TO GOD BE THE GLORY

My sister's status before they went to get her -

"Verses on our minds as we woke up for this biggest of days . . . I will never leave you. . . though I journey to the far side of the sea, still Your hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast . . . I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you. . .You will keep in perfect peace all whose thoughts are fixed on You, because they trust you. . .God has not given us the spirit of fear...

but of power and of love and of a disciplined mind . . . Though father and mother forsake you, the LORD will take you up . . . the LORD is close to the broken hearted and rescues those whose spirits are crushed. . . The LORD is my refuge and my strength a very present help . . . The LORD has done great things for us, and we are glad!!!!
 Today is the day we finally meet our daughter. I can not wait to whisper in her ear--you are my daughter . . . beloved forever. Thanks for all of your prayers for us. We desperately need the personal loving involvement of the Creator God and HE IS here helping, guiding, strengthening. Praise Him!"

 

Last night (Wednesday) at 11pm CST my sister Deb, held her sweet baby in her arms for the first time ever!  We celebrated the occasion here with a party!!!  Here are some pics from our fun!  Alyvia Huimang...you are loved with an everlasting love by your forever family and most importantly by the God that sent His Son to die for you!  Can't wait to teach you about Him and His love for you!

Noah fell asleep with glow stick in hand!

Woke up to this quote on my sisters page - "We got her and she is the sweetest EVER! Not a lot of grieving yet, Omma says she's pretty chill. Thanks for praying for her and her foster family and us. Cant wait to show you our new daughter! The LORD has done great things for us! We are glad! And forever grateful for another beautiful baby!!!!!"

Then TODAY we got to Skype with Deb, John, and ALYVIA!  She was super excited to see the bigs on the computer.  Below are a few pics!  The one is VERY fuzzy/dusty...but her smile was amazing so I posted it anyway.

And now the bigs are making welcome home posters!

TO GOD BE THE GLORY, GREAT THINGS HE HATH DONE!!!
