Homestudy (Almost) Completed!

I was hoping by now to write that our homestudy is completed, but that's not the case! We are not sure why the delay. . . in the meantime we are gathering more paperwork, so we are ready to go when given the green light! This process does not move fast enough at times. We are just wanting to go get our little girl. We wait. . .for God's timing-- which is ALWAYS best! Within the last few weeks, we have decided to fill out our paperwork to read that we are willing to take a girl or a sibling group. We just want to be prepared in case Katarina has a brother or sister.


Some friends graciously donated a bunkbed for Karis and Katarina's room. (Katarina is the name we are calling our Ukrainian girl-eventhough we have not met her yet). Karis keeps practicing getting up on the top bunk so she will be ready when Katarina comes and sleeps on the bottom bunk. God continues to show us in many ways that He will provide our every need. . .yes, at times I believe that means emotional and spiritual.


We are also excited to be a part of our church's new orphan ministry! We are looking forward to helping other couples obey what God has called them to do--James 1:27.
