Waiting List Number: November 2013

Can I just start by thanking all of you who prayed for movement yesterday? You are some seriously effective prayer warriors. Yesterday, I was fairly certain that we were going to get an email today letting us know that we were sitting at #31 for yet another month. I spent the better part of today refreshing my email with a growing knot in my stomach. I knew being at number 31 was a real possibility, but my soul was just not ready for it. I want my children home so much it hurts. I mean that. Physically hurts.

Well, today we are two steps closer to having them home with us for good.

 We are number 29!!

Excited enough to do two pictures! 

And the sweetest Daisy girl sticking her tongue out at me. 

I know it might not make much sense, but there is something about breaking into a new decade that makes me feel like we are SO much closer. Crazy right? But I don't care. For today, I am clinging to that feeling. 

November 1, 2013 will forever be a day that this family got GOOD NEWS! 

"Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.

The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders,
the Lord thunders over the mighty waters.

The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic.

The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

He makes Lebanon leap like a calf,
Sirion like a young wild ox.

The voice of the Lord strikes
with flashes of lightning.

The voice of the Lord shakes the desert; the Lord shakes the Desert of Kadesh.

The voice of the Lord twists the oaks and strips the forests bare.
And in his temple all cry, “Glory!”

The Lord sits enthroned over the flood; the Lord is enthroned as King forever.

The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace."

Psalm 29

Love,
