but, it's not......we did not pass court today. We are a couple steps closer though, and have a new court date of next Friday, August 7th. Please pray that the document that is needed will be back in Addis and we hopefully will have a good court approval next Friday. Thanks friends for your prayers; in the midst of just being sad that we got delayed - I want to thank the Lord for the fact some positives took place today and we truly took a few steps forward. Thankful for His hand in that - and that His timing is perfect.........but, back to the old hand grenade thing......close doesn't work in this case. So - we move on to next Friday.
Also had some good conversations with Beau and Nat today on our thoughts on bringing the girls.....I think we are both leaning towards not bringing them.....don't have the ability to have someone come with us - but, will continue to pray and process....the delay gives us another week to wrestle on that (so......there you have it...another thing to praise!).
Kidmia update......raising funds for them has gone well - excited about total amount given towards Kidmia between us all is over $6k.....way cool.
If you feel led - check out prior post and the link to give towards Kidmia and caring for other loved ones in Gunchire, Ethiopia.

I'm so sorry. I will keep you in my prayers for a positive court decision in August!
That is SO hard to have to wait. God is so good and does have his perfect timing and I cling to that so much. It sounds like you can already see His hand in the delay. Your wonderful hearts are shining through this as an example to many of us waiting. We will pray that this next court day will be blessed!
So sorry to hear of this delay! Praying next Friday is the day.
Thinking about you all and praying.
Oh man! So sorry to hear that you will have to wait a little longer. Praying next week is YOUR week!
Sad for you guys, but excited as we look to next week! God's timing is perfect and he can do all things. We are praying!
So sorry for the delay. I love that you can see positives in spite of the disappointment. Now that our kids are home, we have had many opportunities to look back and see God's hand weave the perfect timing for our family.
Thinking of you!
Oh, so sorry, but thank goodness you got rescheduled so soon.
That is a tough decision about bringing the kiddos or not. We brought ours and it was WONDERFUL!!! But ours were 12, 10 and 8 at the time, if they were much younger, we may have made a totally different decision. You will do what is best for YOUR family.
Hoping for a great Friday for you!
Be the day!!!
Praying that today is your day
