2 STEPS

We have 2 steps left....... Aricle 5 and Travel Approval !!!
oh, my, gosh !!
I am feeling excited, scared, wonder, especially AWE.
That God would get us to this point...we are bringing two more
orphans home. WOW !! Can't wait to see their beautiful faces
in person and finally be able to share photos with everyone !

I am filling out Grant applications. Yep, more paper work

Another WOW !, looking at the fees we have paid and realized
that since we are adopting two children that our post-placement
reports that our homestudy agency does for us will be $600 for
each of the required 6 reports ($300 for each child) =$3600
Praying about the finances for this adoption. I know God has this !!

Stay calm and pray on !!!

Big sis gave them Easter hats and wings and candy..
She is go giving even though she has a little one of her own now.

800 APPROVAL

Yes, I-800 approval was yesterday 4/16 !!!
now just NVC,  ART 5,  Travel Approval  left.

Last night we had a couple over who are interested in
International Adoption..It was really awesome to get to
talk to other adults who are interested in starting their adoption
journey.  We have said all along that we wish we had other
adoptive families to talk to about the process and other things.
And to be able to see more orphans adopted !!!

We mailed out our Show Hope Grant Application yesterday.
 Also need to get more apps filled out and mailed.

I was holding my grand daughter this morning and Nathan says
"mom once you get Rebekah you won't be able to hold Brooke
and Rebekah and calm Rohana down. I said " please that is like
saying that you can not do school work and watch tv at the same time."

HYMN

 

TEACH ME, LORD 

Teach me, Lord, to wait - down on my knees.

Till in your own good time you'll answer my pleas.

Teach me not to rely on what others do.

But to wait in prayer for an answer from you.

 

Chorus

They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.

They shall mount up with wings as eagles.

They shall run and not be weary,

They shall walk and not faint.

Teach me, Lord, Teach me, Lord, to wait!

 

Teach me, Lord, to wait - while hearts are aflame.

Let me humble my pride and call on your name.

Keep my faith renewed and my eyes on thee.

Let me be on this earth what you want me to be.

 

Chorus

They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.

They shall mount up with wings as eagles.

They shall run and not be weary,

They shall walk and not faint.

Teach me, Lord, Teach me, Lord, to wait!

To wait! Now

  

 

DAFO

Dynamic Ankle Foot Orthoses.
Rohana had to have a new brace because she is growing again.
(imagine that )
She chose tweety bird this time

I think June will be a really busy month for us since Austin is a senior
he will be graduating and Nathan will be graduation from the 8th grade.
The girls get out of school 2 weeks after them.
 


SOOOO BLESSED
