Prayer Request

First of all, thank you for all the love and support that you have given us through this long and exciting process. We are so thrilled to be on this journey and grateful that you are all in this with us with your prayer, support and encouragement! 

We received news today that our trip may be delayed. 
I don't know exactly who (minister of social affairs, maybe),  but there is a guy from Russia who is supposed to be signing a treaty for a bilateral agreement while he is in DC. This is scheduled for Thursday next week (2 days before we are supposed to be leaving). If he signs this, our trip will be delayed for at least a month. 

From what I heard, this guy has been scheduled to sign it before and for whatever reason never did. So maybe he will delay it again. I have to say that I am praying he does!! I am desperate to get to Russia, meet Natalia and say that we want her to be our baby girl!! 


Please pray for the timing of our adoption. I want it to be now so badly, I don't want to wait another month. Please pray for my heart. Pray for Natalia while she waits in an orphanage. Pray that God would move mountains! Pray that I would trust the one who created adoption. Pray, pray, pray!!

One more thing, we sent away for our visas yesterday and will need them back by the time we leave (if we go). Pray that whoever is doing them will be efficient and we will receive them in time. 

Once again God is humbling me through this adoption. He is showing me how much I need him.
