Pictures of gifts from my April Secret Pal from our adoption yahoo group

My secret pal ended up being a friend I have made in our group with the same LID as us. We are hoping to get to travel together since we share LIDs. Her name is Courtney Turnmire and she is from Virginia. We have become good friends and are continuing to learn about each other and our families. I got lucky enough to have her draw my name for a pal. She was awesome and sent the greatest gifts for Sophie and me!!! God works in the coolest ways! God is good... All the time!!!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Ms. Gayle Weems, a precious lady in our church used some extra material she had at home to surprise us with blankets she made for Sophie. They are the perfect size and weight to take with us on our trip to China. The planes are always so cold and I can just see Sophie all wrapped up in her blanket when we get to bring her home! I can't wait until that day!!!

Love ya Ms. Gayle,

Tammy, Rodney, Bailee and soon to be Sophie

We need your prayers!!!

Hi all! Today our packet went into the mail to Shaohannah's Hope, which is Stephen Curtis-Chapman's and his families' organization that helps Christian couples with Chinese adoption expenses. They offer grants to families they feel qualify for assistance. Please lift us up in prayer and pray they feel as if we deserve some assistance. It would mean a lot to get any help they are willing to give us towards our trip to China! The bulk of the expenses are paid at that time and we are saving as hard and fast as we can. So with a grant from them, it would be a great addition to our savings for Sophie girl!!!

Father God,

I thank you for the opportunity to even fill out paperwork for help! I thank you that you have placed it on the Chapman's heart to assist other families who are willing to adopt from China. Father bless the Chapman's and their three chinese daughters! Thank you that You know best no matter the outcome and help us to serve and praise you along the way. Your love, grace, and mercy are sufficient. I trust in You about this and about taking care of Sophie until You take us to her. I love you Lord! Amen

Thanks to everyone who sends up prayers for us, this grant opportunity, and expecially for our precious baby girl Sophie!!!!

We love you all,

Tammy
