For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jer 29:11)

The Good, the Bad, and the Excellent

The Good...
Our dossier is on its way to Ethiopia. We've been officially added to the waiting list for referral of an infant girl!

The Bad...
We were notified this week that the Ethiopian government has not been referring many infant girls to our adoption agency lately, and consequently, the waiting list is quite a bit longer than normal. Instead of traveling in a few months to pick up a little girl, it will probably be well into next year before we can bring her home. This has been really disappointing for us.

The Excellent...
A good God is in control of all of this. His plans are always excellent, His timing always perfect. And He promises to work all things for His glory and our good. In a very real sense, we cannot lose...
