Still Waiting... and Wondering...

What in the world could our daughter be doing in Colombia???

Please pray with us that we get everything in order here at the homestead and raise/save all the money we need to complete the adoption! We are almost finished with the January After-Christmas Auction! Our initial goal was $250. I've raised it to $500, hoping to raise enough to pay for two domestic flights in Colombia. The party's not over, there are still items to bid on... so check it out! Look me up on facebook!!!

Also, need prayer that coverage at work will not be an issue, that I will have saved enough time by the time we get the referral for a month leave. (Or that my coworkers are generous and donate some of their time to us!) That I will have a job when I return. Life where I work can be crazy sometimes!!!

We would like to complete the adoption in Colombia and then relocate. So, while we wait, we would like to also prepare for the future. We'd like to get organized and begin making repairs to the house, painting, packing, etc. And we need a certain amount on our house to relocate, as well as a job for me (at a certain wage)... so, is it too early to ask for your prayer concerning such? Please join us in praying...

We would like to move to an area that is closer to Ben's University. It is a college town with lots of opportunity. We need a new beginning. Leaving the church has been a BIG deal; we have went through a lot and have a lot more to endure, but now, we both feel released to move on. It is my desire however, to remain here until we go to Colombia, just due to FMLA and to avoid costs of a home study update, etc. So, please just pray with us. Sometime soon, we need our referral... we'd like to travel by Summer 2012. That would actually be perfect. Kids would be out of school, and hopefully, by that time, I'd have accrued 3-4 weeks of PTO.

Will keep you informed... til the next time!
