all glory to God

Thank you! Everything in me says "Thank you!" Angels listen as I sing my thanks.
I kneel in worship facing your holy temple and say it again: "Thank you!"
Thank you for your love,
thank you for your faithfulness;
Most holy is your name,
most holy is your Word.
The moment I called out, you stepped in.

Psalm 138:1-3 (The message)

How can I ever thank you all enough for your help with what God laid on my heart?  The sacrificial outpouring of finances, the way you helped to spread the word, your prayers for sweet Yulia. All in only five days. I honestly just don't have the words.  I am moved, amazed and in awe of my God, and His people.

From the bottom of my heart..."Thank you".  Please know that I am so absolutely thankful for each one of you.  Thank you for opening your hearts to Yulia.  Thank you for sharing her story.  Thank you for giving and giving and giving.  And, of course, thank you for praying.  I wish I could e-mail you all individually and thank you personally.

Please continue to pray Yulia all the way home. Obviously time is so critical for her. Every day counts. We just don't know how much of it she has. The road ahead is not going to be easy for her, or her family. I will keep you posted on the family who God raises up.  As soon as I know who they are, I will let you know.  I can hardly wait to see them go and scoop her up and bring her home...where she belongs.

God of wonders, huh?  What a combined Body of Christ effort--all for His glory.

So much to share.  So much happening.  But for now, I seriously need some sleep. Talk about an emotional few days. If you're waiting for an e-mail from me, please just give me a few days, I'm trying hard to get on top of my overflowing inbox.  Oh yes, and the winner of the iPad--I'll announce that tomorrow too. 

I'll be back with a catch up post.

Love and huge hugs to all of you.  I appreciate you all so much.  You're amazing people of a Mighty God!

All glory to God in the highest.

Adeye,
I still know a few who would like to contribute to her fund. Is there away - through Reece's Rainbow, through you?

God is awesome and continues to move. I can't even begin to express my awe.

hi Adeye, I haven't commented for a while as I'm currently travelling overseas.

Thank you so much for advocating for Yulia! :} I am praying that our Saviour will guide her family to take her. I can't wait for her to blossom and experience joy like Hailee did with you all. :)

Yahweh bless you and keep you and your family safely in His way :)

God is still the God of miracles. Thank You for giving Him your YES! YES, you will care for the orphan in whatever ways HE calls. Bless You for not giving up on her. Praying for her Forever Family.
Blessings,

Oh my goodness - just been catching up on your blog again and how wonderful to read what has been achieved!! Incredible! Your words are so powerful - full of truth, faith and emotion. Again I feel so priviledged to be your friend! We would like to donate to Yulia's fund - anyway to do it. Sending loads of love to you and your family xx

hopeful one said...

AMAZED!!!! While I shouldnt be in my humaness sometimes I still put Gods ability through my own personal filter and my perception always falls short when I do. So thankful for His love and faithfulness despite our weakness! Yulia will have hope! Hope that last. Hope that is eternal. Thanks for being a tool in Gods hand Adeye and all those who contributed! It happened so quickly I didnt even get paid to be able to contribute!

Kristin Ferguson said...

Praise God! I can't say more than that!!!

annie said...

Praise Him. Praise Him. Praise Him!

I'm in the same boat with a few others, waiting on a paycheck to contribute... Will we be able to still (after the 1st)?

Stacey said...

We were all rejoicing last night, thanking GOD and all of His faithful servants. The Mountain has been moved!! He can do all things! GOD is GREAT! HE also gave more not just $20,000 but a little more to say "I AM"! Blessings to you for your faithful heart!

Laura Lee said...

It's been awesome following this rescue effort for Yulia! I do wonder why you stopped the donations at 20K. Won't it cost the family several more thousands than that to adopt her? Plus unforeseen medical expenses? Just curious.

Linnea said...

I stand in awe of you Jesus! I knew it would happen but this fast, God is so good. We will continue to pray for her family and her health. Thank you for making us all aware Adeye.

be blessed

I have been following your bog since I came across it on reece's rainbow. I am a mom to 11 kids. One of my close friends has a young son with a rare terminal illness. They need help in many ways. Please consider using the link to his story to share with your friends or on your blog if you are able. God Bless. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=154955814533667&ref=mf

Praise God!!!
Thank You Jesus for your abundance!

Anyone who would still want to give to a lifesaving change please look up Ethan (Wesley on Reece's Rainbow)
He is for the Malonefamily,
he needs to come home ASAP to have life saving surgary!
Be part of Ethan's hope.

Continuing to pray for Julia's family!

I am trying to raise funds for Dmitry. I can't adopt him myself, but I can try to help him find a forever family. He's blind and has been on RR for THREE YEARS. He will be sent to an institution soon if he isn't rescued. His 5th birthday is in Dec.
