Facing the Giants

This is it.

This is the week we expect to hear from our agency about whether or not we passed court. Sometime this week, a representative from our agency will stand in for us in a courtroom on the other side of the world while a judge makes a ruling over our case. He or she will evaluate our paperwork and decide whether Jadyn is legally ours. If we pass, then our tentative travel dates become concrete, and we will start packing to go and get our little girl. If we fail, there could be quite a delay. Our agency would first have to request a new court date for us which could be scheduled in another month or so. Then they'd have to fix whatever the judge did not like about our case, and there would still be no guarantee as we faced another court date sometime next year.

I keep thinking that I'm at peace about this. God is sovereign after all. He's already got this whole thing planned out. But then I think, "But what if God's plan is not my plan?" That thought alone is enough to make me dizzy and feel like I'm going to throw up. (Okay, I realize how pathetic this sounds as I write it, but I'm just keeping it real, Dog.)

So what do we do now? We wait. And we pray for a successful first court date. And we trust God to work things out for His glory.

We truly desire and appreciate your prayers on our daughter's behalf during this time.

if we lose, we praise Him." Facing the Giants
