The reason for all this...is LOVE...First:To love GOD with all my heart,soul,mind and strength...Second...To love all people..as ourselves...The love I long for in FLorida...Love for my husband,Michael,Sandra...Love for my family...My mom,and the list could go on..I have to focus on the final goal of this adventure..and when I do..I gain strength and encouragement...If I walk what I believe it tells me to "Do all things without grumbling or questioning." I could also say all day "I love you" but again I read.." Let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth." To give up our life for another...So what is a few months of MY LIFE.. for a child. I have to think about,, What if my mom had not adopted me??? What if we hadnt adopted Michael?? This is what we are suppose to do..and we just have to hang on awhile longer.."Whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them".."Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things"..We will survive..Emotions like to make you think sometimes that you might not..But that is where you have to pull up your faith..and know that all will be OK..As long as we continue to trust in the one who sent us...and WE DO...
I just took a break to check my e-mails and I recieved an e-mail saying that another boy from the orphanage that we met Sandra in just got word that he is going home to Kansas on Monday with his new family..His adoption and US papers are done..I just gave Sandra the news and the smile on her face was priceless...How can we let discouragement get us down...We will be next for this wonderful news..and from the expression I just saw...It is going to be an amazing day...Thank You GOD for giving us a glimpse of what is to come..
Please remember Carlos Galaviz in your prayers..He is a good friend,and our translator...He is some better today..The doctors who did his first brain tumor surgery were Americans from Colorado. He is going to give me the contact info tomorrow night and we are praying that they will be able to help him again..

Hello it's me Hap, I'm sorry I did'nt take the news of more weeks very well.I think,no,I know I want my family home.My first thought's were wild,Is my family ever coming home,how long is my wife going to suffer, all kinds of things went through my head.After crying for awhile I started praying.God asked me if I wanted to change his plans,if they aren't good enough for me.Boy did I feel stupid,Yes lord,I will follow you.I'm sorry for my weakness,let me lean on you.Not only is your plan perfect I'm proud just to be part of it.Lord help us to fight the evil one's advances on our weak minds.Break the outer crust of our body's and let your spirit shine through.Stay strong my wife,in his love Hap
