PRAYER!!!!

No, we have not gone back to the hospital! (YAY)

At the church I attend (not where Papa Bear preaches) there is going to be a HUGE youth event this coming weekend (October 24-25).

There are going to be youth from multiple provinces some of whom who have never heard about who Jesus is and others who will be challenged to have a relationship with Jesus for the first time.

This is where the prayer comes in, we need people from all over the world to pray for these youth and the leaders that will be working with them.

Please pray that:

~ The youth will experience who Jesus is

~ The leaders and speakers will know how to answer the youth's questions

~That even after the event the youth will choose to live for Jesus in a tangible way

Please leave in the comments below what country you are from as there will be a large map at the event that shows the youth all the countries that will be praying for them. If you know anyone in another country than your own that can pray for this event please tell us in the comments!

It's our goal to have as many countries as possible praying for these youth!

Let's show these youth that there are brothers and sisters in Christ all over the world that care for and love them!

God Bless,

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

This Thanksgiving there has been a common theme of thankfulness in our home. 

A thankfulness for God, Family and Friends!

It is a beautiful thing to have the kids home with us and our family together for almost five months now. Having them sooo thankful for having a family and friends is awesome.

Most of all we are thankful that they are willing and excited about claiming God as their very own!

 

To look at their sugar induced smiles today is enough to make you believe in the miracle of Family all over again. 

It is amazing that God is so full of love and grace that He would use us as a part of his plan. Even when we fail half the time He is always willing to give us a second chance. He has given us soo much to be thankful for!!!!

This thanksgiving I also want to say a big THANK YOU to every body who has helped us in our journey to become a family that is that little bit bigger!!!

Thanks and GOD Bless!!!!

Teeth

This week we all managed to make our way to the dentist. Everyone was brave and opened their mouths wide on cue!

Apart from Princess who had to have a filling within days of coming home due to pain this was their first appointment.

Both Warrior and Princess had x-rays. Treasure's mouth was too small for the piece that goes in the mouth, and Buttons is just too small full stop.

After a good cleaning and polish it was deemed that Warrior and Princess have pretty good teeth requiring only a filling or two.

Buttons has awesome teeth not needing any further treatment at this time.

Unfortunately Treasure has a different story.

She has so many rotten, rotting, and rotted back teeth I don't know how she sleeps at night. She hardly ever complains about tooth ache but refuses to brush back there. I guess she still has some pain indicating they are not all dead yet.

There is evidence that something damaged her teeth enamel when they were developing around the age of two. Unfortunately she has to pay the price now.

We are waiting for a visit to the Pediatric Dentist. We don't know exactly what they may need to do to repair the damage. But at least now the process has been started.

Cards

 

 

 

Finally our children are receiving the health care they need!

This is not because we don't care about their needs. Or because Canada doesn't care about their children.

But because it has taken this long to receive the required status in Canada.

Once our adoptions were approved we brought the children home on Visitors Visas. We have had to wait for Canadian Immigration to finish processing their Permanent Residence Applications. 

This having been received in August we made a mad dash to the U.S.A boarder crossing to activate their Permanent Residence Numbers.

After that we were finally able to apply for provincial health care!

Now that we have their health cards we can begin the endless medical examinations, specialist visits, dental care, and  eye exams.

Let the fun begin!!!

My Dad

Today I received a phone call from New Zealand to say that my Dad had a stroke in his sleep this past week. It is times like this that I realise just how far Canada is away from New Zealand!


Thankfully he is up and mobile and is functioning well mentally.


The stoke affected mainly one side and he is having difficulty with that arm and hand.


Please join me in prayer for his recovery and improved health.


May God show him a miracle!
