DTC

Finally after 7 weeks, since we have had our 800a approval, we are dossier to Ch*na! Its been a bumpy 7 weeks lots of corrections and lost things but here we are! moving forward. Adoption is such a waiting game. It sometimes just feels overwhelming. Its hard to think that when we started that it looked like we could travel in February but now we are hoping to get her home around her birthday. It could even be later then that. We are  working on fundraising and looking for more grants to apply for. God has a plan for funded this adoption , we are just looking for what path he wants us to take. We are doing a bizarre this weekend and a auction the first week of December.
We requested a update on our baby 3 weeks ago and still haven't heard anything back. Its hard to not hearing how she is doing and whats going on in her life. Please pray we hear soon! Please be praying for provision for our adoption. We did get two grants this last week, they were small but covered our next payment. Mania you only get enough for that day or that next payment :)

We are so thrilled to be DTC. Next we wait to hear we are logged in. Then comes the big wait letter of approval. I have seen them quick for some families and slow for others. We are praying we get to be one of the quick families. But we do trust Gods timing and He will bring our baby home when He sees fit.
Thank you for all your prayers and support.

Matthew 25:40

And the king will answer and say 'Assuredly, I say to you , inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'

This verse speaks volumes to my heart this week. As our ministry gears up for our annual conference. I asked the Lord to focus me. He gave me this verse. The least of these....The reason we set our hearts toward God. The passion He brings out in us to help , the least of these. As Christians we all need to be aware of this. There are the least of these all around us. We ignore the post from a friend who post of a orphan across the world. We ignore the plea from a homeless person on the street. We ignore the foster child stuck in the system . We ignore the abuse of the least of these all the time. We would rather live in our bubble and pretend they don't need us. But the truth is they do need YOU. Stand up , be the one to meet one need today. The least of these are waiting wondering when someone somewhere will.
