JOY FILLED NEWS


The Lord has done great things for us
and
We are FILLED with JOY!
Psalm 126:3

News Flash! 


We have a new son! 


This precious little boy,

Moses Destin Kiziganyi Berg,
has now been adopted into our family!  

 We signed the Congolese Adoption Papers on my brother Jim’s birthday, June 24. 

What a special day!  

*******


We cannot wait to introduce him to YOU and to the USA when we come home with him in just another ten days! 

So many details and miracles played a part in Moses becoming a BERG – I will chronicle those in subsequent posts.  


If you frequent this blog much at all, you already know Moses (formerly referred to as "Deste").  If not, you can check out part of his back-story by reading this

and  this!

Whew!  
They are more, but I'm guessing no one wants to read that many posts.   


In the meantime, we are happy to finally get to share this news on our blog.  What an answer to many prayers is this little boy. 


Sing to God, sing in praise of his name,
    extol him who rides on the clouds;
    rejoice before him—his name is the Lord.
A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows,
    is God in his holy dwelling. 
 God sets the lonely in families,
    he leads out the prisoners with singing.
Psalm 68: 4-6

 
He defends the cause of the fatherless 
and the widow, 
and loves the foreigner residing among you, 
giving them food and clothing. 
Deuteronomy 10:18

“Be glad, barren woman....."
(post-menopausal woman could go here, too, I'm thinking.  haha.) 
Shout for joy and cry aloud........,
because you're getting more children.....
Galatians 4:27, paraphrased

 "Lift up your eyes and look about you......
your sons come from afar....."
Isaiah 60:4
