WE'VE BEEN APPROVED!!!!!

I can hardly sit still I am so EXCITED!!!!!  I got home from having lunch with Kevin this afternoon and when I looked in the mailbox...there it was!!!!!  By "it" I am referring to our approval for Advanced Processing of Orphan Petition from the United States Customs and Immigration Services Office.  This means that, after a few more notaries and seals, we will be sending our paperwork to Ethiopia and will begin the waiting process for a referral!!!!

Can I just say that God is SO GOOD!!!!!  We had an amazing weekend last weekend at the Ignited Youth Ministry Conference where we could feel God working.  And may I just say that Kari Jobe (look her up if you don't know who she is.....A-MAZING!) is an absolutely phenomenal Christian artist and Worship leader!  We then followed that up with an amazing Sunday filled with great messages, worship, and incredible time with out Octane small groups.  Kevin is diving into some very exciting media ministry work that will definitely "bring the heat"!!  It is amazing to see God working in our lives and the lives of those around us.  I just want to thank you all again for all your thoughts and prayers.  I can't wait to see what He has in store for us!!!

Next step.....sending the paperwork off to Addis!!!! :) :)
