Prayers for Ashely

This was an email sent to me this morning...like I said in the below post, THIS is the Body of Christ acting like the Body!! Thanks so much, Kate for your prayers!!!


God, thank you for the sweet blessing for Emily and her family. Please bless them in every step of their adoption process. God, give them patience and grace as they wait to travel to China. Please also bless every step of their trip. I pray for Ashley that she would have peace that comes from you when she is placed in Emily's arms. God, even now, be preparing Ashley for this very big transition- which you have been preparing from the beginning. Please provide all of the money that Emily and Jay need to pay for the rest of the adoption, travel, and post adoption costs. God I ask for special grace for her kids. May they not feel less loved or less important, but quickly form a bond with Ashley- like she has always been a part of their life. I pray you would give Emily all of the patience and energy she needs to give a lot of attention to two little girls very close in age. And give she and Jay grace as they will have a little less time for each other. Please provide friends and family who could be an enourmous help during this time of enormous blessing. Keep them safe and healthy when they travel. I pray all the paper work, meetings while in China, etc. will go perfectly. Please give them good weather and help Ashley on the flight back- please help her to sleep and be happy. I pray she would quickly have a smile on her face due to the love she is receiving from her parents. Thank you for providing this wonderful family for Ashley. May they be lifelong blessings to one another. Please bless her as she grows and give her a special understanding of you and your son's sacrifice for her. God thank you again that you care about each one of us so much that you would bring a family together from around the world. You are so good.
