This will be Pratt's first Christmas and if you didn't see my post from last year your first Christmas is huge in our family. A baby's first Christmas is a big milestone in our family and we do something extra special. This year Pratt will have a little boys my first Christmas stocking hung up and he will have a special baby's first Christmas ornament on the tree along with his official angel tree ornament. Pratt's life will be celebrated in our family and we pray that someone finds it in their heart to open their home to this precious gift from GOD. We love you Pratt.

The goal of this fundraiser is to have every kids grant at least jump 1000 dollars by New Years Eve. All donations are tax duductable and with a 35 dollar or more donation you will get the cutest ornament with this precious prince's photo on it.

Adoption and Walking On Water

You are are probably wondering what these two things have to with each other. In Matthew 14:22-36 ²² Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. ²³ After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, ²⁴ and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. ²⁵ Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. ²⁶ When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.²⁷ But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” ²⁸ “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”²⁹ “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. ³⁰ But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” ³¹ Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” ³² And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. ³³ Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” ³⁴ When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret. ³⁵ And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought all their sick to him ³⁶ and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.Why do we doubt GOD. Why do we think that is so far removed from our daily life. Christians are so scared to commit to helping orphans or even adopting because it is scary. Well I have news for you Peter was scared but yet he steped out in faith. Jesus was right there to calm his fear. Why don't you step up and do what GOD is calling us all to do.
"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves…defend the rights of the needy." (Proverbs 31:8,9)
"You are the helpers of the fatherless." (Psalm 10:14) He says in Isaiah 43:5-6 "Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, "Give them up!" and to the south, "Do not hold them back." Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth" 

Please consider stepping out in faith and do something for the fatherless. Adopt, donate, or pray just do something because every life matters.

Precious Prince

EVERY LIFE MATTERS

Today is a day of Blessings

Today Princess Melody moved to new commitments that means that her family sponsorship is done and that you can make donations straight to her new family. The McCracken family is amazing and GOD has used them in some pretty awesome ways. I know that she is going to be a blessing to them and they will be a blessing for her. Will you be in pray with our family that God will sustain her until her Mommy and Daddy can wrap their loving arms around her. I hope to have her FSP button on my page soon.

Now I would like to introduce you to our new Angel Tree Baby. Linden is a precious prince. Linden was born in 2010 same year as our Monkey Boy. Linden is described as “a very happy little guy”. You can just see the potential in his face. Linden has Down syndrome and hypothyroidism. He does not have a heart condition or any other medical conditions. His development is considered delayed. Please don't shy away from this little guy because he has medical issues. They can certainly be managed with proper care and love. All children want is to be loved. Do you have a place in your home for this little guy.  

Linden you have a place in my heart and this holiday season you will have a family even though we can't physically hold you we will hold you up in prayer. We love you Prince Linden. Linden you are fearfully and wonderfully made. I am so humbled at the fact that God has chosen us to warrior for this child.

Angel Tree 2012 starts November 1st and runs through

December 31st. This christmas our families goal is to raise 1,000 dollars for this little mans adoption grant. People have said that money has been the key factor in the reason they don't adopt please help me raise this money so that we can help Linden's find his forever family.

Name Change

I am changing the name of this blog because I think that all of these kids are Royaltly and we need to give them the royal treatmeant just a King david did to Mephibosheth in 2 Samuel chapter 9. King David wanted to do right by Johnathan which was Sauls son. David's servant Ziba was called and he told David that there was one living relitave of Saul. That mans name was Mephibosheth. Mephibosheth was crippled in both feet. David gave Saul's grandson all of of his grandfathers land. Then King David called Saul’s servant Ziba and said, “I have given Saul’s family and everything he owns to your master’s grandson, Mephibosheth. You will farm the land for Mephibosheth. Your sons and servants will do this for him. You will harvest the crops. Then your master’s grandson will have plenty of food to eat, but Mephibosheth will always be allowed to eat at my table.”

Rejocing( Miracle in our Midst)

I have recently reveled who our Angel Tree Princess was for this year. Her name is Melody she won my heart over with her adorable chubby little baby face. Melody reminded me so much of my little Monkey boy. Over the weekend my family moved into a new house and I woke up Monday morning feeling blessed beyond measure but then I found out that this Princess was on Reece's Rainbows My Family Found Me Page. If you ask the question what does this mean well here it is this means that this precious Princess is being adopted. Melody is blessed and highly favored. The fundraiser that I started will continue but it will go to her family sponsorship account that will go to help with her adoption.

So now we have chosen another child to be our Angel Tree Baby. I will not stop shouting for Princess Melody till she is safe at home with her family wherever they maybe. We love you Princess and pray for you and your family. May God Bless them and their journey.
