"Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by doing so some people have entertained angels without knowing it." Hebrews 13:2
let me introduce you to our angel. her name is cheri and she is our social worker. yes, i am fully aware of the stigma of having a social worker involved with your family, but rest assured it's not because we're "troubled."
cheri is our liason to our adoption agency. she keeps us on task with our to-do list for finalization and keeps us accountable in the care and upbringing of Israel. sure, to her it is a job, but you can tell she loves what she does. and, based on our many conversations with her, we know she is uniquely gifted, passioned and trained for the work that she loves so much.
we met with her today (she's required to do monthly check-up visits). as always she was bright and cheery, but more importantly, she is a great encourager. the visit went smoothly (she just checks-in; she doesn't grill us), but as she was leaving, i had a deep realization of how blessed we are to be working with her, to have her on our side. she is one of those people who care deeply for those around them. i absolutely cannot picture going through this process without her help.
so, even though we tell her everytime, let me publish to the world: cheri, we are deeply and humbly grateful for all that you do. may God bless your work.
Holy Spirit, to You i pray today. fill our angel, cheri, with your presence today and everyday. grant her the desires of her heart and show her tangible results of her labor. help her maintain her integrity in everything. to every person she works with, whether birth-families, adoptive-families, co-workers or other business acquaintances, we ask that You bless them as well. bless her family and the congregation with whom she worships. send Your angels of protection through her work-related traveling and remove all logistical and technical distractions from her work. thank You for sending her to us.
for those considering adoption, check-out the website of our agency. we cannot praise them high enough for their diligence and integrity in their work. http://www.graceworks.org/adoptions/

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. (If he will be possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll I thankful, bye friend).
