Linny at A Place Called Simplicity has issued an incredible Crazy Love Prayer Challenge... she is calling us to ban together in fasting and prayer on Weds. September 8th, on behalf of orphans and families trying to bring their little ones home! This is indeed ordained by God I am sure! My heart is touched and I feel the Lord pouring into me fresh oil just at the thought of so many of us coming together in Jesus' Name, for a time of prayer and fasting on behalf of my beloved Isabella Faith and all the little ones around the world who are orphaned, on behalf of the families trying to get their children home... May this be a day of victory for the Kingdom of God. May this be a time when people from every nation, join together under the banner of Christ Jesus and lift up each and every child who has been orphaned. May Jesus bind and rebuke the enemy! May walls come tumbling down! May mountains be removed and cast into the sea! May red tape, bureaucracies, lack of finances, what ever the obstacle standing between a child and their family may be... may Jesus speak the word and remove what ever stands in the way and bring our children home... To God be the glory!
Please consider joining me in this commitment to fast and pray on behalf of our Isabella Faith trying to come home.
That the Lord will provide the funds needed for our adoption.
That He will open the doors for my little Pearl to come home, that there would not be any more delays... but ultimately that she will come home in His perfect timing....
Please pray that she is safe and well, that she is loved and cared for and that she knows Jesus is with her. That the Lord is guarding her heart, her mind, her body and her soul and that she knows we love her and that I am coming for her as soon as I can.
We will be fasting and praying for each of the 147 million orphans around the world... for their families that are trying to get them home....
Thank you so much for all of your prayers, your encouragement and your help... for being a part of our daughter's life story...
If you are in the process of adopting and need prayer also, link up with the rest of us and join in on this day of Victory in the Lord....
God's speed...
Here's the rules:
1. You must be in the midst of an adoption or starting the process.
2. You must write a post explaining the prayer need.
3. You must mention this Crazy Love Prayer Challenge in the post.
4. You cannot link an old post, it must be fresh.
5. You must link with a permalink, which is explained in this post. If you don't link with a permalink, I will be forced to delete it and I really, really don't want to have to do that.
So here's the challenge:
Will you pray with me for the orphans trying to get home?
Will you fast with me as well?
Please join me and all the others on

One of the most wonderful things about a journey of faith is that it is bigger than you.... it is beyond you.... it is something you simply cannot do.... and this is a good thing because as others watch the hand of God move.... they too realize that it is a "God" thing and God receives the glory! Just as it should be.... We cannot bring our daughter home, but God can. He is the One who led us to her in China. He is the One Who is holding her in His loving arms, watching over her and He is the One who is and will provide the funds needed to bring her home to her family. I say, "Thank You Jesus! And to God be the glory!" I don't know how He is going to do it... but I know that He will! We have already decided that I will travel alone to China to bring our little one home. Even if we end up having the money for Jeremy to travel or our Nicholas and Hannah to travel too.... well, we just don't feel right about it. We know I am to go and bring Isabella home... the rest of God's provisions will be for the mission field. We have been fundraising, and are so thankful for we have sold 1,252 Orphaned No More for Isabella bracelets... (THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!) we still need to sell another 1,748 to meet our 3,000 bracelet campaign if that is how the Lord chooses to continue to provide. Please come visit our Orphaned No More site, there are many lovely bracelets and each one ordered brings a little child one step closer to her Mama's arms...
Thank you all and may God bless you....
God's speed to all the little ones as the Lord leads them home...
"Thank you everyone for your prayers, encouragement and sacrifices for our Isabella and for us. You have blessed us more than you will ever know. Lifting you all up in prayer for the Lord's perfect will in your life.
God bless you,"

Praying that God will bring your Isabella Faith home soon and that He would protect and provide for her while she waits.
Praying that your sweet girlie comes home soon without any extra delays and the funds will be available when you need them.
Came over from A Place Called Simplicity. I am fasting & praying for you & Isabella Faith today.
Your Isabella is a treasure and we thank the Lord for His provision, His expediting the process and His protection over her...fasting and praying with you...He who has promised is faithful!
joining in and praying for you.
Praying and fasting for you today! We bought several of your bracelets a while back and now I am honored to stand with you today as adoptive moms and sisters in Christ. Father, Please break down the doors that stand between this family and sweet Isabella. May your glory shine as their funds come through in a way that only you could deliver. Eph 3:20
Fasting and praying for you and your sweet little one!
Agreeing with you in prayer!

In Christ,

Standing in the gap for you today through prayer and fasting!
Daleea - I just missed this and am now seeing it on several friends' blogs. :( The enemy was at work last Thursday as lightning struck our house hitting several things including my computer. UGH!..just as we were waiting on PA for Kaleb and received it this week. So, the battle begins once again. Isabella is beautiful and I know that as we walk this road to our children, HE will provide. We, too, have no idea how, but we walk in faith to them and the Lord will receive ALL the glory! Thank you for once again reminding me of that. HUGS and praying our children home!
Yes, yes to everything you prayed in your prayer! May our prayers and cries be heard and may our Heavenly Father answer them, bringing the orphans to their families. Remove all obstacles Dear Father! I will continue to pray with you for Isabella Faith (lovely name for a beautiful little girl). God bless you!
