If you have visited here before, you can probably see that I have changed the name of the blog again. I started blogging at 4URuthie to tell the story of our journey to adopt our 1st daughter. I changed it to Mountains for Maggie when we were praying for God to move mountains on behalf of our 2nd daughter. Well now it is no longer just Ruthie’s or Maggie’s stories. It is now our family's story, and the stories of those we share life with, as we Conquer Mountains together. Both ConqueringMountains.net and 4URuthie.blogspot will lead here.

Quarantine thoughts...

I saw earlier that another adoptive family has been quarantined and this time it appears that they were split up. I am not sure of the details, but you can pray for them. God knows their needs.

The lady in charge of the China Adopt Talk website today (she calls herself Rumor Queen) said that it appears your chances of being quarantined are around 6%. That number seems pretty low if you ask me, but then I thought of it this way- If someone told you that you had a 6% chance of being captured and held hostage if you went to the mall today, would you go? Heck no, I wouldn't and I certainly wouldn't take my kids. Now, what if they told you that one of your children was already in the mall? Then what would you do?

The hostage scenario is really not that far off. Basically the people are being held in a strange location that is not of their choosing. Many of them are being forced to stay in one room. They can only eat what is delivered to them and they can't leave until the unidentified men in masks release them.

Jack and Sam's Papa and Grandi have agreed to come to Houston to keep the boys. I am growing more and more thankful for that.

Did I mention the quarantine picture I saw of the teenager trying to trap the rats with a bucket? I think that was the deal breaker for me.

STILL PRAYING LIKE CRAZY FOR A JULY 3rd TA MIRACLE!!!

Tomorrow the girls go to Parent's Day Out and then I run a short errand for Bill. Once I am home, nothing will be done until I have spent time on my knees for you! Remember, the enemy will use it all to pump you full of fear. Perfect LOVE cast out ALL fear! Trust in the Lord with all your heart and He WILL make your path straight!!!
