Happy New Year - Taking Care of Kingdom Business in 2013

Praise God...its 2013!! We had an awesome time as a family on New Years Eve. We played games, the girls decided on prayer declarations for the next few months (we even got some for "JP", that's how we will refer to our son in Ghana from here on out), had praise and worship, prayer time, Declaration time and communion. The presence of God was truly thick in our "little church," our basement...LOL. God truly did somethings in each and everyone one of us last night. We are expecting a greater awareness of His presence, revelation and His glory to be revealed. We plan to intentionally take the presence of God EVERY WHERE we go and be reflected in our words, actions, deeds and thoughts.

Here are the declarations we will be praying over JP......(please feel free to declare them with us).....

1. Thank you Jesus for giving JP a chance to do great things for your Kingdom while in Ghana and when he comes home to his family in the United States. Revelation 3:8
2. Your World is in JP's heart and protects him when he is asleep or awake. Thank you, Father that You are always with JP and that he knows You are there. Proverb 5:21

Last night each of us prayed individually what was on our heart; everyone had JP on their hearts, but of course. We prayed for him, his family, other orphans and the people and country of Ghana.

We are believing God that our son will be home with us in 2013. We declare God's favor in every step of this process. We are trusting Him in every step of the way.

Remember you can help us bring our son home by: Praying!!! Donating at our website which is https://www.adopttogether.org/thepetways/. Purchasing bracelets; We also still have more. You can even donate your sky miles; this would be a great blessing since we have to make 2 trips to Ghana.
