1 year

1 year ago today, we were placed on the official waiting list in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for a little girl.

On that day, 8-9-10, I never thought we'd still be waiting today. I even had the audacity to believe that we might even have her home by today... The average timelines were much different a year ago than they are today.

My heart has ached for her for almost 2 years now- ever since God placed in me the desire to adopt a little girl from Ethiopia.

I'm thankful to have the love, support and encouragement from so many family and friends throughout this process. Most of all, I'm thankful for any prayer that is lifted on behalf of our family and especially our daughter.

Please join us in praying for her. I've said it before, but we love her so much already. There is a void in our hearts that only she will be able to fill.

Please pray that NO advances by the enemy to prevent her from having a family to love her will prevail.

We would also appreciate any prayers you would send up for our family as we wait. Pray that we will not be discouraged as we wait and that we would trust in God daily to carry out the plan that he has for us in this process.

We are still believing Him for a miracle in bringing us together!!! He IS able. Nothing is too big for HIM!!! I believe that with all of my heart.

Thank you so much for joining us in prayer! It means more to us than I could ever express.

I absolutely cannot wait to be able to share some good news with you all!!!

Until then, I guess I'm off to wait some more :) I'm getting pretty good at it by now.....
