So happy for you and your family. It’s been a long wait but I’m sure it is well worth it (now that the waiting is over) to have a lifetime with these precious babies. Congratulations and praise be to GOD!!
Such wonderful news! You were the first site I looked at this morning — so wanting to read the good news! And here it is! Thank you God for this blessing!
Praise Jesus!! I will continue praying for protection, wisdom and for Jesus to hide each of you under His wings! What an amazing journey you are on – I feel privileged to be a part of it through prayer!!
OK… I too have to come out of blog hiding and make a post for this one. I am friends with Amy S. and found your blog through hers. I have been following it every day and praying right along with everyone else. I am soooo happy for you and your family. Thank you God!

I have been following your blog for some time now & praying for your family all along. I’ve especially been praying for you this week ~ I can’t imagine how restless you must have been feeling. This is the most wonderful news for such a deserving family. Zeke & Kora will make two fine little Muscatiners!!!
God Bless!
Praising the Lord with you.
I’ve also been following your blog for awhile. This news made my day, I can’t imagine how it has made yours!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! God is so good!!! Now I’ll just be praying for you both to have safe travel (and no motion sickness for you Jody) when you go pick up your smallest two members of the Landers clan!
Blessings all around…
Woo-hoo!!!!

Thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus. Another prayer answered. Jody, you must be soooooooooo excited. I know I am so I can only imagine how you are feeling! Can’t wait to hear all about it. LOVE YOU GUYS!
Jody, I have been reading your blog for months and have been praying for you
and your family every step of the way, especially so this week. Your faith has
been an inspiration to me and countless others that keep you in their prayers,
as we follow this incredible journey you and your family are on. When I
received your happy news this morning I wept for joy for you and Andy and
sent my thanks to God for making this happen. I will be anxiously awaiting
more happy news and will continue praying for you.
It took my breath away reading that. Congratulations. Prayers shift to safe travel and sweet peace for your boys while they wait.
P.S. Have you tried dramamine? It’s my travel friend.

What a HUGE answer to prayer!!!!!!!!!! We serve an AWESOME God!!!! He knows how much you’ll love and guide those 2 precious children!!!!!!!!
PRAISE THE LORD! He is so good! Was praying so much for you and your babies last night! So cool to see God’s faithfulness to you and Zeke and Kora!

GOD IS GOOD!!! PERIOD!
We all need to keep praying that all the plans go smoothly, you all stay healthy, they stay healthy…..much to pray about!!!!
So happy to hear this great news!
Blessings,
Dianne S
Seriously, I was beginning to think that if I wanted to see you again it would have to be in Africa…after you’d moved there to be with all six of your kids. So glad you’re still just going to be down the road. (Now that I think about it, the drive to your place doesn’t seem too bad!)

Jody,
I have been following your story via Tesi’s blog. I have sent up many prayers for your family! Congratulations! I needed some awesome news today and I am so glad it was yours! God is GREAT!!!
Jody, we are so very excited for you!! You must just be beside yourself.
So the big question now is when do you leave?
Tears of joy flowing. Thank you God for the many blessings your pour out!!! So happy for your family.
So happy for you all!
Good things happy to those who wait! congrats!!
Congratulations!!! and Praise God!!! I’m so happy for you and although we’ve never met you have been such an inspiration to me. God has been using you to speak to my heart about adoption. Now the question is not if, but when.
Jody & Andy, we are so thrilled to hear your good news today! This verse has helped me so much over the years, & I hope you might hold it in your hearts as you head for Africa—-”My peace I give you; Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” You will have our prayers all the way.
It is a great day in the Kingdom today!
Hallelujah!
Praise God!!!!! I am sooooo excited for you! Love, HollyAnn
