Help bring our girls home!

Wednesday, September 19, 2012

 We received an email from the US Embassy in Addis Ababa early this morning that states Kyah's orphan status is being reviewed!  All the documents have made it to where they need to be and now we pray all of them are complete, thorough, well organized and obvious to them that Kyah needs to have us for her mom and dad!  I pray that the persons reviewing them are compassionate and have the best intent for helping orphans. They reminded us that additional information or documents may be necessary in completing this process.  I pray that all her papers are in order, simple to understand and that no further investigating is necessary!  Lord God, please make it clear to those going through her file that she needs to leave the orphanage and come home!  Soon!

Todd and I have been dreaming of going back to Ethiopia to get Kyah and talking about it often in the past few days.   It's consuming.  Part of our family is way on the other side of the world!  I look through our pictures from Africa and realize just how much I am missing.  We really love it there and are anxious to go back for many reasons.  
God is good....all the time!  He will sustain us as He has for the past 23 months of being DTE!  And when I think of the little blessing we are about to bring home....Yes!  God is good....all the time!!

  1. Thank you for the updates! We are so excited for your family! Wanted to share a quote I ran across the other day...
    “And I can always give thanks because an all-powerful God always has all these things – all things – always under control.”
    Praying everything goes smoothly!
