please pray for sweet KEVIN!

hey guys... i have a major prayer request. you see this sweet sweet boy? his name is kevin. he is a very adorable, active, talkative 2 1/2 year old little boy. some local friends of mine just adopted him from china last week. they have 4 biological children, and kevin makes thier 4th adopted child from china. he has some serious heart issues. they knew this when they adopted him, but they thought when they brought him home, the drs here could help him. he had his first appointment with the cardiologist on tuesday, and the dr did not give much hope... in fact the dr was anxious. kevin has a lot of lung damage, and numerous heart complications. kevin will see the same dr again on tuesday for a follow up appt and a heart cath. the dr specifically said to pray that he will see something "new" in the heart cath.

so friends, that's what i'm praying for, and i'm asking you to do the same. we know that philipians 4:6 says "be ANXIOUS for nothing, but in ALL things, by PRAYER and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to god." please please please join me in prayer for sweet kevin. the lord has brought him home to his forever family. and we are SO thankful for that! we know that kevin is in god's hands. i will be praying zeph 3:17 over kevin these next few days and nites. i will make it personal and say "the lord KEVIN'S god is with KEVIN, he is mighty to save KEVIN. he will take great delight in KEVIN, he will quiet KEVIN with his love. he will rejoice over KEVIN with singing!"

will you please pray for kevin? and pray for his precious parents, who are so obedient to the lord. they know kevin is in god's hands, but ya'll, i just can't imagine what they are feeling right now. i have followed their journey to china and back, and i feel like i know this sweet boy. (i do know the family, but have not yet met kevin.) please also pray for his siblings. below is a picture of all 8 adorable children. kevin is in the middle in blue.

my heart is so heavy for kevin right now, i guess because i have fallen in love with this sweet boy. i mean, look at him, how could you not? having 2 boys of my own, one being very close to kevin's age, i just can't imagine. again, please join me in lifting kevin up in prayer. he needs a miracle, and i know for a fact that god still does miracles, and he has awesome plans for kevin's life. please do me a favor. if you read this, and will commit to praying for kevin, please leave me a comment and let me know. it is so encouraging to see the body of christ praying for one another. even if you don't know kevin, please say a prayer for him. i will keep you updated on his appt next week as i hear something!

jeremiah 29:11
"for i know the plans i have for you, declares the lord. plans to prosper you, and not to harm you. to give you a future and a hope."
