Referral!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last wednesday we got the call that we have been waiting for! It's been 13 months since we sent our dossier over to Ethiopia and now we finally have seen her face! She is beautiful, wish I could share pics but I can't at this time. We are now praying for quick court dates and travel. I am praying for a miracle, that we could even pick her up before Christmas. CS Lewis says that, "A miracle is when God does something that wouldn't happen if he didn't." I want to get her as soon as we can and bring her home. Conservatively, they said we would proabably go in January for the first court hearing and then leave her there (ahhhh!) for six weeks until we come back for the second hearing and then we can bring her home. Praise God that she can feel His love long before she feels ours. We are so excited!!! We may name her Beklyn Grace because it is similar to her Ethiopian name. Please pray we can bring baby Beklyn home as soon as God wills!!!

Thanks for stopping by. Wish we could share a cup of mocha together and just talk. It's hard when everyone decides to move away and start their only family after college. What's up with that? Me and Brett are working on buying our own island and then everyone we know and love could come live there and we would never be apart again. Until then, we will communicate through technology like the rest of the world. If you know Jesus we will all be reunited in heaven anyway and that's way better than the whole island plan because those cost a lot of money and Brett isn't good at saving it. I am always trying to get him to save money and not spend it but he always blows it on frivolous things. (if you know Brett, you know that's a total joke; the man could be in the middle of the desert parched and not spring for a glass of water)
