We received our form back from Homeland Security and finished preparing our documents for Secretary of State. We had everything ready to be sent out last Friday only to find out that each document that has been notarized by another state, has to be sent to that state to be authenticated! It seems this paperwork continues to get harder and more complicated as we go. It has definitely been a journey through this adoption process and not an easy one, but we continue to move forward by the grace of God.
Our Amazing God continues to bless us through this adoption process and HIS timing is perfect. We recently found out that we still need about $4000.00 to send in our Dossier to Ethiopia. Then on the same day we found out that our paperwork was wrong and had to be sent to different states we also received a letter in the mail. We were awarded a grant from Families Outreach to help with our adoption! We are so thankful, grateful and blessed! It doesn't cover what we are short but it is a step in the right direction and another testimony that our God will provide!

The Word is always such an encouragement to us!
Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary. Isaiah 40:31
“Therefore
I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink;
or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than
food, and the body more important than clothes? Look
at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in
barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more
valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If
that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and
tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you,
O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:25-34
