One Well Loved Little Girl!

If there is any doubt in anyone's mind as to whether or not Olivia gets enough attention, being the fifth born and all, let these pictures I have snapped of our daily life dispel any fear! She is one well loved little girl! Not only does she have parents who are so extremely grateful for the GIFT she is from God, but she has four doting older siblings that share the joy with us! Thank you, Jesus, for love that just keeps multiplying.

Safely Back in Brazil

Thank you to all who have prayed for us! We have arrived safely and are finally able to update. And post some pictures, of course. :) (There are more on facebook! You can add us as friends if you haven't already.)

Jesus Paid It All!

Well, as you can imagine, my hospital fiasco after Olivia's birth incurred quite the bill. We do not have any kind of insurance, so we were encouraged to apply for Medicaid to cover the cost. We went through all of the red tape and jumped through all their hoops, waited, called, waited some more and called again.

Olivia Glorianna and the Glorious Revelation

Olivia Glorianna and the Glorious Revelation

Many of you followed, heard about, prayed for, or participated directly or indirectly in Olivia's birth process and know how everything was turned upside down during that time.

Sometimes we need a "everything turned upside down" moment in our lives so the Lord, who is in control of all things, can wake us up to something we may not be seeing.

"being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ."  Ph 1:6

The Adventure of Olivia Glorianna's Birth

The Adventure of Olivia Glorianna's Birth

Olivia's birth was the strangest birth process I have yet been through or witnessed. It was a true adventure, and we saw the GLORY of God in so many ways, that we just had to proclaim that in her very name!
