Ecstatic...

and yet so humbled at what the Lord did for us this morning. We are now registered as adoptive parents for the country of Ukraine...I cannot belive it, we are about to enter the final step to bring our son home! Today was the last day to be submitted, boy am I every thankful!

To God be the Glory!

I just feel like crying I am so thankful.... 3:30am, we were submitted this morning with flying colors. Thank you Lord for doing this for us! This is big news for us...we now stand in a long line for a travel date...a line that we could be in for a while.

"That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ" 1 Peter 1:7

The count down...

It is 8am in Rapid, 9am in Texas,10am in Georgia and 5pm in Ukraine....in about 16 hours we will know if the new authority will accept our dossier. Please Please pray, I am so very much ready to move forward.

This one thing I know...

I do not know which child the Lord will have to be ours, at this point only He knows that...I do know I have a child I feel as if I am dying to get to, just cannot wait to see who :)

I am in love

with my Lord, my husband, 4 children here and one little boy across the ocean....boy, I CANNOT wait to get my hands on that boy, to scoop him up and run out that door forever... if the Lord allows it!

Today Mike and I had some immunizations done in preperation for our trip and we picked up yet more new bills from the bank, thank you Lord for you are the one who has supplied this!

I forgot :)

to post the Thanksgiving pics...here they are. We had a nice relaxing day to ponder on the Lord and His goodness.

One more chance this year...

"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distress for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong." 2 Corinthians 12: 9-10 

in 5 days, on the 30th, our facilitator will try once again to submit us...this will be our very last try for this year. It is nothing personal against us that we are having a hard time being submitted...it has to do with all the new laws regarding the new authority..we have done all that we could do in our physical hands. I can say there was not one day that went by in the past almost 8 months that I was not doing all I could to bring my son home ASAP....I am thankful when it is all said and done, I can rest knowing that. Pray the Lord might honor and be pleased to have us submitted and if not, then pray we will be resting in Him as we wait a bit longer.

"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not" Galatians 6:9
