Dear Jesus

[mommy9]

Dear Jesus a week will have passed tomorrow since I was supposed to find out about my little Julianne.  I know social workers are busy people.  I also know that everything happens in your time, but You still tell us to ask and we'll receive.  I can't help but have tears slip down my face when this heaviness comes in my heart.  I so badly want the final word to be that she is ours.  I praise You for letting us have word that we had been selected, but that wasn't officially and I'm begging you for the "official" word. 

Lord You have blessed me so much.  The nine beautiful kids running around this house are each a blessing straight from You.  You have blessed me in such incredible ways that I can't even express my amazement and awe at what You have chosen to do for me.  In all my wildest dreams I never imagined anything as great as the family that You have built for me.  When I think of the wonder of each arrival: Precious's adoptive placement in September of 2001, Dayton's birth in October of 2001, Denzell and Unique's arrival for adoption in January of 2003, Forrest and Andrew's arrival for adoption in March of 2006, Crystal Destiny and Ezekiel's arrival in November or 2007, and now the upcoming arrival of Jacob and Jose.  The blessing of Julianne will overflow my heart I am sure.  I can only imagine the joy in a house with 12 children. 

So Jesus, tonight I beg of You that tomorrow they would give us an official and definite YES.  I pray that we would get all the information and ICPC would start quickly.  I pray that things would move quickly and she would come home very close to the boys.  I also pray Lord Jesus that tomorrow would show huge progress with ICPC on the boys.  Please Lord bring them home for Christmas.  And Jesus, I know it would take a miracle, but You are a Lord of Miracles so I ask that if there is a way in Your plan to bring Julianne home for Christmas too Lord that You would bless us in such a magnificent way. 

You are the reason for every season and I praise You! 

In Awe of You and Begging for the Grace of these blessings
