I Can't Believe It's Almost Here!

We leave to go adopt my sister in 6 days, can you believe it, I CAN'T! I remember when we got our court date and I thought it would never get here, and it is just right around the corner, time has flown by! I have so much to get done, and I am so excited but really nervous at the same time. Today in church, my amazing RBF and teachers prayed over me for my family's safety and for our hearts and Christina's heart to be prepared to be thrown completely out of our comfort zones and into a world of change and love. I know that God is already at work in our hearts preparing us to be a family, and I cant wait to see it revealed in our lifes. I just want to say thank you for everyone who has been a support system through this tough time of waiting and thinking it was never going to happen, you all were so encouraging! I, personally have to say thanks a million to 4 amazing people who I would not be as strong spiratually if they werent part of my life. Those people are my RBF leaders who I can also call my friends, mentors, and pretty much a 2nd mother for the last 3 years. Christy, Cindy, Robin, and Kim, I appreciate all your prayers and encouragement through all this. You have changed my life and taught me more than anyone and I am so thankful! I will miss all of you so much! And one more thing, Jessica, you have been the best friend I could ever ask for. This journey would have been ten times harder if I didnt have you to cry, talk, and laugh to. I love you to pieces and I will miss you. Thanks for all the prayers, keep em' coming! In Him, Anna.

Anna, isn't it awesome that God chose YOU to be a sister to some amazing orphan children! Wow! That is a testimony to your life, your dedication to your spiritual walk with Christ and the love that He has for you. What an honor! Love, Valerie Hall
