Waiting for final approval on the Home Study.

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me".

These last few weeks, really months, I have needed this verse to be plastered on ever surface I see. In the 12 years Rob and I have been married there has never been such a time of 'trials' as this. Some days I am completely overwhelmed and wonder what God is up to, day's like today, with this verse in the forefront of my mind and the beautiful snow that covers everything here in Texas, I am glad to boast of my weakness.

It is testimony to His strength because we could not make it through this time without it.

On the other side of all these trials I KNOW that we will rejoice and God will get the glory.

So we wait, and wait...and soon our Home Study will be signed and final and we will be off to immigration (about a 60 day process) and then our Dossier will be sent to China!

In the meantime we hold fast to His promises.

Love you all,
Tabby, etc!

Waiting waiting waiting...to hear from our social worker. What a tough time it is to get all your paperwork ready and then just wait on someone else. I feel so 'out of control' because i can't DO anything to hurry the process.

It's been a bit of a whirlwind since November and i apologize for not updating but between moving, coming down from fundraising and paperwork and MOVING, selling, and new schools and then the holidays. Whew!

I know this time will pass quickly and that God will provide and but it is so hard to just sit...guess that is a perfect time to work on Spaghetti dinner fundraiser and another garage sale. Let us know if you have anything to contribute to either. Goods or services.

I will update as SOON as we hear a peep!
