My heart is so HOPEFUL. Mostly because I am an eternal optimist and believe the best is going to happen. I spoke with Nicco (our contact in Ethiopia) today. He said he has good news. They have finally received a document that could be the a key step in the process of completing our adoption. Now this may work and it may not work. But it is something they are trying and they are making progress in. Pray that this will help make the progress we need.
In our conversation, Nicco said that Geremew and Tizita's mother was with him and that she was going to see them tomorrow. I am glad this is going to happen, but I am unsure about what this experience is going to be like for Geremew and Tizita. I'm sure there will be joy and sadness. I am afraid that the Evil one will invade them with thoughts of abandonment and the feeling that they are all alone ... all over again. Please pray tonight before you go to bed for God to protect their hearts and minds and remind them of his care for them though those who are fighting to adopt them.
Thanks for walking with us.

Thanks for being a fanatic...you encourage my heart. I thought of you as I read Galatians 4 the other day and Romans 8 yesterday. (NEWTHRU30 is kicking my butt...i love it!)
I should've included, "adopting 2 children when you already have 4 because you know it is what God wants for you" to my list of those things that "FANATICS" do.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. [Rom. 15:13]
