Victory coming

Our court date has been delayed. The gov't has issued that all abandonment cases in the capital city of Ethiopia be re-investigated and cleared, along with a letter of clearance. There is thought to be some unethical practices going on. This is no suprise to our God. He's not wondering what to do now. I lay it at the feet of Jesus, Lord this is yours, I have no control but God you are over it. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man Ps 118:8. I take refuge in Him, I will not wait on man, I will wait upon the Lord! Many families are affected by this, my heart is with them all. One family in particular was one day away from court, their second try. I am learning something though. Just because we're adopting doesn't mean our life is all about our adoption. Sometimes I think we live, eat, breathe adoption. I have caught myself now losing focus of what I have now. My kids may think I'm a basketcase if I don't get it together. I have to stay strong for them, and for Travis. I have many gracious blessings to enjoy while I wait. So I will continue to live, and enjoy it. We will go camping this summer, have get togethers with friends, and continue to press ahead. Every day is another day closer to bringing our baby home. So we'll keep on going.
