15 Months & God Moves the Mountain

It happened, sweet friends, it happened!!!

Almighty God, maker of Heaven and Earth, saw the fasting, He heard the prayers and He moved!

James and Cheremi have been granted adoption
of
Ezekiel and Kaysia!!


I talked to Cheremi a couple of hours ago and she said she saw the hand of God {literally} move the Judge. Cheremi acknowledges that ONLY God moved that Judge!

Only.God.

It is a miracle! James and Cheremi persevered!

People around the world prayed.

People around the world fasted.

God heard the cries.

He saw the fasting.

Why did He move?

Because God's heart is for the orphan and He will not allow anything to stop an orphan from coming home....

Governments,
paperwork,
officials,
agencies,
bureaucracies,
red tape,
obstinate Judges,
uncooperative authorities,
finances
and every power on Earth
STILL
bow to the matchless name of

our

Miracle-working,

Mountain-moving,

Awe-inspiring,

Gasp-giving God...

Can anyone else shout Yippee Jesus?

He alone is worthy of praise....

and on behalf of James and Cheremi,

Thank you from the bottom of all hearts involved....

Cheremi, Kaysia and Ezekiel will be home in Canada in probably the next week
and we, personally, are going to throw a giant celebration in their honor!

  56. that's awesome news!!! praise YHWH! :) :) He is so good! :)

    p.s. I went to see my regular dr for a follow up on my colonoscopy... while the dr who actually did the colonoscopy, Dr S, said that everything is ok with me, I kept asking if there's any minor things that needs looking into it, but he said no... so anyway, he said to see my regular dr, so I did a few days ago... she basically said the same thing what Dr S said, everything's fine, but I looked over her shoulder to read Dr S' report on her computer, and noticed this sentence which he wrote (which he and my dr for some reason, chose not to inform me) "she does have a tortorous colon" so I asked my regular dr what does that mean? she said it means my colon is not normal like others, it's more twisted in many places, and because of the twists, it's longer than normal... I think it is our Saviour guiding my eyes to see what I needed to see... so that I may be aware of the unusual formation of my colon and care of it better by drinking more water, eat more fibre, etc. Praise YHWH. Thank you, Linny, for encouraging us to check if something's not wrong. :)

  78. I knew it would happen. : ) I knew we did not need to beg, but only pray (and fasting is great too) believing. God has whispered to me that we really never have to worry about anything, and so I knew that He would grant this request. He is so good. Praise the Lord!
