Grace Bizuayehu's Prayer and News EDITED

This was the end of Grace's prayer tonight before bed:
"I love my family. Thank you for giving such a nice family to me and Ellie (Hiwot.)" This Mama's heart is melting................
There are so many orphans in the world, and over 6 million in Ethiopia alone. Watch this news clip about orphans that was made by Gladney adoptive parents.
And that, my friends, makes it an easy decision for us in S'ville to be back on this roller coaster called international adoption....yes, we are adopting AGAIN! :-) We are excited, overwhelmed, blessed, scared, numb, amazed......oh I can go on and on but you get the picture!
Stay tuned and please keep our family in your prayers as we work to bring home another set of precious siblings from Ethiopia to our family.
This is my new signature line on my e-mail:
"I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much." -Mother Teresa :-)
Blessings,
Kristy
"I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you." John 14:18
