Good News!

* I learned from my friend Anne Marie that a good blog post is never without pictures, even if they are unrelated to the content. :) So here are some super random photos.
* Also, the girls turned 17 months yesterday on my mom's birthday!!! Happy Birthday to a Godly, Amazing Mother and Friend!!

Dinner with Anne Marie a few weeks ago- such a treat!

On Friday, December 7th we received word that the girls' paperwork should be going to the local government in the next two weeks! We're so thrilled that God seems to be moving the girls closer to their forever family and us closer to knowing His will for us! We're just beyond grateful that He is so good to us.

So this coming Friday, December 21st should be the end of the two weeks. We don't know if the date will actually be that firm, but we're hopeful. Once the paperwork is at the local government, it then goes to the CCCWA where they will make a decision on allowing our agency to lock their files for us or if they'll be put on the shared list. Would you join us in praying that the paperwork would go to the CCCWA and they would make a decision before the Chinese New Year? 2013 Chinese New Year is February 10th but offices close before that...usually they have a month holiday.

Praise be to the Lord, for He has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise Him. - Psalm 28:6-7
