Last Sunday was Adoption Sunday at church. It was such a blessing to me! Then on Wednesday night we got confirmation that our dossier was submitted successfully in Ukraine! We got word that we now have to wire $2500 to Ukraine on Tuesday which will completely drain our account and then some. As an aside Addie just gave me a dollar, and said "put this in the adoption account. I just wanna meet those boys!". I am struggling to stay faithful to the committment we made with each other and with the Lord that we wouldn't go into debt to complete this adoption. I know that He is faithful. He will provide in His time. I just have to let Him!
Prayer requests at this time:
1) that God will provide the money. If you feel led to contribute anything, even if it's just a dollar, please do so! You can do it through the button to the right!
2) That God would continue to replace our will with His. That our hearts and those of our children would be prepared according to His will.
3) that we can figure out this travel thing... Who's going and when and for how long.
Thank you so much for your prayers. I keep thinking of the words that Kenneth Bruce said last week "Jesus purchased us at a great price. We purchase our children at a great price"... This is what happens when He calls us to adoption. We have to go out into the world to rescue our children just as Jesus did for us. We're all called to the care of orphans. This is a great way to do that!
