Liberty Anna

Linny Saunders82 Comments
We are taking a moment from Africa stories to honor one of our many treasures….
Our girl is 12 today!
Someday I will write and tell the story of Liberty
 coming home to us because it is, indeed, 
a Memorial Box Monday story – 
we are so humbled and honored that the Lord would allow us the
 privilege of having Liberty as our daughter and we are
forever grateful for Liberty’s birth mom, 
Cheryl – she is such a blessing to us!
Liberty is the answer to years of praying for another little one..
and even praying specifically for a bi-racial baby….
how good of God to grant us the desires of our heart.
Liberty is tender-hearted and kind to all.  She loves Jesus and wants to please Him!  She is looked up to by all her little siblings – and sets such a good example with her gentle, thankful and loving attitude.  Her giggle is contagious…and she laughs easily.  
A heart for the orphans she was telling Daddy and I at lunch today that her dream is to one day be a missionary to Uganda, working alongside Emma in service to the orphans.  
{Two sisters who are close buddies.}

 Lunch downtown today with just mom and dad

I cannot believe that the God of the universe would move mountains hours away from us to allow Liberty to come home to us.  When her birth family was looking for a home for Liberty they contacted a well known adoption agency.  They left a message and the agency never called them back!!  
No doubt, the Lord was orchestrating events for us!!
We rejoice in this precious treasure 
and 
Would ask you to join us in wishing her 
an extra special birthday today??

  72. Happy Birthday, Liberty. I always think that she must be a very special child because she is right in the middle of the older kids and the younger and seems to do such a great job right there!
