Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. ~ James 1:27

The Wait Goes On

Still.  Waiting.  Ugh.  The last week has been emotional, since we should hear any second if we get the Feb. 8 embassy date.  So far, no one has heard anything.  We should know this week for sure, but that's what I thought last week.  If we get this one, we will leave two weeks from tomorrow to bring Little E home.  Our agency did say about a month ago that we should expect to bring him home in February, just not sure when.  We are trusting in God's timing in this and trying not to get to antsy.  Trying.  I didn't say that I'm always succeeding.

In the meantime, though, we're getting involved in some exciting ministry opps.  I am heading up Meals on Wheels volunteers for our homeschool group.  I'm glad to be able to serve those who are the other part of our James 1:27 verse.  My kiddos are super excited, since this is something they do with their Grammy when we visit. It will be good for all of us to step outside of our comfort zone a little bit.

Justin and I have also developed a new passion and hope to have a couple of big events this fall.  Stay tuned for announcements about how you can be involved!

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. ~ Isaiah 40:31
