Friends,
I write to you today with news that I never expected to be able to share. Something that I thought impossible...something that I still cannot wrap my head around...something that only our glorious Lord could accomplish...
Our Adoption is Fully Funded. The Lord has Provided.
To those who have given to our adoption through their time, prayers and finances, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your reward is eternal. And if there is anyone who was planning to give to us or help us fundraise, please don't! :) Please give to another cause to support orphans or help another family with their adoption expenses. Our financial needs are met, though we would always gladly accept your prayers for the rest of this journey.
As for where we are in the process, our dossier is in Ethiopia. We are told it is being translated and registered. We were told this would take 2 weeks, though now it has been longer than that. This part of the waiting is hard, because we have no control over it. I find myself becoming easily angered and impatient. I need to remember that it is the Lord who holds all of this in His hands and trust His timing for everything.
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21
