Updates

We had a wonderful Disney trip and it was such a great time to enjoy our family! Maybe if my more blog savvy friend helps me I will post some pictures! We will see! We still havn't heard anything about our adoption. I honestly was praying that while we were experiencing the Disney magic we would receive the call that a mom wanted to meet us. Not God's timing.

A very good friend has been praying for her future babies and now has given us names to attach to the prayers. What a great idea and it is an honor to pray for them by name. I am selfishly gonna steal her idea--not her names !!!
When we receive our sweet baby or babies their names will be Canaan William or Charis Lorraine. I'm asking that you pray with us too for our children by name. God wants us to pray with purpose so that is why I am going to be more specific. It is time that Satan is defeated and that these children whether by birth or adoption are brought into our lives so that we may praise His works from our generation to the next. Nate and I want to raise children who know God and have a personal relationship with Jesus. We are declaring this generation to be HIS!!! Let God be exalted and the enemy scattered!!!
Thanks for praying specifically with me for the birthmom to choose life and to choose us. Pray for Canaan or Charis or both, and pray for us that our home will be prepared and our hearts ready for one of the greatest gifts ever!
