Introducing Caroline and Marta in Color!!! As you can imagine, we are very excited to venture to Colombia, and our prayer is that God opens the door for us to travel by November 1st! It could be a long shot, as the immigration approval can take up to 3 months, but, we can hope. That would allow us to be with Caroline on her 4th birthday, and probably bring them home in time for Christmas! Sounds to good to be true, but, that is our hope!
Please keep our soon to be hijas in your prayers! We sent them a gift, letter, and photos and they soon will be learning about us. We pray that God is preparing their hearts to join our family! We know that He had these girls planned for our family from the very beginning...the excitement is building in each of us (yes, even Silas is talking about and praying for them every day)! Now we just need to be filled with patience that only the Holy Spirit can give. We are trusting God's timing and best as we prepare for this great adventure!!!
A verse that the kids memorized this summer and a good one to pray over the girls...
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go!" Joshua 1:9
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go!" Joshua 1:9
Oh my goodness, how will you ever stop squeezing those adorable cheeks? We are so unbelievably excited for your family! We can't wait until the next CC gathering so we can meet your expanded family!
ReplyDeleteThey are so beautiful...how sweet! I love the blog entry where you said that Isabel and Silas will be able to communicate with their hijas due to their spanish immersion...wow, that gave me goosebumps...what a gift!! You're right...these girls were meant for you! I hope and pray that the immigration paperwork goes speedy fast! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOk, praying an hoping along with you that November 1st is the latest date!!! It can be terribly frustrating when something as trivial as paperwork can hold up something so important as holding your daughters!! Hang in there!!
ReplyDeleteMy dear friends,
ReplyDeleteReading this today is such an answer to prayer... even this far. I pray that November 1st is the reality and that your familia is reunited then. I cannot wait to meet Caroline and Marta. Praying with you and for you.
