I just got the call we have been praying for and waiting for...............
WE HAVE A COURT DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and its only in 12 days from now!
I was in SHOCK! Complete SHOCK!
We WILL get to be with her for her 2nd Birthday after all.
Thank you GOD!
I fell on my face (literally!) in total thanksgiving to Him for this awesome news!
Frankly, I am STILL in shock.
I have sooooooooooooo much I need to do before we leave in a little over a week from now. (As soon as the tickets are confirmed, I will let you know the day we are leaving)
My in-laws are SO awesome. They are going to come down here and get the boys and drive them back up to NC. And then right before we get back home with Selah, in 4-5 weeks, they will drive the boys back down here, so they and the boys can see their baby sister come home, finally! They are so amazing for making this so easy on us. THANK YOU Cheryl and Keith!!!
Please pray that the paperwork gets done ASAP. I have the Senator's office calling them to tell them I HAVE to have those docs in my hand by the 24th!
For my local friends, please forgive us for having to cancel and re-arrange things. I know you all understand.
AGH!!!!!!!!!! We are going to see our daughter!!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness, I don't think I will sleep ever again!
THANK YOU LORD!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Jesus!!!!!!!
God brought the scripture to me yesterday... and while praying today I thought of you.... “And the Lord answered me: “Write the vision…For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end – it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.” - Habakkuk 2:2-3
Thank you Lord!!! The time is now... and we are so thrilled for you... God honors those who wait and who are obedient!!!! We are praying that all the paperwork and everything else goes well....
SO EXCITED and Praising God!!!!!!
