Life is GOOD!!

On October 30, Phillip and I journeyed to the GA/FL game in Jacksonville. For those of you who don't know, Phillip is a HUGE GA fan. Me...don't really care. But I offered to go with him and he jumped at it! Although, the end result wasn't what Phillip had hoped for, we had a GREAT time. Even I got into the game.

November Update!! 

We have been rejoicing around the Herrington home. On November 6, 2010, Emma prayed and asked Jesus to be her boss and savior. What a glorious time. We were able to pray together as a family. She came to us and said, "Today's the day!" We have been encouraging her and making sure she understands. Her words to me, "I get it mom!" I love that girl!



We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Busy...but good. We spend some time Saturday with my Granny B and Aunt Pat. We don't get to see them much so we enjoyed our visit.

My sister flew in from Chicago and spent a few days of one-on-one time with Emma. Emma had a blast.

They really are two peas in a pod...

We are hitting the Christmas season full force. Our calendars are full and our stress levels are high! However, we are committed to the true meaning of Christmas and will make sure that shines throughout all our activites.

Jack Update:

He's doing well. The orphanage has remained Cholera free and are taking lots of precautions to remain that way. A team from Jacksonville was at the orphanage the week of Jack's birthday so they celebrated with him and a few others that had birthdays that week. Pictures are supposed to be coming :)

We are just waiting, STILL. Due to the elections, paperwork seems to be at a standstill. We are hoping to at least find out what stage we are in before Christmas. However, we continue to be confident of the road God has us on. Even in the times when I'm discouraged, saddened and frustrated, I'm reminded that God is in control.  Keep praying!!! We are anxiously awaiting Jack's arrival.

We are headed to Haiti December 27-January 3. We can't hardly wait. The only thing that would make the trip AWESOME would be if Emma was with us but she's not ready for a trip that this yet. Maybe one day, she and Jack can go to Haiti together to offer the only true hope!! We will be traveling with a team of 10 from our church. Pray for our team as we continue to prepare for our journey.

But wait...if we were able to bring Jack home with us...that indeed would be the best trip ever. We are not counting on that but we are praying specifically for that. We are more and more reminded every day how big our God is. He is way bigger than some paperwork. If he wants Jack to come home with us in January...it will happen!!
