Anxious...

I find myself anxious tonight. 
It seems like this last week has brought lots of bad/ negative reports from loads of different adoptive parents we have talked to.
I have a prayer request... this goes beyond myself, beyond our fears, and touches the life of a young boy.  PLEASE pray for a very dear family as they have institutionalized one of their Russian-born sons for suicidal behaviors- and he is less than 10 years old.
Friends, I find myself nervous... anxious.  SOOO many things can go wrong with this adoption.  This child could "wreck" our family; this child could be a complete disaster; this child could have medical or psychological issues that may never resolve; this child may not even like us! 
Wow... where is all the negativity coming from?  Why now?  Why all the sudden?
Friends & family, PRAY FOR US.  And most importantly, PLEASE PRAY THE LORD PROTECTS OUR SWEET LITTLE BOY!!!! WE PROCLAIM SANCTUARY over him emotionally, spiritually, physically, and all other ways.

Please pray.

Exciting news to end with: We have already received several overly generous donations for Baby Nikolai!!! This brings tears to our eyes and strengthens our heart, courage, and resolve!  We tend to be rather self-reliant people and putting our emotions, feelings, and needs out "there" for all to see was a big leap of faith for us.

GOD IS ANSWERING IN A TANGIBLE WAY.... and through you, friends & family, we are encouraged and strengthened.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS, THOUGHTS, POEMS, and BLESSINGS.

We treasure you
