Elianah


Please join us in prayer as we head back to highcourt in the morning. The process of adoption is farely simple for us, however, it takes three years. One of the steps, so that we can travel outside the country with the kids, is to obtain legal guardianship. Last month was our third trip to highcourt--this time for Elianah! However, the judge that we had is new and is requiring an extra legal document (that our lawyer had no idea about at the time). Thankfully we were easily able to obtain the needed document and reschedule to go back to highcourt in the morning. Please join us in prayer as this new judge has been a bit difficult. We know that the Lord is able to give us favor, just as he did with Eliza and Ezra. We will be at court tomorrow morning--October 15th-- at 9am East Africa time which is October 14th at 11pm West Coast time. Thank you for standing in the gap with us.

45 minutes until you appear before the court.

I pray that the peace and strength of Christ will abound in each of your hearts as you await the hearing. I pray that you would be comforted knowing that God has planned for you to be Elianah's parents and that He is the MOST high judge!! Nothing can be added or taken away from His power!! May the court preceedings be fast and may the judge's heart be impacted by your faithfulness, love, patience, and dedication to this child.

The favor of the LORD rests upon you!
