A Glimpse

Glimpse / glimps/ 

Noun : A momentary or partial view: 

This is what we currently have of our kids life right now. A glimpse a momentary partial view. Watching them grow up in pictures. Wishing we could be there to watch them grow, love them and care for them. Getting new pictures of the kids from friends that traveled for a court date or a missionary team that traveled to work at the orphanage and love on the kids is priceless. It makes you happy and sad all at the same time. Seeing other people love on your kids brings a smile to your face and tears to your eyes all at the same time. Adoption is hard there is nothing easy about it. Its not for everyone and I completely understand that.  I will be honest with you some days I wonder if its really for me... But then I remember that god called us to adopt he called us to take care of his children and when I remember those things I know that if god called us to do this he will see us through it.  Through the good the bad the ugly and all of the hard time but he will also see us through the beautiful times. 

Friends we have 14 days left for our file to be submitted into IBESR. We missed the last cut off back in September but god graciously allowed for another deadline. This deadline is November 3rd. Our file needs to be accepted into IBESR before this date. We had a paper that we had to update here in the states and then send to Haiti . That paper is now in Haiti and we are ready to be submitted.  So we are asking you to please pray for our adoption. Pray that they will accept us even though we don't meet the current Haitian age adoption law and we can move forward with the adoption process. Pray that this happens so we can hopefully very soon stop living our lives with a glimpse of these 3 precious children

Amazingly enough I have remained pretty calm these past few weeks since we didn't make the Sept 15th cut off. I have been at peace with all of this even when we weren't sure if the extension would be granted. I keep thinking of one of my favorite verses.... Psalm 46:10 be still and know that I am god

I always find comfort in this verse. We know this is his plan and we continue to trust him. 

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you declares the lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 

God love us and he loves our kids.... Please keep believing and agreeing with us! 

We want so much more than just a glimpse of these 3 precious kiddos life's!  

Thank you everyone for your continued prayers and support. It really means the world to us!
