Court Date Cancelled

This morning we excitedly gathered items we bought last night for our trip and began packing for our imminent departure next Saturday. Around noon we received a phone call informing us that our court date has fallen through, and we would not be able to travel next Saturday as planned. We are unable to give details publically due to the sensitivity of the political issues surrounding Ethiopian adoptions right now. There's no way of knowing at this point in time when we may be able to receive another court date. This news is painfully discouraging. We have chosen to see Christ through the lens of His truth instead of through the lens of our circumstances and we are confident that even in this He is still good, and He is still working all of these things out for our good and His glory.


Please pray:

-That by a miracle, all obstacles will be removed, and the many families affected by this news will be granted another court date soon.

- That God would hold our children, and the hundreds of other orphans like them who are waiting to be brought home. We know the Lord despises oppression, and longs for justice for the fatherless (Is 10:1-2).

- That God would help us to persevere in the midst of these blows growing more in love and trust in Jesus and more conformed into His image.
