"Stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." 1 Corinthians 15:58
"Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all you ways acknowledge him and he will make your path straight." Proverbs 3:5-6
"Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare." Psalm 40:5
In talking with our case manager, I asked her to tell me realistically when she thought we would travel. She said that June was the most likely time of our travel. When we first got our referral, we were thinking May, but I think things are slowing down at MOWA (Ethiopian courts), thus our travel is getting pushed back. So, we're now thinking June and praying hard that it happens before July when the courts close for two months in Ethiopia. Thank you again for your prayers for our family and our little precious "A."

June will come fast....but I know not fast enough for a mother. I am thankful that you have peace. I pray that we too will have that same peace. I really want to travel before courts close, but if we don't get a referral soon, that won't be happening.

You will see that June will come soon and baby A will be on your arms pretty soon.
Continue to have faith and be encouraged for the Lord will unite you before long. He is a wonderous God who continues to amaze me each and every day.

You have been waiting 9 days longer than us. January flew by, February rushed by, March...Hey! What happened to March? April is already moving fast. You will know your travel dates in May. When you think about it, God has given you just enough time to truly prepare yourselves, your family, and your precious baby A. I wish I could say that I hope we could travel together, but honestly I hope you get to travel in May!
