At last!!! Halelujah!! I am so excited to let you know that the adoption for Michael and Gabriel was approved this week!!!! Praise you LORD! They were adopted by a loving Christian couple from Germany. Thank you, thank you to all of you who helped support us through these challenging years with your blessings of prayers, encouragement and finances. We really could not have done this without YOU!! It is so rewarding to see the fruits of our labor.

Update on Los Cedros

I went to visit the children in Los Cedros this weekend. What a blessing to see how God is working in their lives. They all look so healthy and happy !

Jose I am SO proud of you!! He was chosen to represent his school in a poetry recital. He gave me a recitation while I was there. SO impressive! I was amazed, you have come a long way! Keep up the good work Jose!


















Josecito and his brother Joseph, handsome as ever, are in the process of being placed in a loving Christian home.









Celeste and Juanita still melt hearts with their smiles.
I remember the very 1st day you came to us Juanita, look how tiny you were. My Faith was one of the first ones to get hugs from you. My how you have grown!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2011

"Write the vision and make it plain.” Hab 2:2 NKJV

Our Vision, we must “Find” It! If we want God's best, we must think about how to invest our life. Jesus said, "If you know these things...happy...are you if you...[do them]." Living this way means:
Jesus said, “For this reason I was born” (Jn 18:37 NIV). When you know why you’re here and what your God-given purpose is, you’ll have all the momentum you need. You won’t always get it right, but you’ll have the power to overcome each obstacle as you proceed. If you get turned around, God loves you enough to get your attention, correct and redirect you and get you back on track. But to find the right answers you must first ask the right questions, such as: (1) What desires have been living in me most of my life? (2) What motivates me to be productive? (3) What keeps me going forward when I’m worn out? (4) What makes me refuse to quit when I meet with resistance or opposition? (5) What do I do that doesn’t seem like work? (6) What do I do that brings positive response and support from others? (7) What am I doing, or what’s happening in my life when doors seem to open automatically and effortlessly? (8) What do discerning leaders and godly counselors think about my work? (9) What makes me feel good about being who I am? (10) What makes my creative juices flow? (11) What am I willing to sacrifice to accomplish it? (12) What am I doing that I’d be proud to offer for God’s approval? (13) What would I do without being paid, if I could afford to? (14) What would I be willing to withstand Satan over, in order to accomplish it? What is God saying to you? It’s not too late; “find” your vision and follow it!
