We are very thankful for all the prayers and support that we have received and continue to receive during this adventure. We are truly blessed - thank you Jesus! While we may not understand why this whole journey to bring two little ones home from across the globe can be so difficult, we know there is a reason. I catch myself not following the advice I routinely give - that you grow in your faith when things don't go as you have "planned". You must remain faithful because you were never in control in the first place; that's what makes God sovereign. Isn't it so much easier giving advice to others? - another way He humbles me.
Monica and I remember a blog that we have been reading for a number of months - from a family who adopted siblings from Russia over two years ago. I remember reading the comment that said that adoption will "stretch" you beyond what you think you can go; but through it all you realize that this growth. How true that has become.
Some of you know that we still are not certain we will be able to adopt these two little ones. All we know is that there should be a decision by July as to the legal status of the little boy. Also since these little ones are siblings, what ever happens with him affects her as well. Monica and myself continue to ask you for prayers, because as my best friend reminded me again this week, God is faithful and he hears the prayers of His children. As soon as we find out something we will post.
Serving the King
Russ and Monica
