ON CLOUD NINE

I am not even sure where to begin... except praising God. We are in awe of the God we serve. There have been so many people praying for us over the last year :O) and especially over the last 48 hours.
I am going to pray over how exactly how to explain our story so that God receives ALL the glory but I know I can say today we sent in our LOI for a child that God indeed intended for our family. He was a little needle in a haystack and God move mountains and touched peoples hearts. He is a mighty God and I am honored to serve Him.
WOOHOO We have a SON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Proverbs 25:25 We received the "email" call at 2:04 am Eastern time zone that we were matched with our little man! WOOHOO

Oh friends! The tears of joy are flowing for you!!! God is indeed awesome, and you are blessed. It is miraculous how He intervenes in the lives of His children, and this is a promise we hold close to our hearts as we continue to wait. I was reading Wade and Alice's blog today and ran across the poem, "Wait," which you sent to them. I want you to know how it blessed me and encouraged me this afternoon. Please keep us posted. You remain in our prayers!

Love,
The Heinrichs

Jill,
I am so thrilled for you and your family! How meant to be is this?!? Wow---I am honored to have spoken with you and just to have a glimpse of who you are.

After I spoke with you that evening, I was so sad and told my husband that little boy should be with you because you are already his mama; you could just feel the love you have for him...words canot describe how happy I was to read the email with the subject "We have him". What an incredible circle of events...

Best to you and your beautiful family,
EriN P.
