I’m so sorry for taking this long to update this blog! ( I'll do better from now on!!)
We are done with all the paperwork!!!.Thank you God!!!....and the last 2 documents (FBI clearance and USCIS - I171H/Immigration ok to adopt ) that were missing from our dossier are right now flying to our little one's country in the hands of a very special lady! ( she was a crucial part of our in country facilitation team during our last adoption) . So , now we continue waiting....until we hear that our dossier was submitted in National Adoption Office ( in country) to be reviewed and to receive an appointment date ( traveling date!) . This could take 6 to 10 more weeks ....
44 Dossier documents Apostilled!!!!
While we wait we are getting nervous trying to work more in fundraising for our Family Sponsorship Program with Reece's Rainbow and also with Youcaring.....
I have received numerous e-mails from friends asking me how to pray for us and asking me for updates in this blog!! ( Sorry again for delay!)
It is a huge comfort to know that people are praying for us. Thank you Lord for the body of Christ!
Please, pray for our child's health
Please pray for our Lord's protection and love to cover him every minute of the day and night.....he has no idea that he has a mommy and a daddy on the other side of the world trying to bring him home....he has no idea that he is already sooo very loved...
Please pray that we would keep our eyes on and trust in Jesus
It is easy to get distracted, worry about the money we need to make..raise ...save, ...ups and downs at work, ..updated adoption classes we had to take and books we needed to read , complete boat loads of paperwork ...days, weeks .. months go by in the midst of all this, it is easy to take our eyes of Jesus . Keeping our focus on Him, waiting on Him, trusting in Him is exactly what we need to keep doing.
Psalm 27:13,14. It says, “I am confident of this, I will see the goodness of the Lord…Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” I have continued to hold onto this verse since our first adoption ...everything is easier to handle when our eyes are fixed on Jesus and not our circumstances.
Please pray for financial provision
While we don’t know how or when He will provide for us, we take comfort in that He has all those details worked out already.
Philippians 4:19 says, “And my God will supply ever need of yours according to his riches…”
Lord, You are Trustworthy
We understand that we cannot put our trust in our own will and way. While we lack the vision to see how our circumstances will best glorify Your name , we can trust that You Lord are working for our good and Your purpose.
Thank you for your prayers!!!!
