Praise the LORD!!

Our court date passed!!

We have a verbal conformation! We are SOOO Excited! What happens next is... Our kids will be transferred to the Thomas Center right away, which is a staging area for kids who are waiting for there families. We are right now waiting for our 'Embassy date.' Which we think we will receive in a week and our agency thinks it will be February 2nd. We would travel a week before that, So hopefully the end of January!! As soon as we get the 'Embassy date' we get our travel dates!!

I am both laughing and crying! I just can't wait! Its been a long journey and we are Finlay here! Please keep our kids in prayers as they wait for us.

Today my parents are legally parents of nine kids!

So with permission I will now show you my new siblings!

Immediately

Matthew 4:22
And Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

Immediately... Right away no hesitation... Could I do that?
For bible study I had to choose a verse to meditate on. I chose this on... Kinda skipping over the meaning and what really happened here. Then it hit me.... Would I drop everything and go do what God asks me too? Would I be like the man in Matthew who wanted to bury is father first... Can I drop the things that would be hard to let go? When God tells to do something it's for the better... Sometimes we have something we don't want to let go of, but God's trying to show you that he has something WAY better over here! Yes, it's hard to let go.. but can't we see he's God... He knows what he's doing. And I think, we should completely trust him, and follow Immediately.
