"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure."
- John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day

RIGHT NOW, and then again tomorrow and then again the next day and on it goes day after day,
1/2 OF THE WORLD lives on LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS each day.

Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Do all you can and don't worry about the odds against you. Wield the miracle of life's energy, never worrying whether we fail, concerned only that whether we fail or succeed we do so with all our might. That's all we need to know to feel certain that all our force of diligent effort is worth our while on Earth.
Carl Safina, Voyage of the Turtle

Happy New Year----2009

Already some exciting news:

Please wish Congratulations to the following families for advancement in their adoption processes:

Sarah's family

L's family

Small town girl's family

Blessed's life family

Places you will go family

If I missed someone, please let me know.

and Mim is currently waiting for passports to be printed, and the O director made a prediction that she will be home late January/early February. According to Ve's process I am going to be a little more conservative and predict March/April for Mim's homecoming...


So it is starting out to be a busy year and it is only the first day, hopefully since 2009 is coming in strong, it will quiet down later in the year!!!

Wow!!! I didn't realize you were that close to bringing Mim home...even your more conservative prediction. That's great. Here's hoping for a speedier than expected completion of your family.

Marta said...

Yes, good news for lots of people! I say be ready at the end of January just in case. M has been spot on with some of these calls lately.

Jenn said...

Can't wait until your family is complete!

It won't be long and you'll have all three of your beauties home. Such exciting days ahead.

I was thrilled for you when I read M's prediction of Mim's homecoming. Whenever it is, it's going to be here soon. Congrats!!!!
