Prayers of the Saints

As God puts us on your heart, please pray for us. My friends asked if we knew our agenda to pray specifically for us. We do not really know anything for certain. We will let Mercy let us know what she feels like doing. Hopefully, she will love shopping like her mommy (and daddy too!)

Here are a few prayer requests that have been on my heart for long time.
  • We will have safe travel to/from Ethiopia.
  • Our luggage (especially our baby things) will arrive
  • We will be alert and well rested. We will get Mercy less than 12 hours after arriving in Ethiopia.
  • We will all be healthy.
  • Mercy will bond quickly to us.
  • The LONG journey home (22 hrs) will be as comfortable as possible for Mercy.
  • Mike and I will be patient with one another as we begin this new adventure.
  • Finally, we pray there are no unexpected delays at the Embassy.

Thank you for the countless prayers! I cannot wait to tell Mercy how many people have prayed for her and love her before we ever laid eyes on her.

That is a love that only comes from God.

  3. Stacie and Mike,

    I am praying for you as you become a family of three. May God strengthen the bond you share as husband and wife as you become Mommy and Daddy to little Mercy. May God's hand of protection be on all of you as you travel to and from ET.

    Mercy, I know your Mommy and Daddy have been praying for you for quite a while. May you grow to not only know the love of your earthly parents but most importantly the love of your Heavenly Father.

    Blessings to you,
    Gloria
