roller coaster ride after another. I cannot post the details, but the news in the e-mail was disappointing-- we may not make a summer pick up and as you all know as a teacher, I I really needed that to happen. Also, Jeff goes this week to find out if he will need back surgery. He had it done last summer on the left side of his lower back and he may need it on the right side. Our finances are tapped out and daycare options are going to be limited since we are unsure of the timing of her coming home. Needless to say, I was very upset and disappointed!
I am asking everyone that feels led, to pray and fast with us this weekend. I heard a message on TV while we were at the beach this week and the preacher said this: "In order to get what you have never had, you must do what you have never done." Well, this weekend, I am getting into the Word of God and standing on His promises (thanks Mom) and storming Heaven's gates with a fervency I have never had before. We need extreme favor with a new judge and with our attorney. If you do not feel led to fast, please pray with us. If there was ever a time our family needed your prayers, it is now! Thank you in advance.

Amanda - thanks for posting on my site! I just came over and saw this!! And I can SOOOO relate, we hit SO many snags and bumps on our journey - there were times i was so lost and confused I didn't even know what to pray for from God - strength, hope, His will over mine, MERCY from my pain...they just all seemed to be constant prayers.
I will PRAY for you. God is ALMIGHTY and He loves you. I pray that He comforts you and that He moves mountains for you and Isabella to be together and SOON!
((((((hugs))))

Amanda-
Please know that I am praying for you, your family, sweet Bella, and this terrible situation!
Please God work in this family's case and provide a new judge with an understanding heart. You know just the right judge to get this taken care of. Deliver their case into that specific judges hands and allow him to feel the love and prayers that are being lifted up in your precious name!!
