It's TIME!!!!

It’s time...I tear up just to write that. It’s time for a new world of ‘unknowns’ to unfold. It’s time to trust in this ‘real’ leg of the journey. It’s time for our boys to come home to their new family...as God ordained from the beginning of time:) IT’S TIME for us to ask you to pray (again)!
So much we need God to do, but nothing that He can’t! We trust what happens is part of HIS plan to point us and others to HIM! With that, here are some specifics we ask you to pray:
--->NEW: my dad is back in the hospital as of last pm. Please pray for healing and the blood clots to break up and for my mom.

We leave Dulles on 6/24 and arrive back to Dulles 6/30 to get home here late afternoon! Already can’t wait for that:)

*Our hearts and protection for Justin, Kaylee Ann and Aliza we leave behind. Please pray for the folks caring for them, safety, wise choices, and hearts to know Jesus' love for them! It will be hard to say bye.
*We arrive Saturday (6/25am) and had not planned to get the boys until Monday am. Now we pick them up Saturday. Pray that we'll love each other well and have enough energy to get thru the first night and then hopefully all rest well??
*Pray for the boys and their receiving of us and our understanding of them
*We’ll also be meeting up and staying with friends of the Fogartys who are there adopting 2 boys (the Cassadas). Pray for connection and encouragement for one another. (No coincidence in God’s timing;)
*6/26 We hope we get to take the boys to worship with us at this fabulous church where we were last time.
*6/27 We’ll have Embassy appt on Monday am w/ them. Not expecting any snags.
*6/28 We will meet with Daniel re: ministry opportunity.  Pray for clarity and our role God has! This excites us!
*6/29 Pray their visas will be ready on time Wed for 10pm departure; Pray for our/their goodbyes at the orphanage; obvious covering needed for 18 hour flight home
*Pray for our adjustment as a family of 7 back home on Thursday, 6/30.
*PRAY FOR QUICK COMMUNICATION FOR THE BOYS! We know it doesn't come overnight, but we know the Lord can make things 'stick' that we can't! This will ease the transition tremendously once we can understand one another:) 

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost


WE PRAISE HIM FOR YOU! Truly we are blessed by the body of Christ caring for us in intercession and tangible ways!!! THANK YOU!! To God be the GLORY!!
