Nadya's New Family!

I am so excited to see how the Lord has answered my prayers for Nadya. I prayed specifically that she would get to be a part of a Christian family. I want her to know the love of an earthly family--but even more so to know the love of her Heavenly Father. The Lord has given her exactly what I asked for--a family who loves the Lord Jesus. Not to mention how much fun Nadya is going to have with 12 brothers and sisters. I do not remember if I prayed that she would get siblings...but the Lord's plans for her are even greater than I could have imagined! She is one very much loved little girl with fourteen other family members.

Hop on over to Nadya's blog to read more about her forever family. Please pray for Nadya's parents as they begin their journey to bring their daughter home! Please continue to pray for Nadya...that she would remain healthy, safe,and that she would receive love from her caregivers while she waits for her family. I wonder if she knows they are coming for her? I would love to see a smile on her beautiful little face.

If you have not already, go to www.reecesrainbow.com and become a prayer warrior. You will be matched up with one (or two) children who need your prayers. You have only to look at Nadya to see how the Lord delights in answering prayer...and He even cares about the details.

Please pray for three absolutely GORGEOUS little girls and one super CUTE baby boy!

CHRISSIE

This beautiful little princess has been in the hospital for several weeks since having heart surgery. She actually died twice and is a living miracle...but she is not "out of the woods" so to speak, YET...everytime she has had a setback, this little miracle girl pulls through. This is one of the most amazing stories I have ever read. Her family is BELIEVING for a MIRACLE. Will you join them and pray for Chrissie?

ELLA GRACE

This precious little girl is sure to make you smile. She is just sooo cute! Sweet Ella was diagnosed with leukemia a few days ago. Please pray for Ella and her family.

HOPE

This is one BEAUTIFUL little girl. She has a rare heart problem...in fact, she is the only child known to have this condition. The doctors need wisdom to know how to proceed...and Hope needs a MIRACLE. This family just got one miracle...I know I said Chrissie's story was amazing, but the story of how Hope's sister Lydia raised all the money needed for the adoption of a little baby girl, Darya has inspired me not to let money stand in the way of serving the Lord. He can and does provide...often above and beyond what we expect. Now Hope and Lydia's family are not actually the ones adopting Darya, but thanks to Lydia, Darya's new family has the money they need to complete the adoption. Please pray for healing for precious Hope

CHARLIE

Is this not one of the most BEAUTIFUL, or should I say HANDSOME babies you have ever seen? Cute little Charlie is having open heart surgery on May 21st...just a couple weeks away. Charlie's mommy has posted some specific prayer requests for Charlie on their blog. Please pray that the surgery goes well, and for quick recovery for Charlie, as well as God's peace for this family.

Nadya Update

Guess who has a forever family? If you guessed Nadya, you would be correct. I cannot share any details yet, but please be praying for both her and her new family. I will update when I know more.

Please Pray for Nadya

Some of you may remember me posting about Nadya. Reece's Rainbow has a prayer warrior ministry. I was matched with two children to pray for. Little Jacob Paul found his forever family about a year ago...and Nadya is still waiting for hers. I just found out today that she may not have to wait much longer. There is a family considering this precious little girl! I cannot share anything else right now...but please pray for her and for this family. Here are a couple pictures of Nadya.

When I first committed to pray for Nadya, this is the picture that they sent me--well actually this is a touched-up version. In the picture I received her outfit and fingers were both dirty. Nadya was living in an institution at the time. Doesn't she look sad?



However, the Lord had a special plan for this beautiful little girl! Shortly after I began praying for her, Nadya was transferred out of the institution and into a home where they work with the girls and they get somewhat of an education. New pictures were published to the Reece's Rainbow site, which showed her smiling and happy. Look at what a difference a loving environment has made:
