He's walking!

Last week we received some photos from a couple who is still in Taraz waiting it out. It was pure JOY to see Timur again and this time standing on his own and walking. We miss him terribly but it is nice to know that our friends are checking in on him and updating us whenever possibly.

We won't be hearing from the judge for awhile. It was suggested that we "lay low" for a bit in hopes that the situation changes for the best which may then help our case. It is hard waiting..very hard, but we will try and be patient and pray that God continues to work in a mighty way.

be amazed

A friend share this verse with me yesterday:

Hab. 1:5 "Look at the nations and watch- and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told."

We were suppose to hear our decision from the judge today, but the hearing was canceled due to the fact that the people who were suppose to be there (baby house people, Department of Education, etc.) were attending appeal hearings for four other families. So we continue to wait. "Maybe tomorrow," we were told.

Looking back, we would have never expected we would be in this place of waiting and wondering what is going to happen next. I knew adopting wasn't exactly easy, but I had no idea! We had a plan- or so we thought and it's not quite working out the way we thought. This verse in Habakkuk reminds me that God IS working and this his plan is amazing. He is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or can imagine. And so we continue to wait trusting in Him and his perfect timing. -wendy

Hope

"I have it. Haven't lost it". Those were the words of one of our fellow Taraz adopting friends and I echo her words. We are still hopeful.

We received an email this week stating that there is a hearing scheduled regarding our case on July 7. We assume this will be for a decision from the judge. We covet your prayers...again.

Rom 15:13 "May the God of HOPE fill you with all JOY and PEACE in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit, you may abound in HOPE."
