We got a referral today for a 3 month old baby girl!!!!!!! We still have so much to do so it will be quite some time until we are able to travel.
Please pray for lots of peace and patience.
Knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, Lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given him ~ James 1:3-5

Our next huge stack of paper went to Illien today. I have writers cramp from all the signatures we had to sign :-). Now it's just waiting until our home study is finished, lots of cleaning and praying time.
2 My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade at your right hand.
6 The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.
8 The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.
Psalm 121
1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help?2 My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade at your right hand.
6 The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.
8 The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.

OK as I think how to keep everyone update on our adventure I am overwhelmed I want to tell everyone every little exciting detail...but that is way to much! So I am going to steal my amazing friend, Nancy's idea, who has gone before us and helped to pave the way to Ethiopia, and just give you brief updates as we go.
Late August of 2008 – God put Ethiopia on our hearts
September 2008 - Completely lost in stacks and stacks of packets from different adoptions agency….What to do? Is this really what Gods wants us to do or am completely CRAZY?
September 15, 2008 – It’s a God thing! I notice Nancy’s beautiful daughter Eden on Everdawns facebook page.
September 15, 2008 – I can see the light, Nancy helps me get on track and recommends some amazing reading.
September 18-23, 2008 – 2 conferences in Denver so lots of reading time and soul searching.
October 6, 2008 – Chose Illien for our agency after talking with 3 others I was discouraged because I just didn’t feel good about any of them, then I called Illien and knew within 30 seconds of talking to Susan that this was the right agency for us.
October 15, 2008 – It’s in the mail, our first application now the wait.
October 16, 2008 – WOW short wait…Thank you so much God! We’re approved. Now on to the home study.
October 23, 2008 – Medical for both agencies is done, everything that we can do so far for our home study is done. Now we just wait until the home study is completed.
October 28, 2008 - All our paperwork is completed for our home study and sent in.
