Thank for the book recommendation. <br /><br />Praising God on this 1st anniversary of Sam & Lucy's official adoption day! Movers come on Tues, 5/26. John Austin "graduates" from 6th grade on 5/29. We close on the house on 6/1 (it sold before it ever went on the market). We head to Disney w/ Nana on 6/2 then off to Hong Kong on 6/6.<br /><br />Oh my!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01158109379150463976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208240036939788595.post-18304740937891318582009-05-20T16:07:49.039-04:002009-05-20T16:07:49.039-04:00I am so happy for Joseph and for your family! God...I am so happy for Joseph and for your family! God has so many kids just waiting for open arms. So glad you opened yours!<br /><br />I read The Dream Giver at the very beginning of pursuing the big dream God gave me 6 years ago - to go back to school and become a nurse, so that I could serve Him by caring for the children of Africa. My story is one of amazing ways that God opened door after door, so that when I graduated from nursing school last summer at the age of 57, I had an invitation to come to Uganda to work for a time in a clinic there. While I was there, God asked me to open a small orphanage, and now the ministry there is growing, and more people are becomeing involved. Women and children are being cared for, and God is being glorified! Who would have thought?!! I have kept a quote on my refrigerator for the past 6 years: Dream a dream so big, it is bound to fail unless God is in it.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04194542499632486388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208240036939788595.post-70679648851440420182009-05-20T02:28:26.633-04:002009-05-20T02:28:26.633-04:00I haven't had a blog check-in day for quite some t...I haven't had a blog check-in day for quite some time, also.

I thought to myself it won't be long and the airport will be full of people waiting to welcome home Joseph when Gwen comes back with him. I love your blogs and your passion. It creates such a stir in my heart to read them. Keep them coming.<br /><br />LisaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014800843354436135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208240036939788595.post-14254929902595897992009-05-18T09:59:00.000-04:002009-05-18T09:59:00.000-04:00So glad things are going well..
