On April 7 everything changed in an instance, and quite honestly it still does not feel like it is a reality. I can't remember the last time I've cried so much and prayed so much. "Jax has cancer" were the words I will never forget. In an instance, an eternal perspective has become the forefront in our reality in every meaning of the words. We don't know what the future holds for Jax and are asking God for a healing miracle and for a paper chase miracle.
Paper-chase miracles we are seeing, God already moving paper chase mountains in the process to bring Jax Jean and Jewlia Grace home. God has already within a few weeks moved mountains to speed up the process. Things are happening incredibly fast, it is honestly hard to keep up. God is putting people in instrumental places that are literally walking our paperwork through it’s processes, time frames taking minutes versus days, and taking days versus months. We are hoping, planning, and praying about leaving on May 28th to bring home our next two jewels and are continuing to trust God for this.
Now the other miracle we are asking him for, a financial miracle. Coming up with $45,000 in 10-12 months already was going to be a miracle quite honestly. Needing to come up with that pretty much now, as we are looking at a May-June travel date, well there are no words. AND with this we are also seeing miracles. It blows my heart and mind, the amount of people who have financially supported us, and the generosity of people. WOW, it's CRAZY! Never, have we been given so much, never have we been so open about our need, and never has our need been so great.
If truth be told, when we got the phone call on April 7 we immediately thought "we can't do this," and we wanted to run. Yes, both of our waiting jewels have special needs, but this was not at all what we were anticipating nor prepared for. Our initial and immediate response was shock and sadness, and a feeling of not feeling like we could handle adopting a boy who has cancer and had the possibility of becoming completely blind. Initially this was not something we felt we wanted to sign up for, nor did we feel like we had the capacity.
However after a few hours of being on our knees, God worked it out in both of our hearts that Jax indeed was our son and that He wanted us to fight for him and bring him home. God quickly and individually changed both of our hearts and confirmed in us, "this is your son. Fight for him. Bring him home." God then used our children to confirm this, them not missing a beat in, Jax's cancer diagnosis not even slightly rocking their hearts. Our Jewlia Grace turns 3 on April 22 and Jax Jean turns 2 on June 5. We are praying that Jax is in our arms before his birthday.
