WOW!!!!!

I serve an AWESOME and MIGHTY GOD!
Is there really any question that his heart is for the orphan?

I feel somewhat like the Grinch at the end of How the Grinch Stole Christmas.  You know the line where it says "that the Grinch's small heart grew three sizes that day"  Well, God has grown my faith three sizes through this adoption.

Someday soon, I will post more of the details.  I'll try to do it before we leave.  But here is the latest update:


We have our Article 5!!!!!



And our Travel Approval!!!!




And our Consulate Appointment!!!!



Now is God AWESOME OR WHAT!?!?!??!

Wife of the Pres. said...

I knew it! Yes God is AWESOME!!! IN every sense of the word.

The Scripture that comes to my mind is the one about even kings actions come under His authority.

OK, I found it: Romans 13:1--"Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God."

I love how He is showing you that you are on the right and true path.

Continued Prayers, Leslie
