Odesco has a signed passport!!!! However, Mercy and Odesco's little travelling buddy, our good friend's the K's son is still awaiting his. Aoh is hoping it will be the next one signed tomorrow. No definitive travel plans will be made until then. We also need to wait for the visa to be issued for all of the children so, we are certainly one step closer and I hope by the end of this week we will have specific travel plans to bring all 3 children home.
I have been thinking about the latest update regarding our children and to be honest was becoming a bit anxious regarding the dynamics I am expecting between Mercy and our other dear daughter...it sounds like their dispositions are very similar which could make for some interesting opportunities to employ the truths we learned from the Young Peacemaker this summer! The Lord is so kind to remind me that just as He chose each of our biological children before the foundations of the earth, so He had also chosen Mercy and Odesco to be adopted into our family before the earth's foundation. I find such comfort in knowing that this was HIS choice for us and He will indeed supply every grace(patience, wisdom, energy!!) needed to parent and disciple these gifts He has granted to us.
I read a wonderful sermon by John Piper today entitled Predestined for Adoption to the Praise of His Glory. You can view it by copying this into your internet browser

We're one step closer to meeting our precious children!!
He who promised is faithful!!
