And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
--Mark 11:22-24
At approximately 2:30 p.m. Irkustk time, our prayers were answered; we became the parents of a bouncing (running, jumping, and talking) baby boy, HARRY OSCAR HOLMES III.
We are taking the nite off to give thanks, gather our thoughts, and prepare for this new chapter in our lives. We have much to say, but, right now, we need to just reflect as a family. Tomorrow we shall celebrate!
YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! The Lord has TRULY moved a tremendous mountain! Thank You, Father!

ReplyDeleteHAPPIER NEWS I HAVE NOT GOT IN A LONG LONG TIME... Probably not since Skip came home and became my brother...Thank god that this long process has been decided favorably, I am so happy that your seemingly endless period of never-ending paperwork, sleepless nights, and stressful uncertainty, has finally been resolved in such a joyous way. Another brother is indeed wonderful news. You have certainly earned this amazing moment, enjoy!!!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! Persistance (and prayer) pays off! Hopefully you've worn down or softened this judge so she doesn't put anyone else through this.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!! Thank you, Father! We'll be praying for your safe return home. And, we look forward to meeting your new son! We are so happy for all of you. I had tears in my eyes this morning when I saw "It's A Boy!".
