"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." (James 1:27)

2 YEARS TODAY!

Our precious Kylie Hope,

You've been growing in our hearts for quite some time now. For me, 3 1/2 years. Today is the 2 year mark we've been "officially" waiting for you. When we started the adoption process it was only suppose to be an 8 month wait. Now it's over 2 years. We love you and pray for you everyday. I believe and pray that God is preparing you for us. Your Daddy and Mommy and big brother, Karsten, love and adore you. We know that our loving Heavenly Father is watching over you and protecting you. He loves you so much!

Romans 15:13 spoke to my heart this morning. "May the God of HOPE fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with HOPE by the power of the Holy Spirit."

We love you, Kylie,
Mommy, Daddy, & Karsten
Romans 8:15-17
"For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption. And by him we cry 'Abba, Father.' The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory."
