So many things happen for the good of those who LOVE GOD. The GOD the bible refers to as the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Jewish one! There are so many gods out there today, but this GOD says there is only ONE GOD and it is HE the creator of ALL living things. It is interesting that the word "LIVING" might get over looked here, but it means something unique. We are dead, even though we are breathing, unless we are counted amongst the kind of living that GOD is talking about. He told Nicodemus in John 3:1-21 Y'shua/Jesus says:“I tell you the solemn truth, unless a person is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Because of HIM!
Psalm 126:3
The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with JOY.Psalm 16:11
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

The summer of 2012
4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter his mother’s womb and be born a second time, can he?”
5 Y'shua answered, “I tell you the solemn truth, unless a person is born of water and spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be BORN AGAIN.’
THEN you are COUNTED amongst the LIVING... GOD said!!!!
We have been living amongst the living as we breath "HIM" everyday. Not only sitting, chewing and pondering the wisdom of HIS words in the great history book of our world, called the bible, but amongst HIS creation that HE has graced us with right on our own land everyday!!! The beauty that we have been blessed to behold this summer has been beyond words to speak what it means to the soul!
Hope you have been glued to creation all Summer with great joy and excitement. You have had so many adventures and wonderful experiences and they will be treasures to you all of your days. I want to always remember this beauty of you and pray that these memories will not all fade! I capture them dear to my heart so dear as you are to me. I pray I pray PLEASE let me remember the look on your face when you saw each new bug, or that animal or that flower or that blackberry, or that bird nest and the list goes on and on of the things that you captured in the joy of your heart this season!!! The beauty of your heart my daughter HOPE has been my summer FULL. You have helped with joy do the daily chores of the farm and we made it a fun experience everyday!!! I couldn't have ask for a better season because I have spent it with my heart...you my precious Hope!

Outdoor Fun.....
Our Dear Sweet Hope! Life wouldn't be life without her...she is the highlight of our day all day long. She is so much fun! Her personality is really peaking now. She is a jokster. It doesn't help when I am trying to dress her or get her to stand still. She always used to work with me before, when I told her to help me.."what is mommy doing",..hold still,..help me. She always did great! Now everything is funny to her. On the flip side of that, I was warned about a possible "Latino" temper from another adoptive mom. I also get to see that side once in a while. THe little boy that I take care of during the day has brought out even more of that SIN nature in Hope...if she thinks that "Will" is violating her space...I have seen her make a face and then grab his arm for a pinch and squeeze. The first time I saw that, I was thinking, "who taught my angel that?!" At this point all kinds of new things are surfacing. We are having the time of lives, to say the least!!!!!!!
THese are just a few random photos. We have many more that we will put on the family blog link above. We got some great Zoo pictures this year....
March 14th UPDATE
We have arrived in Guatemala safely. We will be in the lobby at 8 AM to pick up our sweet baby Hope. I am not sure if I will get back to post tomorrow or not so I wanted to let you know that we arrived safely. It is a beautiful Hotel "Beautiful",
and very clean. Everyone is very very nice here. I was told that on the 9th floor there is free food and bottled water for those who are adopting...that is where we are right now. The guy who drove us from the airport to the Grand Tikal, our hotel, told us that it's owner is Jewish... oddly enough he has put the whole Torah..the first 5 books of the bible in hebrew and english up here in this adoption lounge. That is a very unexpected find needless to say.
We met a lady on our flight who lives here and gave us her phone number if we were to need anything at all. She owns a business here in Guatemala, only a few minutes from our Hotel. She gave us alot of information regarding things to see and places to shop.
Well stay tuned..it won't be long and you will find some pictures. Lots of love and good night... wish you were here MOM !!! XXXXOOOOO

November 2007 ..On An Old blog/ Hope was 46 days old here....
Today's Date: Jan. 25, 2009.....
I was checking my traffic widget below and saw that someone came onto my blog thru a site called: "Guatadoptbabyhope" and for a minute I thought: who has highjacked my blog or something...I checked it and it was an old blog that I had used for our fundraiser information. At the time, I kept Hope's current picture on there while we were doing the fundraisers. After that I started a timeline blog and did not go back to delete that blog...so it caught me by surprise...I HAD FORGOT ABOUT THAT BLOG!!!! But it is so cute and brings back those memories...so I want to post the link HERE so I can go back and view it. It is really perfect timing though because:
Hope's first "GOTCHA DAY" celebration is just around the corner....MARCH 15th...We are so excited! I can't believe that she has already been home for almost a year! Time has flown and so many things have happened that continue to FILL US UP with JOY over flowing! We love you our SWEET HOPE!
