Faith...Believing and knowing God will!!!!

I am almost speechless at this point-----But I can't be because God has provided and I must share!!!  We are fully funded for "V"!!!  As May 1st was approaching, it has caused me to pray without ceasing today.  We knew that God would provide in His timing and not ours.  When we were ready to start doubting, God once again showed up (at 9:03 tonight to be exact--well actually all the time)!!!  Our hearts are full of praise to our Heavenly Father.  We are still amazed of the people that have donated and prayed for us during this time.  We stepped out in Faith once again and God carried us all the way through.  We still don't know what will happen once after hosting but what we do know is that God provided for "V" to be loved on for the summer weeks.  Thank you to everyone that has donated and prayed for us during this time.  Please continue to pray for our family and whatever the future holds.  We give God all glory and praise for paving the way and for allowing you all to join us on this journey.  Thank You!  Thank You!

Sweet Reminder!!

 

 

This is just a sweet reminder that in 2 months a sweet little girl will be coming to visit with us and we will be able to love on her while she is here!!!

We are on our last few days to raise the remaining funds.  If you would like to donate to help us become fully funded please donate to www.heartforhosting.org.  Please make sure that it says for Kirk and Sherrie Albritton hosting "V".

 

 

Words are not good enough!!!

Thank you to everyone that has been donating for "V" this summer!  You are making a difference in the life of this little one!  We only need $950.00!!!  Yipeeeeeeee!!!!!!  God funds what He favors!!!  James 1:27

Deadlines! Deadlines!

We found out today that our final payment to host "V" is due by May 1st!!!!  Oh my!!! Oh my!!!  We know that our God can do anything and we know that He will.  If you have been praying about how you can help us in hosting "V"...here is away!!!!  We are still in need of $1,700!!!  This fee includes her visa, passport and plane tickets.  If you would like to make a tax deductible donation please make it to www.heartforhosting.com  make sure that our names Kirk and Sherrie Albritton are on it.  We THANK YOU ahead of time!!!!

Summer will be here soon!!!

We almost can't wait to meet "V"--July seems so long from now but guess what?   It is just around the corner!!! Yikes!!!!  We have a small amount of paperwork to do and get ready to turn in for her to come.  We also are so thrilled about how God is paving the way for her visiting.  So many of you have asked about how you can help us.  First and foremost please pray for our family as this transition is made in our life and pray for our children as they share their mom and dad.  Secondly, we still need to raise $2,000.00 in order to complete the financial obligation to bring "V" here for the summer.  We also know that our God can do anything!!!  We are so glad that God is allowing you to be on this journey with us.

Roller Coaster of a ride!!!

Well...we can already feel the ups and downs of hosting, it reminds us a lot of our adoption.  As I posted earlier, God has His plan for our family even if we don't understand.  After spending the last two days talking with the hosting agency and finding out more information about "D" it has been brought to our attention that she is not able to be hosted.  Yes, it has saddened our hearts but God has placed another little girl in her place.  We feel that God may have used "D" just to see if we would be obedient to His calling.  We know that God opened our hearts to hosting and we are going to continue this journey with Him.  I can remember 4 years ago when we went to Ukraine to adopt what we thought was a 4 year old little boy and when we arrived he had already been adopted. Yes, we were crushed but we knew God had a bigger and better plan for our life than just as we know He does now.  Some of you have already stepped up to the calling of our hosting needs and we Thank You from the bottom of hearts.  We have had many sweet calls and text in the past 24 hours.  Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!  At this time we are only 2,200 away from reaching our goal!!!  We need to raise 300.00 of that in the next 24 hours.  I am including the link if God leads you to give www.heartforhosting.com. ( it is tax deductible please put our name on it) Please continue to pray for us and with us  as God leads us on this journey.

It's A Girl!!!!

I know its been many, many months since I blogged.....ok at least a year!!!!  As a family we wanted everyone to know what God is doing!!!!!  Have you tried to tell God your plans or tell God how to plan your life for you?  I am sure that we all are guilty of this.  Sometimes we even try to give God certain things we want and the way we want it.  We also do it in a way that we think God can't handle it.  Boy, do we have it all wrong at times.  We are so HAPPY that God has it all right all the time and we just have to be obedient and just listen to Him. 
Today we accepted to host a little 6 year old girl from Ukraine.  We will call her "D" from hear on out.  We will get "D" the first of July and she will go back to Ukraine the middle of August.  We are not sure what God has in store for our family right now but what we do know is that we are to accept this call and once again we are living out James 1:27.  We ask that you pray with us and for us during this time in the life of our family.  The cost to host "D" is $2,900.00 and another $300.00 or so to obtain paperwork fees and updates from our last adoption.  If God leads you to help fund "D's" hosting please do so.  You can give directly to www.heartforhosting.org in our name.  The agency will keep us posted when fees are donated and you will be able to stay up to date by staying tune to our blog.  All donations are tax deductible.  Here is a picture of "D" so you can be praying with us!
