"God Sets The Lonely In Families" Psalms 68:6

Friday, July 22, 2011



It is AMAZING what God does, how he works, how he loves, and how he changes peoples lives forever.

God changed our lives. Our whole world has changed in many ways- good, bad, amazing, joyful, always busy, and lots more.

We Changed the World for 2. Its amazing to see them love their new home, because it was breath taking to see what they had before. My brothers were left, stranded, alone, But even when there was no one there, God knew, ''For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and to not harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future" Jeremiah 29:11. My brothers now have a future, how amazing. There are now 147 million orphans -2. Because "God set the lonely" in our family, it is a miracle.

Keep Praying for the Maddux Family!

Amazing how God works out every thing for a reason. If it were not for God, i would not be here, and you would not be here. We praise God every day that we wake up to beautiful little boys and that they have many talents. They make us happy all the time. God is life changing. We could NEVER ask God for 2 better little boys. Thank you all for reading our journey this past year to getting these boys home. It is true,
''I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.'' John 14:18

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

sorry i have not posted in a long time... here is a update on the boys-Patrick is growing up to be the biggest "stinker" in the world:) he is about to be 4 and smart as ever and i cant get over how much he has grown. Nicholas is growing too, still is "stone cold" some times... but still he LOVES his new home and and loving life:) Also we just got a pool that the boys LOVE! Its fun because its big enough for ALL of us to swim in. Please keep praying for my family as we are trying to raise the boys, as perfect as we can.

So, i posted along time ago saying that my aunt was adopting 2 girls from Haiti... they just got word that she is leaving tuesday to Haiti to go to court.. so she will come home friday and now wait for about 2 to 3 months and will go back and pick them up!!!! Thank you Jesus! Please pray, their names are Jode and Valencia.....
