Bravo!! That was a trip to watch!
Am I not remembering an older post, or did you just decide to share your babes' names with us?!
They are great names, very strong and pretty....
Oh Em, your post just made me weep for your babies! This is the first time I have prayed for them by name. I know that God's hands are upon them. He is so good to bring them to your family...the message of Christmas is surely already being stamped upon their little hearts.
I totally remember that song!
Sweet... I hope your Addie is as spunky as mine... but prepare youself.
Hey... did you get my e-mail today?
Is that the "feed the world" song that comes on the radio all the time?? Next Christmas you'll be snuggled up with your babies!
Next time...I'll have to listen the song with eyes closed. I kept laughing at the hair and clothes watching the video:)
Ugh. I'm sitting in the airport crying over my blackberry. The Lord our God is with them. He is mighty to save. He quiets them with his love, He rejoices over them with singing. Love you!
Oh, I feel your mama-heart, Emily! That song has had a fresh meaning for me this year, too, but I have the luxury of having our Ray Ray HOME with us... I hate that you are still waiting. Know that I am praying for safety and warm love from a special surrogate for precious Addy & Seth until YOU can hold them in your arms. No matter what, they are in the LORD'S arms right now, and He loves them immeasurably! What JOY is just around the bend for you, Emily... All Heaven will rejoice! Stay encouraged, my friend. He is WITH you!
God knows every hair on their head...every memory, every day, every minute, He is preparing them for you guys...and preparing you guys for them.
I love you!
this was so sweet to read! I cant imagine the feeling of waiting like you are, but I do know that God is faithful!! Love you and cant wait to meet them :)
I hear and sing along to that song all the time, but I have honestly never actualy listened to the words and payed it much attention...but man, I do now. Tears are just streaming down my face as think of not only my sweet Malak but also all of the other millions of children in Ethiopia who don't have families waiting for them...it truly breaks my heart and I just wish I knew what else I am supposed to do to help them!
as always you give my spirit something to think about and will begin praying for sweet Seth/Addie by name ... I am not feeling in the Christmas spirit this year as I think on all the children in the world in need of love ... I will have to rest in knowing God watches over them ...
Merry Christmas to your sweet family!
Emily,
I wanted to let you know that I am praying for you this week(meaning the week of Christmas, that is around the corner) I know it will be a wonderful Christmas, but I know because we feel it too that it is not quite complete w/o our kids. You have become such a dear friend even though we have never met. I know our God hears our prayers and will in His sovereignty answer them.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I guess I was really behind because I had no idea that you have names! Seth and Addison! I LOVE those names!
The video was great, it was really sweet. I just love Bono.
I hope ours kids can comfort each other when they go to HH....
Jamie
I love Seth and Addie!! I don't think I realized you had picked out names yet...maybe you just now shared them with the blogging world!!
It is very emotional to think about where our children are right now, and how/if they are being taken care of. Not only our children though...but, everyone! Such an emotional time of year. I'm hoping you get your referral tomorrow! It seems like it should be any day now!
emily,
i don't know if you remember me or not, but i worked for moody in high school. i saw your blog on kate's blog, and was so excited to see what you are up to. your kids are beautiful... i think the last time i saw you hill was just a baby. i have a picture of him and i when i babysat one night. i guess he was about 9 or 10 months old. please tell moody and dr. a i said hi, and i am so excited to keep up your adoption endeavor. i think it is just awesome!
I loved getting to talk to you tonight! How cool is it that God ordained for us to know one another in 2007. I'm thankful!
You are precious!
So excited to watch this journey unfold for your family. I'm excited about Seth and Addie. Praying with you in the wait.

wow! i just LOVE that our sweet Saviour enjoys "details" It is truly all the little details along the way that makeup YOUR story. What a fun trip for your family! I'm so proud of you for talking to your kids about the details, because their faith walk will be strengthened by them (so will yours!)praying for your referral, the Lord has hand picked em!!!
happy new year!
