God's Timing Not Ours

Guess what?
Once again God's plan and timing is much better than ours. Let me explain how our day has been; we woke and I cooked breakfast and made hot chocolate, got ready to begin the day and received a phone call to go sign papers for our 3rd SDA appointment. After signing papers Kirk and I went to the mall across the street to eat lunch and watch the ducks go to the fountain for a bath (just like Peabody's) red carpet and all. Someone was announcing everything that was happening but we didn't have a clue what was being said so we waited to see what was going on. Then 4:00p.m came for us to leave for our appointment at 5:00-so we waited on the taxi and arrived at our appointment at 4:50-I was praying that we made it on time due to the snowy weather.
We were praying that we would get our first SDA lady that helped us view children at our 1st appointment and we did! She is awesome and seems to geniuely have a heart for chidlren. At our first appointment there were these two boys that she wanted to show us but because of paperwork that was in transit she couldn't show us the files and we really thought we were going for only one child. When she saw us she had told our facilitator that she had saved the boys files hoping that we would come back. WOW! We never thought we would have to have a third appointment but God knew all along that He had to prepare our hearts for what was about to happen. We are so Thankful that He did!
If you would have asked us 17 days ago if we were adopting two children we would have said no but if God opens a door we would be obedient. This whole process has been about faith and being obedient for what God has called us to do and that is to adopt. James 1:27 tells us to care for the orphans and it is our prayer that we are carring out His command.
This Faith journey is only beginning and we appreciate all your prayers. We ask that you will continue to pray for us, the boys that they will be receptive to us, the director of the orphanage and the inspector.
