Sooo happy for you guys! It's been such a long time coming! You have been on many people's hearts and minds (including ours) throughout your entire wait. God is so good ALL the time!
P.S.--We have the same court date! Praying we both pass 1st go-round.
Oh wow. My heart is much less heavy now that you have a court date - can't imagine how your hearts feel! We're ALL still "Journeying With You," now to July 24 - in a blink it will be here. Prayers are with the three of you. Love, Janet
Susan - I am so happy for you! I can't believe it's been almost a year since we held your sweet little girl & I'm praying that you'll be holding her very soon. We'll actually be in Fort Collins on your court date & will be praying fervently for God's will to be done.
Just was thinking about you two (well you three) today. Stay Strong in the LORD!
Oh, when you all get to Addis, if you are able to attend any Sunday Worship Service, visit Beza International Church---their 11:00 a.m. service was a true blessing for our family!
I've been following your journey ever since we met at DIA last August when we were returning from Ethiopia with our son. July 24, yeah!! You are in our thoughts!
Praying that the Lord will continue to open the doors for you and bring you your hearts desire! Always in our thoughts and prayers, Leslie & Kevin McDermott
