There are really no words to adequately describe the mixture of emotions and thoughts racing through my heart right now.

Some of our closest friends "met" their son yesterday....it is so unbelievably exciting, I am still in shock....he is soooooo cute and we are all so blessed to know him now! Go congratulate the Butlers if you haven't already and read about their awesome moment. And their newest son's journey so closely matches another dear friend's son's story.....their boys will get to be best buddies!!! I am AMAZED to see God's work and His love for these two very precious boys!

Look at the nations and watch -
and be utterly amazed.

that you would not believe,
even if you were told. Habakkuk 1:5
So here comes the mixture of emotions and thoughts...the roller coaster well described by a much better blogger....we are so thrilled one moment....and sad the next....trusting and hoping....scared and frustrated. With our adoption things are quiet right now....no new news today....we had hoped to hear good news after the weekend.....news that might give us hope for the very slim possibility of passing court this week. We have court in 2 days....we still need 2 documents....we have neither....so today as I am praying (and trying to complete a very boring online defensive driving class)....but as I am praying:) I realize, yes, I need to let go of hoping that the slim chance will happen....I need to accept that we are 2 days away with nothing that we need. I need to let go and accept God's very confusing plan in this journey to bring our babies home....so today I am sad for us....still praying for a miracle and praying for peace....

I too was praying for a miracle for your family this morning, pleading with the Lord to allow these last documents to get done, allow your precious family to pass court and travel to get your kids so soon!

Again, I'm so proud of the testimony you all have been. He has been glorified immensely in the way you have chosen to be authentic, real, and trust in these really hard, long days.

Love you guys.

I am sad for you too! God wants us to trust Him, but He also gave us these emotions. I believe that it is ok to feel them. Then, hopefully peace will come.
I do pray for a miracle--for God to show how big He is and make this happen!
I'm glad you are rejoicing with others!
