The journey continues

Hello everyone,
My hope is that all is well with all of you :) We are doing ok. We've been a little more discouraged recently. The only thing we really KNOW about this process is that we were meant to adopt a child that the Lord has handpicked for us. Where, when, who, how, etc...We just don't know. Please pray for strength and peace as we continue on this journey. We are SO-SO thankful for everyone's support and prayers!!

During this time we are reminded of...
James 4:13-17
Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."

RUSSIA UPDATE:
Our time frame was increased this past week, again. We have been told it will likely be another 6 months before a potential referral. There has also recently been some turbulence in this program that have caused Brandon and I to reevaluate what is best for our family. We'll continue to keep you posted :)))

VIETNAM UPDATE:
It's been a while now since I've updated on Vietnam so I thought it was time to pass on what we know. Our dossier is still in Vietnam. The program continues to remain closed as government officials continue to sort things out. There currently is no indication of if and when this program might reopen again. We are still hopeful and truly have not given up the faith in Vietnam :)

On a much lighter note...I've been watching too much of "The Dog Whisperer"- hehe. I strongly recommend turning down your volume before playing the video; I sound a little silly but that's what keeps Tex walking and not retreating from his workout ;-) He's the sweetest & smartest dog and keeps us smiling :)))
