Almost there!

Woohoo....our dossier has been submitted for translation and will soon be seen by the appointed officials!!   I can't believe we have finally gotten it all done. It seemed like it took forever.....so thankful to have this part behind us!  We are excited that the next step will be a visit with our girl.
People often ask us....why??  Why are we doing this?  Why are we going to so much trouble and expense? Why would you want another child at your age?   We are ok with these questions. We know that this mission that God has given us is difficult for many to understand. The only answer to the question "WHY?" is....  Because God ask us to!!  And there you have it.....the answer to all the big, deep, fully loaded questions.....it's simple....because God ask us to!  (Deuteronomy 13:4) We have committed ourselves to follow God in any path he chooses for us. We know what lies at the end of the paths that we have so often chosen....yes the ones that WE wanted to follow. We have travelled those paths too many times only to find they often lead to sadness, and destruction, and brokenness. No, it might not always be easy to travel the paths that God sets before us....He never promised it would be easy, but there is great joy and peace there....and so many blessings!!  (John 8:12)
