End of May Update

Waiting week after week is hard.  I try to email about every 2-3 weeks for updates from our agency, AIAA. Today my email asked again for any updates and knowing that the new policies are going into effect soon, I asked if and how that will affect us.  The response is a little different this time.  There are now 5 families, which includes ours, that are waiting from around the same time our home study went to Korea (HTK). I am not sure if that means family #6 got a referral or dropped out.  Tammy stated that the director of AIAA is headed to SWS in mid June and should have more information when she returns.  What I interpret this as is that there will be no referrals until that time.  My hopes of a referral for my birthday is gone, even though I knew it was a long shot.
Ben and Cami finish up school tomorrow and Ian finishes next week. I look forward to our family vacation coming up. It will be nice to get away and spend time together traveling the country.

1 Chronicles 16:11 
Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.

Psalm 27:14 
Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

A Knight for a Princess

Big smiles came from our princess when she found out that City Church was holding A Knight for a Princess again this year.  She was excited to have a father/ daughter date night with her daddy.  They both got dressed up.  Daddy rang the door bell and brought flowers for his date.  They rode in their chariot (a blue minivan) and headed to the dance.  They enjoyed ham and potatoes, mac and cheese, corn, jello, punch, and cupcakes for dinner.  They enjoyed all the activities, including, dancing, a magician, art projects (her favorite), bingo (she won a Culvers gift card for another date night w/ daddy), and crafts and coloring.  It was a fun filled night!  Photographers were on hand to take pictures of everyone and posted them on a special website for the dads and daughters to download.  A wonderful evening for a princess and her knight!

Psalm 130

We wait and wait and wait. Any day now. Still waiting on you Lord.  

Praying that our child is know to us soon.

I wait for the Lord

my whole being waits,

and in his word I put my hope.

I wait for the Lord

more than watchmen wait for the morning,

more than watchmen wait for the morning.

Psalm 130

Phillipians 4:6

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Philippians 4:6 NLT
