So This is Happening.....

It's finally happening! So excited to return to Ethiopia and introduce the little man to his brother and sister that he as faithfully prayed for these past three and a half years!!!!

Waiting

"Waiting with ope is very difficult, but true patience is expressed when we must even wait for hope. I will have reached the point of greatest strength once I have learned to wait for hope."

Lady M's Birthday

Today is my baby girl's birthday.
I honestly thought that I would be holding her in my arms by now.

But I am not.....

So I try to keep myself distracted (I had a lovely birthday dinner with a dear friend) and then came home and lit a candle in honor of Lady M. while I cried my eyes out to Micah.

Being separated from your children for an unknown period of time can be so hard on the heart. I pray that Lady M and I can make up these missed celebrations by spending many more together in the future and making some sweet memories together.

Love you Lady M.... Praying your little life was full of love today. Soon baby girl, soon.

Anchoring

Pondering...

"When God sends no answer and the 'cloud remains' , we must wait. Yet we can do so with the full assurance of God's provision of manna, water from the rock, shelter, and protection from our enemies. He never keeps us at our post without assuring us of His presence or sending us daily supplies."

Woot Woot!

We were finally submitted to Embassy! This means that our case will begin the process of being reviewed by the United States and once the case is cleared we can travel to bring the babes home! It is hard to remain patience when several other families we know have been traveling within three weeks of this date. Soon babies soon!

Celebrating

Our little family was honored yesterday through an adoption shower. I am so thankful for the outpouring of love that was shown to our little family.
