"You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness, that my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever."
This is Esther. Yes, she is as adorable as she looks. She was recently adopted by some friends of mine in the States from Africa. Their hearts are filled with joy over her arrival and addition to their family. However, 5 years ago their and their older son's hearts were crushed with grief as they buried their 16 month old son and baby brother , who died awaiting a heart transplant.Such pain! Such heartache! So many questions. Yet,through that terribly hard time , so many were touched by their son's life and death. People came to believe Jesus died for them and today they will tell you that God is good and through it all God has been faithful to them. Today they will even tell you God had a plan all along. Today you might even find them dancing! Thank You Lord

I am so glad you stopped by my blog today!!
I just joined Live Well a couple of weeks back, every lady is such an encouragement. I'm one of those that stuggles. At one time I lost 68lb through exercise and portion control...my treadmill broke and 40 lb have crept back on. I'm hoping to stem the time...sigh!!
Esther looks so sweet! My daughter is in the process of a Haitian adoption. It is a long expensive process, but well worth it in the end. My sister adopted a wee girl from China and she has been a great blessing to our family!
Come back and see me any time!☺
