What a day it has been! A day of prayer. A day in which I got down on my knees with my 5 kids, held hands, and prayed for God's intervention. Either God was going to move some mountains so that we could go to court next week or it just wasn't the right timing- and we were to trust that. All day long, we waited to see His Will. In the late evening, we heard some good news about the FBI data- it will be sent on Friday and Fed Exed to a nearby local. At their suggestion, we will be waiting outside their office at 8 a.m on Saturday morning. They were so gracious and told us that they would make it a priority to find that morning when they sort the letters. (Our flight is at 1 pm- so not a whole lot of extra time there).
About 10:30 pm tonight, we received a text from our adoption agency. There was still some outstanding items that the local judge had to approve of. According to the text, there just remains one final internal document that should arrive Monday but the judge has agreed to see us.
Wow! Jim and I kind of looked at each other. Is this real? Could it be? Is something going to come along and mess this up? I am an optimistic person with a deep sense of God's faithfulness. But this is international adoption- it's a crazy journey of complications and surprises. So you are never 100% confident of basically anything- except Jesus.
So .. are we excited ? YES!!! Are surprised? YES!!!! Did God move those mountains in a miraculous way that just screams the Almighty? YES!!!!
Celebrate and worship Him with us.
Now---- can't wait to see our little guy again.
Thank you for your support and prayers. They mean SO much!
