You give and take away; My heart will choose to say; Lord, Blessed be your name

This week has been very painful for us. After many hours of agonizing prayer, phone calls, e-mails, struggles . . . We have found that we will not be able to bring Lilibeth and Eddie home under the current system of adoption in Guatemala. We are hoping and praying that God will provide a way for us to bring them home next year. The current adoption laws end at the end of this year, and there isn't anything in place for next year yet.

Please pray with us that God will provide a way for Lilibeth and Eddie to come home. We are heartbroken.



Blessed be your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where the streams of abundance flow
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out,
I turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

Blessed be your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's all as it should be
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out,
I turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, Blessed be your name

  1. My heart hurts for you, without even knowing any other details. If there's anything we can do for you, give us a call or shoot us an e-mail anytime.
    This is so hard to hear especially since you had already been in PGN before.
    We're praying for you!
