Court Date is Wednesday

Joy on her way to school.

Wednesday, February 19th (hopefully) is our court date.  The Judge has said he will hear our case again and hopefully sign the "permission to leave country" papers needed so we can finally move on to the Embassy process.  Would you all please PRAY?!  We have been stuck in this part of the court process since August and are ready to finally move on! Beyond ready actually!!!

Here is how you can specifically pray for us:
1.  For all the people who need to be there- that they will show up, have all needed documents, and be willing to hear our case.
2.  That the Judge will grant us the permission we need and sign the papers needed for the next step.  (Or better yet- that he will bless us with a full and final adoption decree!)
3.  That the documents will be completed accurately and in a timely manner (we have had to have MANY corrections made, like spelling errors etc. at each step and it is a very slow process to have corrections made!)
4.  That we (Becky especially) will have peace and assurance from the Lord as we wait another anxiety filled day- until we hear news.  News is often very slow in coming!!
5. That no matter what happens on the 19th (more delays, etc.) the kids(and we) will continue to trust that the Lord has called us to this and HE WILL DO IT!!!  HE IS BIGGER!- Bigger than the roadblocks of the enemy, than disorganized systems, than our fears, our plans.  And His ways are always good and perfect!  Thank you Pastor Kevin for this great reminder.  Our Father loves us all more than we can imagine and He is in control! Praise!!  I am so thankful we can fully trust Him!
6.  Join us in giving Praise to the Lord for HE IS GOOD!  His love and mercy endures forever!!

Thanks friends and family!!
