This isn't exactly the date we wanted but I know that God knows best so we are trusting in His perfect timing and plan. Our court date is October 1. We will travel to Ethiopia sometime the end of September to meet our daughter! When I think about meeting her and holding her for the first time, I get completely overwhelmed that God would choose our family for her. That God would choose us to raise her, to love her, and to teach her about His ways - that blows my mind!
October 1 has many pluses - the cost of airfare is considerably lower which would make it easier for us to take Garrett on this trip. We have a lot more time to get donations together and we will for sure be able to meet our sponsored child in Ethiopia. All of these are great things! We serve a mighty God who loves us and works all things out for His glory and purpose.
There is a slight chance that we could have a court date of August 6. The in country staff with our agency is going to talk to the judge and courts to see if we can have that date because some families who received referrals after us received court dates before us and they really want to get as many families into court before closures. Whatever God chooses to do, we will follow His plan and give Him praise. After all, He's got the whole world in His hands!
