Prayer and Fresh Air

We have an appointment next week which may determine how the rest of our adoption will proceed. Please pray for God's favor and our peace of mind (especially Anna's).

During our reading time together this morning, we read Psalm 31:

1 In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge;
Let me never be ashamed;
In Your righteousness deliver me.
2 Incline Your ear to me, rescue me quickly;
Be to me a rock of strength,
A stronghold to save me.
3 For You are my rock and my fortress;
For Your name's sake You will lead me and guide me...

19
How great is Your goodness,
Which You have stored up for those who fear You,
Which You have wrought for those who take refuge in You,
Before the sons of men!
20You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the conspiracies of man;
You keep them secretly in a shelter from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the LORD,
For He has made marvelous His lovingkindness to me in a besieged city.
22 As for me, I said in my alarm,
"I am cut off from before Your eyes";
Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications
When I cried to You.
23 O love the LORD, all you His godly ones!
The LORD preserves the faithful
And fully recompenses the proud doer.
24 Be strong and let your heart take courage,
All you who hope in the LORD.

...like a breath of fresh air in a stale room...

We are very excited for you guys, and are praying for you that everything goes smoothly.

We often talk about you guys, and wonder how you are doing (but you know us, bad about the phone thing) :) so I was glad to see you started a blog.

See you soon in the coming festivities! So exciting!
