Family Update

Here is the latest Richardson Family News -

Michael has a new cast courtesy of Shriner’s hospital to stretch out his heel cord due to his cerebral palsy. Michael has been having pain in his casted leg, and will be thrilled to get it off in a few weeks so he can start back up in gymnastics.

Gabriela has been having growing pains in her legs again; she has grown several inches this year. Gabriela was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and ADHD. Since she has been on medication these last few months, it has been awesome to see her stabilize. It has been even more awesome to see the power of God’s work in her and see her sparkling personality shine. She is a much calmer and happier girl, and a real wonderful and responsible helper around the house. On top of that she is very good about taking her medicine. Even her school grades have improved.

We lost our referral of the three kids we were waiting to adopt from Liberia, Africa. The dad did not know. We are glad that the investigations into these children reunited them with their dad. Please keep them in your prayers for healing.

In the meantime, we will be fundraising more for the adoption and let God hold it in His hands and His timing. God’s timing is perfect in all things – even though we can’t always understand it. I am blessed to see God working in magnificent ways in our family.

On the journey of our adoption fundraising we have started a blog to let others know how things are going. We will be adding links for donating to the adoption fund. As we get them set up, we hope all of you visit our blog again.

Also, we have the ABC Extreme Home Makeover to finish. Yes, we are applying.

Shawna, our youngest, is now saying yes, more please (sounds like moy peas), and thank you (sounds like thanka or thaka). She loves to climb on everything.

And last but never least, Scott and I have been praying like crazy.
Please keep us in your prayers as well as God is working in us !!

Please feel free to share our story and blog with as many people as you can. Our prayer is to inspire you and glorify God.

Blessings, Faith and Hope to You,
Jennifer
