We are ever so grateful for this Easter season as we reflect on the LOVE that God, our Father, has for us! So much, He loves us, that He sent His son Jesus to rescue us from sin that separates us from joining with our Father in Heaven. What a day to rejoice and celebrate the Jesus rose from the grave and conquered sin and death!! A NEW LIFE given to those who believe so we may spend eternity with our Heavenly Father! A family united!
On the Saturday before Easter Sunday we received a special letter in the mail that moves us forward in our adoption process! The US Embassy letter that shows our case has been reviewed and passed investigations!! SUCH. A. Great. DAY!! We are thrilled and praising our God for making a way for our family to be united and for little Tarik to start his new life as a precious son!
Today we mailed out that letter that then gets some run-around here in the states before being sent to Ethiopia. Next steps, court dates!! The first court date will be scheduled for the courts in Ethiopia to hold investigations concerning our case. These investigations ensure that our boy is truly an orphan, eligible for adoption, and that international adoption is the best option for him. The second court date will be the court date that Todd and I will travel to appear before the court to be the new family for Tarik!!
Please be praying as these next steps are HUGE in our process!! We truly rely on the Lord's guidance and we need this process covered in prayers. These last steps appear so 'easy' but they are not and each are crucial. We pray protection against any interruptions from God's perfect timing and praise HIM for making the paths clear ahead of us!
Psalm 18:2 "The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."
