If you heard all of the stories of delays, mix-ups, etc. that go along with adoption, you'd STILL think this one was wild!
So, today my dear friends Bethany and Holly were to have court dates for their kiddos in ET. However, last night the MOWA representative that was to sign off on their adoptions in court today was ARRESTED. That's right, friends, he was arrested and so (funny enough) did not show up for court. This means their cases were not heard.
Bethany Taylor was rescheduled, by some miracle, for Friday.
Holly Sapp, however, was rescheduled for January 16th, two weeks and a few days from today. If we all pass, this would put us in the same travel group. I am so sad for the delay but so ELATED that we might get to travel together. I really love her and her sweet daughter is beyond beautiful. The thought of being THERE when they are united gives me goose bumps!
Sometimes it's tempting to doubt God's sovereign control over this crazy, unexpected, unfair world. Each time I do that, however, I give a little of my faith away, something my sons and heart cannot afford.
So, today I am choosing to remember the God of Daniel and the Lions den. Surely if our God can shut a lion's mouth, He can preside over some paperwork in Ethiopia.

Hey thanks for the uplifting comment on our blog! I have really enjoyed watching your journey through the adoption process. You have become such a such an encourager on YG and I am very thankful for that! God is in control and He will work all the details out for each of us. Who knows... maybe this person at MOWA is one that continues to mess things up and maybe now God has them out of our way :) You never know!!!
Blessings,
Kim
