How God Knocked My Socks Off Today

Naomi Sunshine and Joanna Sleyca, today I have to tel you about the God who created you.  Your God is a mighty God.  I hope that every day of your life I will tell you of his mighty works, but today, I will especially tell you of his mighty works.
Yesterday I started teaching the book of James to your brothers and sisters.  There is a verse in the first chapter that talks about asking God for wisdom.  James then reminds the church that they have to ask with faith, otherwise they are like a wave that gets tossed back and forth in the sea and God will not give them anything.  We talked about how God wants us to trust him and have faith.  After that lesson I really started praying that God would have you home, in your forever home, by next spring, even sooner!!
His response to me was AWESOME!
Here is the order of events that occurred today:
1.  I sent a message asking Emily if the orphanage had a way to receive shoe boxes as Christmas gifts if they were packed by our church in Virginia for you and your friends.
2.  I was made aware of a new policy in Haiti that says that no new dossiers will be accepted until June 1, 2012 in order to clear out the ones they have right now and be able to speed the process of getting children home to their forever families sooner.  That seems like bad news, but our Dossier won't be ready until right around June 1, so God has his PERFECT timing for us-we'll be among the first dossiers to go through the new streamlined process! (Maybe I had better start to get your room ready!!)
3.  A dear friend from Grace Bible Church, and the woman who may one day be your Sunday school teacher, is heading to Haiti and since she knows about you girls she plans to come see you and hold you this summer.
4.  Emily confirmed that I could easily get my shoe boxes to you if I could just ship them to Kansas.  She said 100 boxes is perfect because right now there are 97 children at Lifeline and that the children would LOVE receiving them.
5.  Mrs Stapleton emailed to say that she has been in touch with David and in planning her trip to see you.  I'll send a gift to you with her.  She can't wait to meet you!
6.  One of your friends is coming home tomorrow with her forever family. (Nerloune)
7.  Two of your friends, Neissa and Dina, were officially adopted today so they will come home soon.
8.  Your sister wrote out a business plan to sell snacks and drinks this weekend at a yard sale to help raise money for Lifeline so that more children can gt forever families and have a wonderful home there.

WOW!  What a day.  Our God, my God and your God, showed his power and his might, and his LOVE to us all today.  I will keep writing this story so that one day you girls will sit on the couch with me and we will remember how hard we prayed with FAITH and how God honored our hearts desires to be together.  In the meantime, "I will glory in my redeemer."
