Sara Eve's Adoption

A Special Time in Church

Every Sunday morning our pastor, Chip, will come by and ask us how the adoption is going? He will also ask us if there is anything he can do for us? Our response is always, prayer? This morning when he ask us we had the privelege of telling him we were leaving on Wednesday, March 29. After he started the service, he ask us to stand as he told the congregation we have been working on a project. He ask me, Susie, to tell the congregation what we have been working on. I started telling everyone that we have been working on something for about a year and half and that we were finally going to leave to go to China on Wednesday to adopt our daughter. Of course, I started to cry as I was telling our story to everyone and the entire congregation, simultaneously, said, "Ohhhhh" and clapped for us. I ask that they continue to pray for us that we would have safe travel and a smooth adoption process. Chip led us in prayer and followed up with The Lord's Prayer.

It is so good to have such wonderful people in your life. A church family is so important. There were several people that came up to us and wished us well. One man wanted our phone number because he knew someone who just went to China 6 months before. It is such a good feeling to know that people, whether you know them or not, are willing to pray for you. I thank God for this church and my church family and that He will bless them always. Amen.
