We got our referral call for our Peaches today!!!! She is a beautiful little 4 year old girl from the far western region of Ethiopia called Gambella. Our agency sent us an email that included all of our medical and legal information as well as eight pictures. We are captivated. And we are overwhelmed by God's glorious work in bringing her to us. His name be praised.
There have been times during this process when we have fallen silent on our knees before His throne - those Selah moments of pause and reflection, waiting on Him. But tonight, we are standing before Him, loudly shouting His praise to all who will hear. We are having lots of people over tonight on very short notice, with the intention of having a time of worship, reflection, praise, and prayer. We wish any and all who read this could be here too!
I will write more in the coming days as we process this amazing day. Thanks to all who have been there with us. There is still much work to do, but it is a day to pause and echo His praises to the Nations!
WOOHOOOOOO!!!!! Congratulations!!! Celebrating with you!
