Another New Year's Eve

Well, it is just another New Year's Eve. Don and I really thought we would end 2006 with an expanded family. We are feeling a bit down about this but realize we are not alone. There are many PAPs out there waiting along with us.
As we bring 2006 to a close, here are some of the things we are on our knees praying for:

• All the families waiting to adopt from Russia.
• All the children in Russia waiting to be adopted.
• The Russian Officials involved in the reaccreditation process.
• The adoption agencies waiting for reaccreditation.
• That we can remain patient and understand that everything happens according to God's plan.

"For I know the plans I have for you," delcares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

Blessings,
Elizabeth

The Reason for the Season

Well, several months have gone by since I posted on our blog. We are working on completing our homestudy update. I have to admit, I never thought we would have to "redo" so much paperwork.

As we are waiting for our adoption, it is important that we always remember the reason for the season.

Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11

Merry Christmas to all,
Elizabeth
