Only Trust Him...

As many of you are aware of the last 6 months has been an incredible journey for Ronnie and I. We have lost a business, hosted a child for 5 weeks from Latvia, Ronnie started a new job, began the process of adoption...just to mention some of the highlights. Well here is the latest--Ronnie has had a job offer from a company that he use to work for...we came home and there were business cards from them in the front door, garage door and mailbox with notes to please call them. We prayed about it over the weekend and Ronnie called on Monday. After talking with them he has decided to take the job. He and I both think this is such a "God thing". The job is one he enjoyed, the money is good, the family who owns the business are wonderful and they actually came looking for him...that just doesn't happen very much in today's world! So as we are learning to more and more "Only trust Him" God is in control and although we may not always understand everything going on we must trust Him and allow Him to carry out His plans for us!!!

Please continue uplifting us in your prayers. We are waiting for the final Home Study Report (all the information is in). After we receive this we will send it in to the INS to get our Homeland Security clearance and at the same time we will begin working on our dossier to send to Latvia. Shortly (hopefully) after we send in our dossier to Latvia we will get an invitation to come there. On this first visit (1 of 3) we will have to stay approximately 14 days. Arturs will stay with us. There will be a social worker who will be checking in on us to see if we are compatible...if so she will make a recommendation to the officials and we will be able to file papers to adopt Arturs. We should be able to get temporary custody of him at that time and will be able to bring Arturs home to America with us. He will have to return for the other 2 visits, but more on that later.

We are so blessed!
