Well, two weeks from today we find ourselves at the second month of waiting on a referral. I try not to dwell on it too much, but it is hard when you pass by her room twenty times a day. We long for Lydia to be with us and the funny thing is we do not even know what she looks like!
But God knows. "He knows every hair on our heads" and "Knew us before we were in our mother's womb". These and other Scriptures give me great comfort when the longing becomes overwhelming. I trust the Lord and His timing- it is my lack of patience that is the problem!
We have overcome the halfway mark in raising funds for Lydia! Woo-Hoo!! We now have 9,700.00 to complete her adoption. Words cannot express enough how much we thank each of you who have contributed to bringing Lydia home and are diligently praying for her even at this moment. We love you all and thank God every day for you!
Please pass this website along to anyone you may know who would love to pray for our family. We covet your prayers and we long to see God glorified in this journey!

What in the world would I do without friends?
You know for those of us who are not "Techy Savvy" people, living in this world today can be quite challenging... I am SOOOO thankful for friends who are willing to take time and show me (on a first grade level) how to set up a blog. Many thanks to my dear friend Jana for taking some time out of her busy day to help the helpless!
We are still in a "holding pattern" for our adoption. I am so grateful for a busy schedule (homeschooling,working,ministry) to keep my mind focused on other things because the waiting could most certainly drive you crazy!
I know however, that my Lord is in control and she will come home in His timing not mine. We still need to raise 10 thousand dollars to complete the adoption. We were hoping for another grant application to be accepted, but it was not so we are now looking and praying for other funding ideas.
Some have asked if they could still make a donation to Lifesong on our behalf and the answer is YES! Our account will be open until Lydia's adoption is finalized. You can simply click on the logo in the right column of our blog, then go to the left column on Lifesong's website "make a donation" and then scroll down the page to the yellow "donate" icon. Under the purpose description at the top put "Melton #1349 Adoption" and then fill out your payment information. We will receive an update when donations are made.
Thanks to everyone for the prayers and encouraging words. May God richly bless you as you seek to serve Him each day!
