AAAAHHHH !! WE'RE PINK !!!!!

Merry Christmas BABY!!!

Our pink slip has arrived this afternoon via email. We will arrive in Guatemala on Wednesday, Dec. 19th, our appointment with the US Embassy is on Thursday, the 20th (She'll be 13 months old exactly!), we will obtain her visa on Friday, the 21st, and fly back to Birmingham on Saturday the 22nd - just in time for Christmas!!!

We are so excited, shocked, and I am physically ill. Please pray for me. My nerves and my stomach are in knots!!!

I have so much to do, packing, and praying, and preparing, and praying, and celebrating and praying some more!!! Praise be to our God who can get babies home for Christmas!!!

We would like to invite our friends and family who desire to "see us home" to join us at the Birmingham airport when we land on Saturday. We are scheduled to arrive in Birmingham via Continental Airlines at 3:09 p.m.

God's richest blessings to you and your's,
Lori - a very happy, but nervous Momma - I sure hope she likes us! :O)

Welcome To Home For HIM!

Welcome to my BLOG SPOT! This is intended to be a forum for me to write. I've always enjoyed writing, always wanted to write, and this is my opportunity. Those who know me know that I am somewhat opinionated and don't have a hard time expressing that, so this is what you will find here, read at your own risk : ) . NEVER substitute my thoughts for your own, or take my word for anything. (Acts 17:11)

My hearts desire is to love the Lord my God with all my heart, soul, mind and strength, and my neighbor as myself. I pray that as I write my words and my thoughts will be acceptable in His sight, and an encouragment to your heart! Here you will find news about me, my family, my friends and my God. I am a woman at home, in obedience to Titus 2:5, and I am at HOME FOR HIM!
