Calling All Prayer Warriors...

I know I have not been keeping this up throughout the Summer but as far as adoption there really had been nothing to report. Today however we learned that our paperwork is submitted to the Russian judge. This is the farthest we have gotten. Judges recently have been denying adoptions and making the process very difficult. They are waiting for resolution b/t the US and Russia in regaards to the case of the woman who sent her adoptive son back to Moscow. This could take months..... However, those working on our behalf believe this is a good time to submit our stuff for a few reasons from what they know... We are waiting for a court hearing date so that we can make our 2nd trip to Russia and bring our girls home. This judge is the key to making that happen. Please pray: * For favor with the judge that he will allow us a court date (and not make us jump through a bunch more hoops) * For timing- that God will open doors that no man can shut * That all the logistices in the rest of this journey will go smooth * That Eden and Aubrey will be kept safe- emotionally, physically and spiritually * That we'll keep our focus on the Lord and not lose hope no matter what our circumstances look like (and that those around us will do the same) * Against fear and worry- that He would give us power and love and a sound mind Thank you! So much happens when God's people pray. We've seen that throughout this process and we appreciate all the prayers more than I can relate. Love you all.
