The African 3 Step

What a day!  This has been the most hectic and busiest day we have had since the last time Gladney called us!!  Maybe there is a trend here?  The Lord certainly knows how to keep us on our knees.  We are thrilled to here about court dates today.

Step 1:  MOWA gets to here our case on July 19th.  If we pass, we move on to travel and our court date.  Our prayer is that MOWA offers a favorable opinion and all the circumstances that involve Sam go smoothly.  The time line couldn't be tighter - an unfavorable ruling here means no travel until October.

Step 2:  We travel for our court date on August 4th to Addis.  We are thankful that the kids will not miss school for travel.  Again, the time line is tight.  If we don't pass here, then no travel until October.

Step 3:  US embassy and go get the little man for good. 3-6 weeks latter. Hopefully in early September.

We thank you Lord for all his goodness and provision.

  2. Yipee, Yippeee, Yiiipppeee!!! The Knights are rejoicing with your family. BeJoe or Sheraton for your first trip FOR SURE. We liked BeJoe better due to the real cultural experience, but if you need a more European feel, the Sheraton is good. Praying for your date. Love, The Knight
