The power was out all day in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia so we have no news of our court hearing. Hopefully, we will hear first thing in the morning. I have to admit this waiting is hard, but it has been good for my faith. The Lord has been exercising my faith and it is so hard to die to myself.
The Lord was very gracious to me today by extending me mercy and giving me a peaceful heart all day. I got anxious for about 30 mins and then was quickly reminded to be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. So, I sought the Lord and His Word to comfort my heart and He was and always is faithful. We will rest in Christ tonight and wait for the Lord to answer us tomorrow.
I am anticipating that the son in our hearts will be legally ours tomorrow, Lord willing.
Our family's adoption journey. This is about God, His faithfulness and His Sovereignty in our lives. We are praying it is His will to bring home two children from Ethiopia. ...having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He has made us accepted in the Beloved. Ephesians 1:5-6

WHY ETHIOPIA? WHY NOT ETHIOPIA?
Our first reason is God called us to go
There are approx. 4.6 million orphans due to AIDS and poverty
One in six children die before they turn 5
One in ten children die before they turn 1
Millions still die of starvation each year
Half the children in Ethiopia will never have an opportunity to attend school
Some parts still practice female circumcision
82% of the population survives on less than 1 dollar a day
Only 1/4 of the entire population has access to safe drinking water
Ethiopia’s doctor to children ratio is 1 to 24,000
Children and family are honored above all else threre
1 in 3 people are HIV+ , the average life expectency is between 37-42.
If I lived in Ethiopia, I may have died this year!
