So We Begin!

I had to share this very awesome & sweet moment. The moment that the 1st grant application was sent to a potential family. We finally got our application packet completed and it was sent just moments ago to our first family. I can not even express to you how this makes my heart soar. I am so proud. So proud that I am Anna's momma and I can pass on her love in such a way. No, it is not like getting a piece of her back. I do not want a piece of her......I want all of her and one day I will have it. Until that day I will just share her beauty and the beauty of my Savior. The beauty of love. Love to fellow parents who have been called to adopt with out certainty a child that needs every type of love & help. A child that will fulfill in them what they do not even acknowledge is missing. Why? Because you have no idea what it all means until they hand that precious being over to you. You glimpse heaven & see the reflection of the Maker's face everyday in their smile.

So, tonight we begin. Yes, this is a humble beginning but it is the first step. We have some funds right now to award and now we need the families. So if you have a friend or a friend of a friend have them contact us at annasforeverfamilies@yahoo.com
for now. Our website should be running by mid October we pray so for right now they will have to email us and we will forward the application packet. S.B., thank you again for connecting us with our first applicant family. You have such a beautiful heart my friend and I know you will be an intricate part of AFF's success(by passing our little foundation along to others).

Oh, it is just so exciting even talking about this. Things are good! We are looking ahead and praying about our future too. We are waiting to hear that still, small voice. He speaks to me daily but sometimes it is hard to make out His instructions. Actually, I do not know if it is hard to make them out or if I am scared to death to attempt them. Another crossroad within another leap of faith. Are we ready? Can we adopt again? My brain buzzes with all the unknowns. To quiet it all I just softly repeat, "Thank you God! Thank you!" He knows the rest and the rest will be made clear. Until that clarity I will just bask in the warm glow of Anna's Forever Families. This is truly an exciting time. We continue to thank each of you for your prayers...especially last week. Each one carried us. God bless you for them!

In His Hands,

Jo
