Ughhh

Instead of emailing the agency called this morning.  Tell tale sign that it was not good news.  They could not get a Consulate Appointment in September.  They are talking of December travel but are attempting to squeeze us in before then.  I can't even go to thinking of December.  There is a rumor that travel approval is only good for 90 days so the agency rep was going to check into that as well. 

Matt could not sleep last night thinking that next week we would be leaving so he just went into work at 11:30.  We were all so optimistic especially after such a quick travel approval.  It is all in His timing.  I wonder how many times we have repeated that.

Our goals in this blog are two-fold. We want to keep friends and family informed and updated but we also pray that you would be moved to do your part in making the invisible God visible to those who are orphaned or at risk of becoming orphaned. There are so many ways to do something. God’s heart is for the orphan (James 1:27) and if you ask Him for direction in this He will answer.

For those of you sensing to support us, here is how you can do so as of now.

  • PRAISE for her life and for the opportunity we have to be her family.
  • Prayers for guidance in preparing for her to join our family; protection and care for her and direction for the hands caring for her; expedited Travel Approval - much sooner than we woudld anticipate; and leading as we make plans for our 3 other childrne while we are in China.
  • Financial assistance for the costs associated with her adoption (The total will be around $32,000). While it is humbling to include this we sensed that we should. We know that helping financially is a gift some have been given, and we do not have the right to let our pride get in the way of those of you who are called to serve in this way.
