Can we pray for you?

One of the ways we can care for the Orphan is through prayer!!!  There are many who are in the process of adopting now and some who have just brought their newest treasures home.  I received an email from Rebecca asking for prayer.  Please consider praying for her and emailing me if you also have a request that you would like posted here!  (sandi1@jps.net)  (OH YEAH!  If you would like to let Rebecca know you are praying for her or if you would like to send her an encouraging word please leave a note below and I will make sure she gets it! <3 Sandi)

From Rebecca:
Hello all!


Just thought I'd send along a note to say that I'm taking my adoption prep classes this Saturday and next Saturday and am nearing the final stretch of the variety of forms needed to get matched up with a social worker. I'm working with Family Connections Christian Adoption agency in Sacramento and praying for a son to come my way. It took me so long to get to this point!

If you would be so kind as to pray with me for the following (or whatever else moves your heart). My number one guiding prayer is simply that His will be done, whatever that may be. But here are a few other areas I'd ask for you to join me in prayer:

-That our house situation would not prevent our family from growing. We own a small, old mobile home that lets me not have to worry about our finances every month AND allows us to travel on missions and other family trips. I pray that there will not be major improvements that have to be made or that it would be deemed too small for a new family member.

-That Jesús (my son) and I would continue to grow closer through this potential change and growth in our family. We share a wonderful relationship and adding a new brother would certainly bring major changes - some terrific and some more challenging for both of us.

-That He may be preparing the heart and life of any little boy that He may have identified to join our family. If He has a new member of our family waiting for us, that he be safe, healthy and protected from harm while he's waiting for us.

Thanks so much for any prayers you may be surrounding us with and the wonderful loving example you've all already given me to follow - you make me feel so strong and peaceful about continuing the process I was called to long ago.

In Christ,

Rebecca
