How thankful we are for God's Mercy in bringing Princess Mercy into our family through adoption and for His tender Mercy in allowing winter to fade into a blue sky spring day.
Hi Kimmie, I thought you might be interested in this. My second roommate at Cono was Addis Alem Wolde, an ethiopian girl with quite an amazing story. I absolutely loved rooming with her and hearing all her stories. She has such a positive outlook on life and loves God with all of her heart. It would take to long to explain it all in a comment so I included links to some websites explaining her story and her father's story. I hope you will take the time to read them. I just thought you of all people would find it worth the time. thanks, ~Annie~
I love her hair puffs! We used to part Bella's in half from front to back, then do three puffs on each side. When she did something extra smart she was "thinking with her six pack!"
Thanks for posting the adorable pix of her dress--it was so satisfying to see it on her lovely self!
I, too - have a princess Mercy. she's 4.(homegrown) and she's got a younger brother and we're finishing up our certification process for fost/adopt in a few months! we are jumping in!
see your comments a lot on pleasant view schoolhouse and your tagline intrigued me. blessings to you and yours.
I'm sure your prayer for Mercy is the same as mine is for my sweet Mercy... that her heart would fill with the compassion of Christ... and the wisdom to match it!
My hearts desire is to live out loud, a life that reflects Jesus. Join me through word and picture
on this journey called my life. I am the Mama to 8 children, one homemade and 7 adopted, married to my handsome Knight and daily following hard after Jesus. Hope you will consider me your friend.
