In our prayer time today, He led us to understand the privilege of using such a small window of our life to effect things that have lifelong, hopefully even eternal significance. Psalm 103:15 “as for man, his days are like grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourishes…v.17 “but the loving kindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting…”
“Father help us to glorify your Son by showing love to our future children, to those who hold our papers, to those who serve our food, to everyone we share life here with…and accomplish your will through our submission. Would you be our obedience, for we have none to offer that You have not begun in us already!”
As for now, we are praying for all our approvals to show up in one spot as soon as possible, but we also are praying for ways to wisely use time and distance to know our new children better and to demonstrate His love to them. As details come about, we will keep you posted. By the way, big surprise-the weather here is cold, gray, and snowy. Okay-so it is not a big surprise, but we are thankful to sleep warmly at night and we are grateful for your friendship as well.
Psalm 39:7 “and now, Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you.”

As Christ is being an encouragement to you, you are an encouragement to us. You are taking what He is giving to you and using it to minister to those around you there in the midst of what could easily be very frustrating. We are praying along with you.
I hope you know you encourage US back here in the states! You plow through dificult circumstances with grace, love and determination & glorify God in the process. Even now, I pray that our Lord and Saviour will supernaturally act to make the 'wheels' move faster there. I pray that He will reveal Himself to you more and more, and that all those around you will be influenced and changed by Him. I pray for you and with you daily. May He be glorified in all.
Chris and Vicki,
Just wanted to let you know that we are continuing to earnestly ask the Father to act on your behalf and get that court date. We hope that this time with the kids will really help to bond all of you as a family. I know that you are trusting God's perfect timing and provision. We'll check in on your other kids again this weekend.
Love you and miss you,
Ande and Paula
