Ten Tiny Toes - Adoption Update!


Little Miss Hutcheson Has Arrived!

The Lord has blessed us by adding ten tiny toes to our family! It's a girl!

Yesterday we welcomed home our new daughter! We are on cloud 9! We are feeling so blessed and so grateful for what the Lord has given us and we have enjoyed every minute with her thus far.

We hope to be able to share more details and pictures with you soon. Right now we only have foster care of our baby girl but our lawyer is working to get us a court date so that we can obtain legal guardianship. Closer to that time we will share more with you! For now, we'll just tell you that she's the most gorgeous, precious, adorable, cute, good natured, sweet, beautiful baby girl we have EVER seen! =)

Please pray for us as we make the transition to parents of two babies, as Isaiah adjusts to being a big brother, and as our sweet baby learns to trust and love her new family.

We look forward to sharing more with you soon!

Peace

When many things seem to be going wrong, TRUST ME.



When your life feels increasingly out of control, THANK ME.
 
These are supernatural responses, and they can lift you above your circumstances.

If you do what comes naturally in the face of difficulties, you may fall prey to negativism. Even a few complaints can set you on a path that is a downward spiral, by darkening your perspective and mind-set. With this attitude controlling you, complaints flow more and more readily from your mouth, each one moves you steadily down the slippery spiral.

The lower you go, the faster you slide;
                     but it is still
                                             possible to apply brakes.
 
Cry out to Me in My Name!
Affirm your trust in Me, regardless of how you feel.
Thank Me for everything, though this seems unnatural- even irrational.
