A Warm Jacket

I am so thankful to say we've had a few donations come in. $620 since we started our tax deductible website(praise God!) and $24,380 to go to be able to bring our boy home, for good. 

My husband and I started reading a prayer book and I really find myself in prayer a whole lot more. Would you join me? We know without a doubt this boy is the will of God. That He broke or hearts for him and set him in our family. With that being said, our prayers need to be bold and strong, without weakness, knowing that God is going to finish what He started. That this is impossible to us, but to Him, it's not. He already has it all planned and figured out. We are praying to be connected to the right people at the right time, for the hearts of those who come in contact with our grant applications, our website, our fundraisers, and our story. Praying all these hearts WILL be stirred in an incredible way. Knowing that the body of christ is going to rise up and redeem another life worth fighting for.   Praying that for even those of us who only have $1 to spare will know that it it counts and it helps and that dollar will be blessed. The more we give of what we don't have, the more God pours down blessing on ourselves. Pray for open hearts and open minds. Pray for Godspeed. We want this only to make sense to Him, so HE can receive all the glory. Pray, pray hard. We are desperate to get this boy home where he is loved and cherished. 

I asked Sergey what he needed, as I was going to mail him a Christmas package. He will never go another holiday or birthday again without knowing he's loved, wanted and cared about. He said "momma, a warm jacket would be good, headphones and some candy. Only if you can. I love you very, very much mom". He needs a jacket. A warm jacket. Tears roll down my cheeks as I read those words. First, I love his heart. Second, it's just killing me to think of this sweet boy freezing, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Kills me. He doesn't deserve this. He's a child of God and we need to get him out of there to make him one less, one less orphan. So I ran out, got him a warm coat, $4.99 headphones and a little bit of candy and off it went. He's already thanked me. A thankful heart...oh how I miss him.

Please pray hard for every aspect of this adoption. God hears every prayer. And if you feel your heart moved by this incredible boy, consider giving this holiday season to an amazing cause...freeing our boy.
