Our Little Battle Leader!

Today, five weeks ago, we adopted our precious Elijah. We have had him since he was born and is a sibling to our other two children. Even though we have had him from birth and knew he was ours, there is something exciting about making it official through the courts that he is our son. The neat thing is the judge we had for his adoption is the same one we had when we adopted our older two children. He remembered us too! This Sunday in church we are finally able to dedicate him back to the Lord publicly and I am so excited. Our church is big and we have several people form our counties children services that attend there so we have to make sure not to break any of the rules of foster care and "advertisement", but that is okay with us. We don't mind waiting until it is official in the worlds eyes to dedicate him at church. Anyway, I wanted to officially introduce you to my youngest son Elijah Kincaid, our little Battle Leader for God!

Finally :)

Well I must confess that I am a bit excited for this weekends services at our church. Our pastor is going to talk about adoption and is going to interview a couple who has adopted three girls from China. I am so excited as adoption is so close to my heart. My husband and I started an orphan care ministry there about two years ago and we have wanted to talk about foster care and adoption during a service for a while. God is moving and we now have an opportunity. Our pastor is going to talk about both adopting children and being adopted into the Kingdom. I am so excited as I have been praying for this opportunity for many years now. My prayer is that the people will be ready to receive the message the Lord has for them not only on adopting children or helping orphans, but being adopted into His Kingdom and what that means for them. On a more personal note, I am also excited because all of the details have been worked out with our county and we have been in contact with our Lawyer. All the papers are signed and I am just waiting to hear back from her to get our court date so we can adopt our youngest son. She told me on the phone this past weekend that it would probably be the 3rd or 4th weekend in April, of course I am hoping for the 3rd. God is moving in my life so much lately I can't even stand it sometimes. He is so Awesome! Anyway, I just wanted to share a bit of what is going on here in my life. Have a blessed day!
