I have spent a lot of time these last 2 days praying and laying my worries on GOD. Focusing on Him, listening for him to tell me where to go from here to bring my babies home. As I am quiet and listen, and got REconfirmation that these girls are the girls I am meant to bring home. :)
Yesterday morning I got an Facebook message from a lady who found out we were adopting "Annabelle", who we are naming Tamara. She was so happy to find our that we were adopting her. She told me that she had been praying for her and a few months ago had considered bringing her into their home! It didn't work out and she said she just decided to pray her home. She was so happy for us... "I will continue to pray her into your home. I feel like I have a special bond with her since God asked me to pray her home so many months ago." I was so touched to meet someone who loved my girl.
If that wasn't a blessing enough, just a few hours later I got this in an email..."I just learned after I tried to advocate for JENNY in one of the advocacy groups I am in, that you are adopting her! Congratulations!!!! We were considering adopting her back in February 2014....I loved her dearly as we thought and prayed about adopting her for a couple of months. My husband felt that we were to wait for another child, so I chose to advocate for her instead."
Someone who loves Jenny too!! It's hard to explain what it means to me to meet these 2 ladies. You have to understand that when you connect with the picture or video of an orphan, if it gets to a point that you consider bringing them home to be part of your family, you already LOVE THEM!! Then to not be able to do it, for whatever reason, you worry for these babies that you love!! I'm so happy that I will have a connection with these 2 ladies through my girls. I can't wait to tell them how loved they were, before we even knew them <3
On a side note, as I continue to try to raise funds to bring Tamara and Jenny home, I have decided to sell Avon. I've worked with them before and honestly love their products. Please message me or text me if you'd like a catalog, or visit my Avon website @ http://youravon.com/tjarrett There is also a link on the side bar.
Thank you!!
Congratulations!! I must say however that Tamara will feel a little different that her name does not start with a "J" like her siblings!! Speedy and safe travels to you!
