Off We Go



Need to sleep?...why not try the bed?

On our way.




It has been a long time since we started this adoption journey, two years to be exact. God has directed us all the way from Honduras to America, to not knowing, and finally to Ethiopia. On October 20th, He brought us to Darartu, who had just been placed two weeks earlier on the Celebrate Children International Waiting Children's list. The past seven month have been filled with many emotions and questions. God has thought us a lot about trust and obedience, during the process speaking to us in very direct ways. He has confirmed over and over that this is His will for our family. He has made provision for us. He has proven Himself faithful, over and over. We are so thankful.

We will be on our way to Ethiopia on May 30th to meet our sweet six year old princess, and return home on June 5th.

We ask that you will pray for our safety, health, and that the Lord will give us wisdom. Pray for Derartu, she will be experiencing a lot of emotions and will be going through a lot of changes, the main one being the English language.

We want to thank all of you who have been a part of this amazing time in our lives. We are so thankful for your support and prayers.
