One step Closer!!!

PAPERS ARE IN THE US EMBASSY's HANDS!!!

Now what, you may ask .....

Well.... WE WAIT!!!
YES, WAIT, Once again!!!

The Lord really is teaching us things like patience, perseverance and submission. Word is that the US EMBASSY in Ethiopia is completely backed up. Many families that have already received their invite to go and get their children have gotten called at the last minute that their appointment times have been pushed back. Not really sure what this means for us or if this affects our agency in anyway at this time.

At this point it is solely up to US EMBASSY as to when we get to travel to Ethiopia and finally bring our children home. We are trying to trust that God's timing is perfect in all of this even though there has been so many times throughout this process I have caught myself thinking that my timing and my way would of been so much better. BUT... HE KNOWS WHAT IS BEST... not I !!! AGAIN... PEACE!!!

Meanwhile - It has really been amazing around here watching God prepare our hearts in such little but oh so significant ways. I think we as Americans look for those big instant life changing things. We want to see the instant miracles.. RIGHT NOW!!! And if we don't we get frustrated and begin to doubt... not realizing that God really is doing incredible things.. in His timing and His way. Again it is about PERSEVERANCE and FAITH!

Thank you GOD for the journey you have us on. Thank you for all you have done and all you are doing - even the things we are not even aware of right now. YOU ARE SO AMAZING!!!!
