Puzzle Pieces

So.......... Axum now has a Birth Certificate, a Passport and has had his medical appointment done by the Embassy!!!!! That is so huge! He has a BIRTH CERTIFICATE !! He could of lived his whole life in Ethiopia without a Birth Certificate!! It has our last name on it!! HE is an Engel! Praise God! That is another miracle! He has a PASSPORT!! You know one of those things you need to leave a country!! One of those things you need to come home! We should be submitted to Embassy on Monday! That means that we will  receive an email about an orphan investigation. This email means our file has been screened and passed on to an actual person!  This person will decide if they need to do an interview with his birth mother or anyone else, and then they will clear us. If they need an interview we will receive an email stating this.  Our Agency  will schedule the interview and get the person there. Then we will receive an email once that has happened and once our case has been cleared! They say this can take anywhere from 4-6 weeks (give or take 3-4 weeks) LOL! So really they don't really know and every case is different! And since Christmas is in there it might take a little longer who knows? God knows!!! And it will be perfect!

In the Bible James tell us that Every good and perfect gift comes from Above, from the Father of Heavenly lights.  This whole journey had been part of God's plan for our family! When I look back on life even before we even started our family 9 years ago, I see now that God has planned all of it and that if I would of be listening closer, so many things would not have been a surprise. He has put all of  the pieces together one by one. He will continue to do that for the rest of my life until that last piece is put together and hopefully he will be able to say TA DAAAA!!!!!  It has taken almost 2 years to come to the understanding that ,

James 1:12
Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when has stood the test he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

Meaning that their will be MANY trials but when you face the trails with perseverance (faith) you will be rewarded. Maybe not here on Earth but in heaven!  Wow it took almost 2 years to get that!! I might be a slow learner. LOL!

So these last weeks of waiting might be the hardest part of this one little piece of our puzzle but, We will stand in Faith knowing that this is the will of our Father! We will try in this season if giving to not be polluted by the world in thinking that we need more than we do. We will teach our Children to look after one another. We are all Orphans and God has adopted us into his family.


We will bless our children with knowing that when you walk in faith that you will not do it alone! Life can be dark but out of the shadows comes light! Pure everlasting light!

Lord, thank you for your light! Thank you for loving us so much! Thank you for giving so generously to all!! Thank you for your good and perfect gifts!
Amen
