We may not be able to save every child, but we can respond one at a time. Do not be discouraged by numbers, but instead be encouraged that when we feed, visit, love and clothe an orphan- we did it for Christ. I tell you the truth- whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. Matthew 25:40

We accepted our referral

You read that right...we got "the call" on Tuesday at 3:58pm cst and after having our IA Dr review her photos and medicals we signed and accepted yesterday morning. We are unsure of exact travel dates but know our 1st trip will be in September! The next few days will be filled with more paperwork, finishing things I started at home and getting A's room done. I am so super excited I can not believe we have a daughter 1000's of miles away and God delivered her to our family. We honor such an amazing Lord and He has blessed our family beyond words. I'm feeling a flood of emotions, happy, excited, scared, overwhelmed, unorganized and fear of the unknown but God holds the plan and I know that if I just let Him lead us everything will be done according to His will. Thanks Lord for the most precious gift...a daughter!
