Longer wait

Just got word from our agency that the referral wait for an infant boy has moved from 10-16 months to 14-18 months. We knew this was a possibility and probably going to happen, but of coarse hoping it wouldn't.
We are both ok and are really trusting in the Lords timing! He knows when we will be ready and the exact baby for us! We can't wait to see how God will use this time!
Continue to pray that we put our faith and trust in Jesus!!!

6 months Celebration

On January 22, 2012 we celebrated 6 months of waiting for a referral.  This was also my grandfathers 85th birthday! :)

We had church that morning and then afterwards Joseph and I toasted with mimosas. (warm day out)

 Later that day I had time to sew the 6th link in our "Wait Chain."

 

 Time is going by pretty quickly, which I am grateful for. Hopefully this month I will be motivated to clean out that guestroom!

Love to all,
Emily

Grant Approval

Wow, just as I was filling out my paperwork, I remembered I saw the mail man walk up. So I went to check it and saw a letter from a grant organization we applied for a few months back!
By the grace of God we were approved for an unimaginable amount! I cannot be more grateful right now! Thank you show HOPE for your help!!
Praise Jesus!!!

A Little More Paperwork

Thinking I was done with all that crazy paper work just to receive a reminder that my finger prints expire in March. Meaning, I have to fill out another tiny packet of request for renewal.  When I first saw that there was a renewal guideline packet, I freaked, "Not more paper work!"  But once I got into it I knocked it out in about 20 mins. Now all I need are the hubs signatures then we can mail it off. Just a little reminder of what its taking to get our little man home! SOOO worth it! I can not wait, and of coarse I will do anything to get him home! :)
