Quick Update

We are slowly but surely crossing off the checklist items, with just a few lingering. Two requirements will be completed this week: an orientation meeting on Tuesday night that every person has to attend with the agency (even though we've already done all of our paperwork ~ we're doing things backwards) and then an adoption training class on Thursday.

I remember when we did our first orientation in February of last year ~ how excited and overwhelmed we were. As I went back and re-read the post, my thoughts and feelings still ring true.

"Even with the huge packet of forms, applications, requirements, and lists of things to do, Michael & I are still so encouraged and excited about the journey the Lord is taking us down. He has truly blessed us. We believe with confidence that our children are being prepared for us, even now, as we are being prepared for them.

“Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” (Mark 11:24)

We thank God for our children and pray that they are protected until He brings them to us. While we are trusting, God is working, and in due time our faith will become sight.

It is only human to want to see before we step out on the promises of God. Yet God said to Thomas and to a long list of other doubters, “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” (John 20:29)."

Still Believing........
