My dearest friend, Amy, is in Kazakhstan right now, in the final stages of an international adoption. I would like to ask for all of your prayers that God give her a clear sign which child(ren) she is meant to bring home.

At first glance, my favorite Christmas gift is my new webcam from my husband. With it I am now able to have great online conversations with my mom and dad, whom I miss an awful lot! And I’m able to give them the “J5 fixes” they need.
