Pray for Mary

Would you commit to praying for Mary and our adoption every day for the next seven days? We're  worried about Mary's health and we're really feeling the distance that is between us and this sweet girl. About a month ago, Mary came down with some illness that has been very difficult for her to fight off. Our friend, Alex, has been doing his best to care for her and get her to medical clinics. Unfortunately, the illness has really affected her little body, so much so that we barely recognized her in the photos we received today. It's heart breaking because there is nothing we can do from thousands of miles away. Our complete trust is in the Lord who holds her and has brought her this far. Please pray that she will bounce back from this illness. Pray also that the last few details of the adoption will progress so that we can bring her home. We are so close!

With much love,
