So Much To Be Thankful For

There has been quite a bit of activity for the families waiting for children. Referrals, court dates, travel, so exciting!!!
Now we wait for travel calls for several who have passed court!! This week we pray they receive travel dates.

Also, several are going to have court hearings in the next two weeks. We pray God's favor falls on them and the Bethany staff so that all the families pass court the first time.
Last Thursday a bunch of us adopting mothers met at a local coffee shop. Can't tell you how encouraging it is to get together with everyone. We have so much in common and I know God put us together to encourage each other and fulfill His hearts cry of adoption. Isn't it great Jesus died for us and God has adopted us into His family? We are able to call him Dad and be loved and love.
Matt and I are believing for a referral very soon. With God, all things are possible. We are thankful for a wonderful agency to work with and the grace of God in our lives.
This week was Tulip Time in Holland. We watched the parade and had a ton of fun with friends and family. I snapped this picture of Isaac and my mother-in-law.
This is one of my favorite new verses.
Proverbs 30:4 "Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if you know?"
