In the past few weeks we have updated our fingerprints, homestudy, and child abuse clearances. It seems like we had just finished doing all of that, but it had been a year and some things needed to be resubmitted.
We are still finishing some of these things, so we do not have our first travel dates yet. We are hoping to go as soon as possible, but it is all in God's timing. We can't wait to meet our sons!
As we are preparing for the trip, I am working on applying for grants. I was just going over the costs we have paid so far, the upcoming costs, and our current savings amount. We are very, very short of what we will need to bring three boys home. This is where God comes in. If I were only relying on what Kevin and I could do, I would be having a small panic attack right now. But we know that we cannot do this on our own. These are God's children and if He wants us to care for them, then He will supply all our needs. This is by far the biggest God opportunity that I have ever experienced.
Here is where you can help us. Will you pray with us that God meets our needs? I know that He owns the cattle on a thousand hills, so this is nothing to Him! Please pray that the funds I apply for are granted. Please pray that God uses this opportunity to show that He still moves in ways we could never imagine. Please pray that these little boys will be able to come home soon.
I can't wait to see what God is going to do! Thank you!
Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21
