Beauty For Ashes...

"...beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor." Isaiah 61:3

"IT"

Well people:  IT happened.  After over 5 months- IT finally happened.  Tears have been shed, miles have been run, and driven.  Phone calls have been made, and tempers have been hot at times... but IT finally happened.  That's right, our homestudy has been approved by our country coordinator- Robyn.  So now, we just need her signature.  That's it.  Signature and original copies- mailed to Robyn.  Then Robyn can get the home study approval letter that we need!  Grants- here we come!!

PS- I wrote the last 2 posts a couple days ago but for some reason on other peoples blog rolls- it still says 1 week ago.  So just in case you missed them- check them out.

  5. Linders- I never could honestly say before that I understood your pain and grief. Through God's provision, I understand. I weep with you. I too am so frustrated with the system and the children that wait day after day to have homes. I know I have three treasures, but there is a hole in my heart that only Sierra will fill and this home is not complete until she is here. I am thankful that I have gained some perspective into your journey and know better how to pray for you and Chris. I love you friend...
