LOA! LOA! LOA!

At 2:00 yesterday afternoon I received a call from our China Coordinator that our LOA's have arrived!!! We are hopeful that this put us in a position to travel late October to mid November! Our next wait is for TA(travel authorization)....This could take up to 8 weeks. Thank you to all of y'all who were praying for us!! We are excited and humbled to bring two of God's precious treasures home!!! Now, where is that extra $20,000 that we had lying around?! Ha, not!.... It's ok. As my kiddos would say - "IT'S ALL GOOD!" God knows exactly what we need...
He is FAITHFUL and He did NOT put us on this path to just abandon us at the finish line. This I know for sure.....

Archer and Abel, we love you and can't wait to take care of you forever!!!

Blessings,

An Emptiness in My Heart...

We are on day 35 of our wait to receive our Letters of Approval to adopt Archer and Abel and the waiting is starting to get really hard. It is a difficult thing to explain how you can love someone that you have never actually met but I do....immensely. Although I have not seen our boys face to face, God has placed an overwhelming love for them in my heart. Just as I loved my biological children before they were ever placed in my arms for the first time, I love these two precious boys. The Lord has surely begun an intertwining of our hearts and is preparing me to become their Momma and I can. not. wait.......Until then, I can trust Him to watch over our two precious treasures, and what a comfort that is to this momma.

In His Grip,





"A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling."~Psalm 68:5
