We have a Court Date!!

So we heard from our agency that we have a court date on May 29th!! It is so amazing because court cases right now are usually scheduled about 6 weeks out and ours is in only 2 weeks. We are rejoicing in the Lord's goodness and mercy. If we pass court (which only about half pass the first time) then the boys will be legally ours at this time. The Lord willing we will go about 5 or so weeks after that to Ethiopia to go and get them when we will finally be together as a family of 4.

This week we definitely faced some days of testing as we heard about some possible delays...but we were so thankful for the joy and peace from our gracious Heavenly Father. Once again He has shown Himself faithful and good, removing those mountains even with our small faith.

For all of you who have prayed for us on this journey...thank you! We see it as no coincidence that 2 days after we all fasted and prayed together we see the Lord's marvelous workings. Please continue to pray for:

*our court date...the Lord's will be done
*health for our babies-Nehemiah was pretty sick last week, praise the Lord he is doing better
*preparing for our trip and lots of details
*beginning the wonderful journey of being parents
*quick bonding with Ezekiel and Nehemiah


The JOY of the LORD is our STRENGTH.
Nehemiah 8:10
