Pray For Chase Tomorrow

Below is Melissa's journal entry from today:

It's amazing how quickly 4 days has gone - I can't believe it's already almost Friday! If only Friday meant it was time to go home and enjoy this 4th of July weekend! I wish! And Chase has asked us numerous times today "let's just go home".

He's really dreading tomorrow - but hopefully the devotion tonight and prayers tonight and tomorrow will comfort him somewhat. I hope they comfort his parents as well!

Chase asked me earlier in the week if we could memorize some more scripture. He said "I just don't know enough by heart." So, I said sure thing buddy and we started with one that his great friend Colten wrote down for him to have this week. It's from Isiah 43:2 "When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. For I am the Lord, your God." He really gets into memorizing stuff...except when it comes to science tests and social studies!!! LOL

We will be up at 5:00, out the door by 6:00 and he'll be wheeled back to surgery around 7:00, then around 8:00 or 8:30 the team will have him all prepped and ready for Professor to walk in and begin. Then finished sometime in the afternoon. I don't know about updates throughout the day on the computer but if there's a way, I will post something.

I know I have asked a million times (and there are so many praying already) but PLEASE lock arms with us in prayer tomorrow for our little man. Prayer for complete protection, complete healing, guidance for the doctor(s) as they work to remove this tumor...and lastly, that they are able to get this whole tumor OUT with no risk or complication to Chase's health!!!

On behalf of our WHOLE family...We love you all & will update quickly!

Jeff, Melissa, Chase & Maddie

They Made It!!!!

This is Kelly blogging for Jamie,and I just got off the phone with her. After traveling for 44 hours, they finally made it. I'm overjoyed by the news that they were able to MEET Ruk for the first time pretty soon after they arrived as well, and everything went GREAT!!! Jamie says he is VERY small... even smaller than Dax, and that he is probably a size 4... WOW! Jamie says that all his teeth are coming in and is not the toothless guy we have seen photos of. She also said that he was very sweet and affectionate with her, and that he called her mommy already. This is a great sign as it shows he is open and ready for a family!!! Jamie was told that all day long he was chatting away that he was going to meet his mommy today! Sniff, sniff!!! Hays and Ruk hit it off real well too and didn't have any of that awkward and shy first time to meet you syndrome. They played for over an hour, and Hays had a BALL with his rambunctious and playful brother, Ruk. Lots of hugging and kissing were...

A Little Bit Of News From The Land Of A Thousand Hills. . .

I heard from Tim, my POA, today. Here is what his email said: We had a brief meeting, superior nun and was busy but favorable to adoption. She is encouraged by your heart especially with a second adoption. We have rescheduled to meet Saturday morning to finalize choice of the child. I shared your preferences and they don't have any issue with it. They told me that I need to proceed carefully especially with regards to other kids staying at the orphanage who may not get the chance of being adopted. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a picture of the boy that you may adopt! So. . .I'm assuming that Saturday means tomorrow. I am a little nervous! I am actually a lot nervous, but am trying to minimize that feeling by reminding myself that God knows the perfect child for our family! I'll be praying today!!!!!

Recovering P31

What?  A recovering P31? Proverbs 31 describes the wife of noble character.  This wife gets up early and works hard all day long and isn't even tired when she finally retires from all of her work at night.  She is a servant to her husband and she makes him proud.  She is a fantastic mom and I'm sure, if there was Pinterest in the day, she would be the Pinterest-y-est of the moms.  She isn't afraid of hard work and she has the pantry stocked in the case of an emergency and she has her family ready for cold winters, famine and hard times.  She helps strangers and loved ones alike and she has her sights set beyond herself.  Her husband praises her and her children are grateful for her and call her blessed. Oh my gosh!  What a great lady!  I want to be like her!  So why am I a recovering P31 and why am I writing about it now when I'm not even a wife? (For starters, I think this kind of noble woman is a goal regardless of any woman's marital ...
