At the Altar

It’s here!  The last piece of paper for our adoption dossier came in the mail!
Before we mail the whole thing to our agency, we want to literally lay it on the altar.  We are planning to pray over it at church tonight.
We want to ask you to pray along with us.
If you would, please join us in prayer this evening from wherever you are.  God will hear us agreeing together in a petition on behalf of the little girl who waits for us.

This dossier (packet of all our legal and family documents) is the most tangible connection we have to our process in Ethiopia.
The dossier will represent our family during the process.
The dossier will be on the table, front and center, as decisions are made.
We want to soak these papers in the Holy Spirit!

 Fact:  The wait time for orphans in Ethiopia is outrageous.
 Fact:  The time it will take for us to be matched with a little girl is indefinite.
 Fact:  God is sovereign in all things!
 Fact:  We are praying miracles of speed.
 
 Please
-Pray for the logistics of travel and approval to surround our documents.
-Pray for our documents to reflect the love in our hearts.
-Pray for God to supernaturally expedite our papers.

Fact:  God answers prayers!
We will begin EVERY DAY with the expectation that today could be the day we see a picture of our little girl.
Thank you for praying with us tonight and always!!
