First things first. We have our LOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the document we have been waiting for. Once we sign this document and get it back to China, we will be issued our travel approval. The estimated time until we travel is 5-8 weeks. “A” will turn 2 on September 23, 5 weeks from tomorrow.
It is amazing to look back and see God at work through this process. He has taken care of so many details . Details that you would not think the Almighty would deem important. He does so because He loves us. Oh, how He loves us. There is nothing too small or too big for Him to handle.
Right now, my family is in a process of transition. We have been in this process, but now it is really ramping up. D just started First Grade. I just started a full-time position with a local nursing home. My hubby broke his toe last night and has to have a pin put in it tomorrow. No Tae Kwon Do for a month (his black belt test was supposed to be Saturday). Thought I would throw that in there, because he is really bummed. Most of all, in less than two months, we will go from a 3 person family to a 5 person family. Overnight.
Over the last few months, we have slowly let go of some of our responsibilities. However, it seems we are busier than ever! That has to change. Family time. That is what we are after. Time to be together before the boys get here. Time to process. Time to prepare. Time to pack!!!! Our hearts are yearning for these boys. We have to continue to be intentional about our time with our Lord. Time to pray. Time to study. Time to lean in close. Time to fight. Who you ask? Satan.
Satan hates this. He will attack. Please pray for us.
Love,
Lori
