Leaving on a Jet Plane!

Today we received some precious news... we will finally meet our son in a month! We are BEYOND THRILLED at this news and so thankful that in just a few weeks we can hold this boy we love so much!

So here is the deal: in a month we will go to Ethiopia for our court date. At that time we will go before a judge and {Lord-willing} pass court there (please pray that all of our paperwork is in order!) and so little "B" will be officially ours according to Ethiopia!

Today we booked our flights and once again winced at the expenses of this adoption -but we are SOO SO SOOOO glad to do it! Little "B" is worth every penny we have or could scrounge up because one day this orphan will be a son! As Will and I were wondering HOW things would come together, I got a call from Lifesong for Orphans saying that they were processing our grant application! Praise God! We don't know what the process will look like from here as they review our file and assess if we will get the grant we applied for or not, but we are confident that the Lord will provide for our needs.

In the meantime, we are selling Tukula, coffee, and preparing for a yard sale (sometime in February in Jacksonville!).Whew! Lots to do and prepare for as we think about bringing our son home hopefully in April or May!!!!

Praise God who hears and answers our prayers! You have been an amazing, amazing community for us and we are so thankful for all of the prayers that have been said on our behalf. We are humbled!
