There are many things that I could say about this special day, but I'm not sure where to begin and it is getting late. I read a great blog post today from a lady who has adopted several children internationally. I encourage you to take that time to read this post and pray and ask the Lord how you might reach out to the orphan.

Orphan Sunday
Today was Orphan Sunday and our church allowed several families who have adopted to share their testimonies to Sunday school classes. We enjoyed the opportunity to speak to a young married class for about an hour and share some of our journey to Rebekah.

Birmingham
We finally made it up to Birmingham for a weekend to visit my parents. My mom and dad have come to visit us often, but we have been wanting to get up there to stay with "Kay-Kay" and "Papa Mike". Aunt Jen and her boyfriend, Kevin, came for the weekend, too. The weekend also provided an opportunity for a few of my friends to meet Rebekah for the first time. We had a great visit!

My precious friend from college, Melissa, and her daughter Ella came by to meet Rebekah. Ella and Rebekah are both three!
We got to also visit with my sweet friend Duski, her husband Daniel, and baby John! He has gotten so big! I'm so happy they got to finally meet Rebekah, who they were so faithful to pray for and support during our adoption journey.
