HOPE!

Ok so there is hope at the end of the tunnel...........

We have recieved an e-mail from us cis and they have said that they were just wanting to make sure we didn't pass court without approval from them.......indicating now that we haven't been denied...and we haven't been approved....

This is CRAZY!!! So there is HOPE!!!! WE are going to CLING TO THAT and know that we are THRILLED just to be in the inbetween right now. WE are HAPPY to just think that we can still be approved, and knowing that we have such an awesome prayer team along with us for this crazy roller coaster called adoption!

You know there are times in everyone's lives when you feel like something can happen....and we are praying that is the case. We know in our hearts that we were meant to have Naomi as our child. We know without a shadow of a doubt that we completely can support her - financially, physically, emotionally, and spiritually! We know that we have 8 children because God has called them into our lives and us into theirs. God does not make mistakes......and we are sooo glad for every ounce of energy used to seek HIM in all we do. WE are EXCITED that there is ALWAYS HOPE!!!!!!!!

Will be back in the blog world soon.......have to catch up on everything going on in your lives that we have missed......can't wait, but for now........we are PRAYING & CLINGING TO HOPE!!!!!!!!!!

  7. As I was praying for you last week, this verse came to mind:
    Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
    Proverbs 13:11-13

    I do feel like this is just "hope deferred" and that your desire..Naomi...will be fulfilled!! Praying in agreement with you!

  10. That sounds more like it!
    I was worried, we are applying for US*IS approval for China in a few weeks and I didn't know they just turn you down for no reason, was hoping this isn't the start of a trend.
    Will keep praying
