Overwhelmed with love.....

Dave and I had such a wonderful Christmas. We are blessed with amazing friends and family. My little bothers and sisters took their Christmas money and gave it towards their little nephew. No words could ever describe that moment, pure love. Even though we didn't buy much, because we are saving all that we can for the adoption this holiday season was stress free and so full of love.

Now, as we head into 2010 I am looking forward to many things that we have been believing for to come to pass. 2010 is our year!! (you can claim that for yourself as well). With God ALL things are possible.

An update on the grant trail.... One of our grants is being reviewed and we will hear something by the 1st week of February. We are thanking God and giving Him all the glory that we will get a "yes" so we can bring our son home. The other 2 grants are being reviewed and we haven't heard anymore other than have patience.

Thank you for standing with us! We will be meeting our little guy soon and then bringing him home.

Giving God ALL the glory and thanking Him in ALL things.....

Happy New Year!!

I Am Blessed!

Dave and I had a fabulous Thanksgiving! We are even more excited that these will be the last holidays we spend without a little one running around!!

We are still moving forward with finances for our little guy. Just last week I found out that we don't need visas for Korea...Praise God! I had estimated about $300 for our visas, that is more money we get to deduct from what we need. We haven't heard anything from our grants YET, but we will very soon!

Giving God all the glory with ever step we take!

Standing!!

Things have moved increasingly fast for us with this adoption. As of last week we were #4 on the waiting list for a little boy. Yesterday I got an email that stated we are now #2!! We are so exciting!! The only thing that stands in our way now is finances. You know what? That is not a big deal for our very awesome & faithful God!!

We continue to stand on the Word that came out of our spirits during a rough time while living in China..... WE TRUST YOU LORD,NO MATTER WHAT!!

Please stand with us for a provisional miracle, all the grants that we are applying for get processed fast and that we get a "yes" to all of them and for our little guy in Korea.

Dave and I love you all very much!! Thank You!!

Excitement is building.....

Ever since we finished our home study the reality that we could get a call about our little guy any minute is just over taking me! I can honestly say that to be a mommy is a huge desire of my heart. I just envision him in all aspects of our lives, I simply cannot wait!! His beautiful dark eyes will be looking into mine very soon!

We mailed off our first grant application today. If you are following along with this blog, please pray in faith that favor surrounds us and that the hand of the Lord moves our application to absolutely the right person!!

Our confessions is that in the Behrens household we do not lack anything!! Praise God that during a time where everything is falling down around us, we can stand in perfect peace and know in whom we trust!!

Finally Done!!

As stated in this title we are DONE...with what? Our home study. On Thursday Dave weighed in and met his goal weight for S. Korea and then we headed down to Ft. Myers for our fingerprints. After Dave's weigh in at the Drs. we went and had a fabulous lunch. Dave was definitely hungry after not eating for a couple of weeks. I married a great man!! I can't tell you how exciting it is to be done with all that glorious paperwork.

Now, we maintain our peace, patience, joy, and faith as we press on for all the finances to come in and wait for the beautiful picture of our baby boy. Our social worker should be calling us in the next two weeks to talk about timing.

I am starting to think about a nursery theme. I know it is early still, but I am a planner.

Please continue to stand with us for complete provision for our little guy. Our God is always faithful!!
