Three.....


We are number three on our agency's "unofficial" waiting list for our referral! I simply cannot believe it!iA week ago, we were number seven.  During the Africa team meeting at our church on Sunday, we were praying for a team member and Mike Spencer, our worship and discipleship pastor, prayed for orphans and specifically our child and for a fellow team member who had a spot on his liver surface and was having follow up testing the following day.  He prayed that we would move swiftly from number seven to number one and we are well on our way! Mike also prayed that our fellow team member would be healed.  He is healed, they couldn't find a spot and we are swiftly moving our way up.

I am so excited to see what next week brings! Here are some fun facts from our adoption group.  In the last week (4/30-5/7):
* 3 children came home!!
* 7 families are on their way to Ethiopia to bring their children home!
* 12 families were given a court date!!
* 7 families received a referral!!
* the Top 10 Waiting for referral list was completely decimated!  6 new families were added to the list!!  A new 'Queen' of the top 10 was also crowned.  May your regin be short, Tarr family!!
* 4 more families are DTE (or will be very very soon)!!

Praying that this movement keeps happening!

We are coming baby girl! I can't wait to see your face!!!

How very exciting! All the movement in our YG ~ and how swiftly you are moving up on the list! I got goosebumps when you posted about the prayer for your daughter and for the fellow member in your church having his liver healed! GOD IS SOOOO GOOD!

PRAYING FOR THE REMAINDER OF YOUR WAIT TO YOUR BABY GIRL TO BE SHORT!
