We’ve gotten some disappointing news – our trip to finalize the adoption has been postponed by at least 6 weeks. So we
won’t be in Africa this December, as we had hoped and expected. Insert tears here.
For the past 5 months I’ve been saying December wasn’t a sure thing and that nothing is ever definite with all of this… but the reality is that it was the only information I had. So over time I clung to it and became pretty fixated on traveling by the close of 2015. Now, it'll be a little longer that my heart is stuck in a place of unrest with our family split between continents.
There are at least five or more “good” reasons that we can focus on as to why this delay may be a positive thing… and I’m still in the Exodus 14:14 mindset of knowing that the Lord is fighting for us and caring for these kids… He must need more time to work things out on their behalf!

How joyful are those who fear the Lord and delight in obeying his commands. Their children will be successful everywhere; an entire generation of godly people will be blessed… Such people will not be overcome by evil… They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them. (Psalm 112)
