Things are moving!

For those of you checking in...
Last week we were able to submit our money to pay for our Home Study! This is exciting for us, as it has happened quite a bit sooner than we were expecting.
So our Adoption Agency received the money on Thursday. We played phone tag for a few days and I just got off the phone with them! At this point we have been told that we may get to hear from our Social Worker as early as some time this week. From then we can set up the Home Study and get things moving. They are currently checking/contacting our references and going through our paperwork.
*Please pray for patience as we wait excitedly.
*Please also be praying for wisdom as we continue to search for a larger vehicle. We have been out test driving and shopping over the past few weeks. We know what we need and what our requirements are for a vehicle, we just need to wait for the right one to come along.
This past weekend we drove a little over an hour south of home to check out a used Suburban...we had cash in hand, but the mechanic we hired found too many "no goes," so we came home w/out the Burb.Sad, but relieved to know we had been protected from buying a lemon!
*Please pray for our diligence at home as we focus on Bible Study, Family Worship, and our own Spiritual Disciplines.
*Please pray for the woman who may already be pregnant with the Child who will join our family! Pray that she will have peace about decisions she needs to make and for her salvation
*Pray for the soul of this (most likely) still unborn child, that he or she will know the Creator someday

Waiting...

Just a quick update...our forms and photo books are all completed. But we are choosing to be "on hold" for a bit, as we work on the financial side of things. We have been working do to the "Dave Ramesy" thing for several years now...we are in a good position and all, but we feel the need to continue at it for a bit longer before we jump into adoption. We need to purchase a bigger vehicle, and we'd like to pay cash, as to not gain a car payment again...its been nice to not have had one for several years now. Our mini van is just nearing 100,000 miles and we need more seating! While it is disappointing to be on hold, we trust that this is a wise move in the long run and for the best for our family. Lord willing, it will be only a matter of a few months before we feel we can precede again.
If you would like to pray for us, please pray that we will be diligent in saving up and fundraising for the adoption and that God would continue to grant us much wisdom and direction.
Thanks so much! We know He will provide in His timing.
Love,
Our Family
