Back on Waiting List

Mike and I have been so blessed by our community of friends as we have grieved the loss of Samuel. Thank you so much. We continue to grieve even while we trust God for what is next. He has given us peace about going back on the wait lists. So, we are now in the #1 positions on the boy and the sibling lists. They have a huge waiting list for girls and few for boys and we have been preparing for a boy so we felt good about not going back on the girl list. We have added a few other stipulations that could slow down the referral process but it seems likely that we could receive a referral by the end of the month. We shall see. Please continue to pray with us for Samuels well being and for God's will in our family.

We are No. 6 on the boy list and 23 on the girls.

Praying for you.

Abbott Family Verse 2011

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." "Ah, Sovereign Lord," I said, "I do not know how to speak; I am only a child." But the Lord said to me, "Do not say, 'I am only a child.' You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you, " declares the Lord. Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, "Now, I have put my words in your mouth. See, today I apoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant." Jeremiah 1:5-10

Abbott Family Verse 2010

If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own intersts, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, bing in ver nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but make himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death - even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the hightest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:1-11
