Friday, we got great news that Julianna's paperwork was submitted to court in Ethiopia for a court date. We should hear within a week or so what date that will be. Please be in prayer that her court date is on or near Joshua's. If successful, we will get them home by Christmas.
What a journey this has been...an absolute life lesson in reckless abandon to the plan of God and whole hearted devotion in trusting God. Nothing has been so out of our control and beyond our resources and abilities. We feel our trust and love for God has never been deeper after this past 13 months. So often, in our modern, western culture, we have the resources and ability to make things happen, to fix things that are wrong. It rarely puts us in a desperate situation where God is the only one we can count on. This adoption has been completely out of our control, beyond our resources, an absolute leap of faith. It has forced us to rely completely on God. It has truly deepened our affection and childlike faith for such an amazing God.
May you find yourself in a similar place...no where else to turn, no resources of your own, no way to fix the issue....without the God of the universe completely stepping in. Not something you would normally wish on someone's life, but oh, the benefits and blessings when you find yourself at the end of yourself...completely reliant on your Father God with no other recourse. Dependence is a freeing, wonderful place to be!!
Blessings,
Kurt and JoLynn
