Sparrow

"Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. "
Luke 12:6-7

I am so thrilled to meet my Sparrow today!
She is 15 months old and has 6 teeth, but she is a tiny thing! Very petite!


Psalm 84:3
"Even the sparrow has found a home..."

I am absolutely thrilled for you Grace!
My husband and I leave for Ethiopia tomorrow to pick up our daughter. Although we thought the wait was unbearable at times, we can hardly believe the time is here. God is good.
I will be praying for you as you begin a new wait...but one that is so worth it.

Now get out and do some shopping for your precious sparrow! :)

Oh, a 15 month old, how fun is that!!!

Our four year olds are very "petite", too, just makes them much easier to snuggle.

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!
