EP Approved!!!

We got news yesterday morning that the Korean government has approved Jonah's EP!! Now we just have to wait for our paperwork to be submitted to the court and be assigned a court date. My best guess at this point for a court date is August, which would mean Jonah would be home by September. This will be almost exactly two years after Joshua came home; we celebrate our second Family Day with Joshua on September 2nd.

And then today we got the BEST pictures of Jonah ever. I could die over the cuteness of his sunglasses and popped collar!

So much to be thankful for today!

"Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain." Psalm 127:1

This is my statement of trust in the Lord to "build" our house. We acknowledge our complete dependence upon the Lord to build our family. We know His will is good, pleasing, and perfect (Rom 12:2) so we trust that whatever manner He chooses will be better than anything we could have planned for ourselves. We believe He is able to do "immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us," (Eph 3:20) and we desire for Him to receive all the glory. "Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts" Isa 26:8.

My Life Verses

"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners - of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen." 1 Tim 1:15-17

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light." 1 Peter 2:9

"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:2

"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
