luggage, airplanes & travel... oh my!

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God...will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4: 6-7

we got word today.

our daughter's birth certificate has been issued.

they are working on securing her passport.

our tentative Embassy date is July 6th.

*I know this sounds to most like alot of "adoption lingo"

this is what it means;

once a birth certificate & passport are issued, we receive our invitation to travel.

there are only two travel dates/Embassy appointments available in July.

July 6th is the first.

(and we weren't expecting to get it)

We have spoken to a suggested Travel agent & have put on hold our tickets for departure.

As of right now, we will take off for Ethiopia on Wednesday, June 30th!

Oh My Goodness!!!!

It's hard to believe this is happening....

we are excited!

we are nervous!

we are elated!

we are so many things.

we are so very close to holding our daughter in our arms!

***So much to do, so little time!

we'll let you know when we know more, and plans are more definite!

Please keep us in your prayers.

Trusting in the Lord...
