Thank you all for your amazing support for our family. We treasure each of your prayers as we continue on in this beautiful journey of adoption. This will be our final blog entry, as we were never “real” bloggers, and we set this blog up so that our friends and family could follow our journey to Ethiopia and back and to
It has been two sweet, yet hard, months since we have been home with all 6 kids! T__ and E___ have adjusted very well, but still have more adjusting to do. We are forever thankful that God has placed them in our family! Our other 4 have had some hard times with the new adjustments as well, but are doing beautifully. We will continue to pray for A___ and E___ to continue to learn how to love each other more.
Thank you again!!! We’ll always be praying for more successful adoptions for God’s children and for the millions of orphans out there, alone. There is nothing like serving Him, loving Him, and being sanctified by Him through adoption! We very highly recommend praying about it and pursuing it, if you have not already.
John 14:18 18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.”
James 1:27 27 ‘Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.”
God Bless You!!!
Love,
The Rutlands….all 8 of us!
