Let the Count Down Begin!

Well, sorta .... nothing has changed regarding my body being ready for Jeremy's arrival during our visit today - so we set an induction date for next week ... we will go in on January 6th at 6:30 pm and begin the induction ar 7am on the 7th. After a full 40 weeks, we will finally get to meet this little man ... Jeremiah Parker!

I hope the outfits we have prepared for him will fit, the guess is about 7lbs .... but we will know soon enough. Not sure what emotions will surface over the next week, but I do know that I can lean on God and HE will be right there with Aaron and I ... along with our wonderful Prayer Warriors!

Thank you all for continued prayers - and if things begin to happen on their own, we will be sure to let everyone know! :)

GRACE AND PEACE!

Responding to a Whisper

Aaron & I are excited to announce that our family has expanded! We have been blessed to adopt a baby. (From the Indianapolis Area) The Lord moved QUICK, we brought our son home from the hospital April 1, 2011. And the fund-raising continues! It is our desire to help support others planning to adopt and various missions.

To use my passion to create,we continue to sell a special Double Blessing Bracelet, 2 for 15$. Each bracelet will be made using loose beads from BeadforLife, which supports women in Uganda.

We will be selling these online, word of mouth, and local shops. We have added a BUY NOW button so you can purchase from this site.

Also, we have added a button to collect donations, if you feel called in that manor. Please click the DONATE button. Or send an email and we can provide an address to mail a check.

Finally, please pray!

TRI-BE

TRI BE
Battle. Breathe. Believe.

Across the globe, there's a forgotten and lost tribe of people. They're the children and families of children who have Trisomy 13 and 18. Their children have been given a death sentence. This tribe is hurt and mostly alone, waking up to face death and the fear of death.

For those in this tribe, they learn not to live in the past or the future, but in the now. They learn how to be. They must be. Their motto can be summed up in 3 "B" words: (tri be). Battle. Breathe. Believe

Battle - against pain, fear, death, against the very cells in a body. Against anger. Against ignorance.

Breathe - trisomy babies are supposed to forget how to breathe and die. As a parent, yo never take a breath for granted. And as a parent, you learn to just breathe. You keep thinking you can do something - you can't. I fact, you can do nothing. So, as Robbie Seay the singer says : breathe out and breathe again / know that life is hard, but it's worth breathing.

Believe - is all we can do and the best we can do. Believe that life is precious. Believe that today is a gift. Believe that there is eternal life for the redeemed. Believe that I have a Savior friend who will see me through this. Believe that there is strength in Him.
