Staying Strong and Encouraged!

The weather today has been the hottest it’s been around 86 degrees plus humidity and no wind or A/C. Just our body fat turning into liquid and rolling down our arms, legs and buttocks. We heard that it’s only getting hotter over the next few days. Good way to loose weight anyway!



Robert and I had another wonderful day waiting all day to see if we could either travel to the orphanage and take a chance to see the sibling group of 3 children were available, or find out if the NAC or Alla has heard from the orphanage to give us the scoop on the kids. Alla finally received a call from the orphanage director at 5:00pm as we were walking out of the NAC. She said that the boys were at the orphanage, however, the girl was in Italy on a sponsorship program until September. Since they can’t be separated, we decided to get another appointment with the NAC to go through the children’s files again to select once again.



Robert and I are staying peaceful, strong and encouraged throughout this time. We believe that God has the right children picked out for us already and He will reveal them to us real soon. We are keeping the faith and are confident that God is working everything out for good on our and our children’s behalf.



We appreciate all of your love, encouraging and faith filled words, and most of all your prayers.



Stay tuned for more information…Same time…Same channel…Same Station…

Hello to the parents to be!!
My mother said she is thinking of you both, I gave her a little insight of what you both have been doing. That's a shame about the children. But as you have said previously the children are just waiting for you both to bring them home. Love ya
Good luck

God's ways are higher than our ways... it will be neat to see how He works this out for you!!! (Well, you know it's ALready worked out... but how He's going to reveal your blessing...!)
Praise God!

Hey Robert and Karrie...
Been reading and listening to both of you. It was always explained to me that God puts you through a series of tests...not that you really need them, but you'll have to take them anyway.
You're both going through your "ultimate" test!

This is God's way of making sure you can handle whatever comes along for your new family.
Don't be discouraged...believe in God's plan. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Love
Uncle Fred and Lucy
