We Are Glad

Today, the walls of Jericho fell for our family. It is official. The little ladies are finally ours. We passed court today and leave soon for Ethiopia. So many of you were a huge part of praying these girls home. For that we are forever grateful. Thank you so much. God is faithful and God is good.

With that, here are our daughters - Junia Netsanet and Eden Freweini.



"The Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad." Psalm 126:3

Jebena said...

...Having done all to stand...David and Sarah....YOU STOOD! Your quiver is full!!!!

...Our hearts are glad and we rejoice with you forever and into GLORY!

P.S. Bebe Winans singing is perfectly jammin' to my heart's song!

Jebena said...

...Oh, I forgot to ask...are you set for March 10th???? LOL and smiling as I say March 10th. Look at our Heavenly Father be HIMSELF all by HIMSELF (with David and Sarah doing and being faithful)!

Sara said...

Congrats! What a great day for your family.

Jebena said...

...I mean Mr. Ruben Studdard "For Life" song is singing my heart right about now. (Big ups to Big Ru!---sorry Teddy Bear)

...okay, I'll quit stalking you too and get back to rejoicing!

Nikki said...

Congratulations! They are so so sweet and they are so so yours! How wonderful is that?! And I love the name Eden. We've been tossing it around as a name for one of our girls, too.

Congratulations! What a joy!

We are so happy for you. Congratulations! Davis, the video is beautiful... I cried through the whole thing. So touching. Sending love and hugs to you all.

Jebena said...

...not to stalk you too much, but Sarah, who is that singing??? I sensibly assumed it to be Bebe Winans, then Ruben (my teddy bear) but now, I'm not so sure.

Please, please, please tell me the title and artist of the song. My hubby and I love it! Thanks and I'll quit adding needless comments now.
