Tomorrow is the DRAWING!

We would like to thank everyone who took part in the raffle that will help us continue our journey to Valerie. 


Here is a video introducing Valerie - here
to those of you who I have not showed her photo to thousands of times already. (hehe)


It means so much to us that you purchased a ticket and some of you took the time to sell additional tickets for us.  We thank you for all of the donations and we are so super amazed at the outpouring of love that you guys have given us.





We thank you for your support and wish you good luck tomorrow!
 
Come back Monday 4/15/2013 at 6:00pm to see the results.
 






See her in Action!

I am OVER THE MOON!
 
I got to see HER!
 
It only took an hour and forty five minutes to download this video. 
 
 The whole time I was staring at the screen waiting to see her smile.
 
 
So here she is.....
Our little VALERIE!
 
 
 
 
 

Hmmm, could that be gum that she is munching on? 
And she seems far to preoccupied reading to want her video taken. 

She should fit right into THIS family!
 
 
 
 
I still have yet to hear her voice, but I will take what I can get.
Don't you love those dimples!
 
God is teaching me that WHILE I WAIT........the better the gift He will give!

Praying for HIS time



 
 
In January of 2003,
 I brought home this tiny little girl.








Now look at her! 
 



 

In January of 2007,
 Robbie and I brought home this
 serious little girl.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Now take a look at this precious monkey!

 



So now as we continue to do paperwork and pray for our next child, I wonder when we will be able to bring her home.
 
That's the Million Dollar Question!
 
When?

I want to bring her home, but when?
We are getting closer, but when?
I have been praying for the past 5 years for this, but when?


I want her to have a mommy and daddy,

I want her to meet her sisters,
 
I want her to know the love of a family,
 
I want to wake her up in the morning,
 
I want to tuck her in bed at night,
 
I want to tell her we will always be there for her,
 
I want to hold her,
 
I want to brush her teeth, comb her hair,
 
I want to take care of her when she is sick,
 
I want to wipe her tears when she cries,
 
I want to hear her voice,
 
I want to tell her I love her,
 
I want to tell her GOD loves her,
 
I want her to KNOW that she is loved.
 
I don't want her to be alone anymore!
 
Please God bring her home soon!
 
 

 
 




"But when the right time came, God sent his Son."(Galatians 4:4)

So, God reminds me that
our daughter will come home....
at the right time....
at the VERY time GOD has promised!
