"Pure and lasting religion in the sight of God our Father means that we must care for orphans and widows in their troubles, and refuse to let the world corrupt us." James 1:27

DTE March 11, 2011!!!

In adoption speak this means our dossier will be going to Ethiopia on March 11. I can't believe it!! Our last paperwork and check will be arriving at our agency on Monday, then it has to be authenticated in DC before traveling across the pond :)How did we get here you ask? God. Within a few weeks He provided the money we needed through a matching grant and other monetary gifts. That's just how He works. One of the largest gifts we received was from people we don't even know! It is nothing we could have planned for or foreseen. He will do it His way and in His timing. I can't emphasize enough that God is our provider, Jehovah-Jireh. If adoption has ever been on your heart, please prayerfully consider what God wants you to do. The money may not be there to do it, but God will be, and He will bless you exceedingly above what you could ever imagine. My heart is so touched by ALL of the people who have helped our son get one step closer to home. Seeing hearts break for orphans that never really considered what it all meant, it's all so beyond us. If you have helped at all, whether it be prayers or monetarily, THANK YOU!
