Things have escalated...


Since my last post things have escalated with the investigation of abandoned children. The Ethiopian Government is now not allowing any new referrals of abandoned children or the processing of current court cases in the entire area of Addis Ababa until the investigation is complete. We still don't have many details from our agency so I don't want to post rumors or other stories that are going around. But as you can imagine our minds are spinning...and I am not sleeping well.

I know in my mind that God will work this out. In His way. Not mine. It's just hard living this news out with joy and with hope. Because in my head I'm also going "What if this...and What if that".

In the past week a few court cases have passsed of children that were not abandoned so that remains to be positive news. These kids will soon be coming home to their forever families. In the meantime we are holding on to eachother. Hoping. Waiting. Praying. And giving thanks in the best way we know how.

Here's a picture of Sahara I took Monday afternoon outside. God has truly blessed us with her!

Hey.

God's timing is good. I know you know that.

You may be sick of hearing it, but HANG IN THERE! Enjoy life today, it WILL dramatically change.

Keep praying for all your kids. That is the best advice I can give.

Hoping for you that you have your dreams met soon. It will come.
