It's a Date.....

In the midst of the holiday season, we spent a little time preparing for the upcoming months, specifically cooking for a month (well, actually it was more like two months but I digress). On the day when we were cooking, JT casually told me that our friends in Uganda had a referral for us of a little girl. He gave me all the specifics that he knew, and that was the end of the conversation....

In adoption world, a referral can be lost or declined or well, in our case, it can take forever to get and even longer to get to court. So, I put in the back of my mind and continued to pray for a court date soon to get Zeke.

However, the lawyer and officers in the court system saw fit to put the court cases together ALREADY!!! That's God's timing and not ours. We found this out three days later. So, on January 20th, we will head to court in Uganda to adopt TWO precious children, Zeke and Elly.

This is God's answer to a year's worth of prayers. I am overwhelmed by the prospect of becoming a mom to five children, but know that God's grace is sufficient. He IS enough! I rest in His promises right now and know that He knows exactly what I need!

So, JT and I will be flying out of Birmingham on January 20th. The plan is for me to return the following week to take care of our three children here. JT will stay in Uganda to care for our little ones there. We pray that the process will be smooth sailing.....okay, adoption veterans, insert laughter here.

We hope that I will be able to fly to London or Dallas to meet up with JT and the kids on the way home. Then, we will all come home together at the end of February. Please pray that God will show Himself faithful (as always) and He will be glorified!
