It is Snowing!

This picture is the view from our apartment window this morning- and YES that is SNOW! So pretty!

Well, today is the first day that we have had access to our computer. And I feel that I have alot to say, but I need to keep it short.

Unfortunately, we have not been able to meet our child yet. :( We are having difficulties with some things and we are hoping to have some answers cleared up on Monday. Please keep up the praying, my prayer warriors! They have been working!  Trust me, as soon as we meet our child, I will be getting access to a computer- no matter what- to post pics for you all! I am as anxious as you all, trust me! :)

I have to tell you all the BEST thing that has happened to us so far- it is called Jackie and Clint- American Family that lives here in Kaz. A friend that adopted here last year put us in contact with them and I can't even begin to describe what an amazing blessing it has been. I keep joking with Jackie saying that she is not real, a figment of our imagination, an angel from God, etc... Because she just swooped in and has taken us under her wing. The first day we got here, she made a home cooked meal and brought it to us in our apartment, with staple groceries in hand, and has driven us to get our money exchanged, grocery store, etc... And right now, we are at their house for "church" with other American families. We are having dinner together, praising God, and will play games later. We are continually thanking our Lord for answering all of our prayers. Jackie and Clint have been nothing but a GOD THING!!! Our flight was so smooth- another GOD THING!!!! We are praising Him for His goodness, His protection, and His faithfulness!

On another note, we are learning yet again to praise Him even when its tough. Right now, its tough, but we will praise Him. I was reading a couple of days ago in the book of Job the first few chapters. Job is the King of "tough times". Yet, he continued to praise God even though he lost his children, his wife and his job!! Satan thought that he would do what he could to get Job to curse the Lord. God told Satan that he could do anything but harm him personally. Satan did and Job remained faithful to God. Friday night after a long and exhausting day emotionally, Shane and I surrendered this to God and chose to remain faithful no matter what. We have chosen to praise Him, no matter what! We praise Him because there is SOOO much to be thankful for.

Please know that we miss you all and we covet your prayers. We are soooo thankful for the prayers that have already gone out. They have truly been OBVIOUSLY answered!!!!!

Love,
