I haven't written much since our last court date two weeks ago. I haven't had a whole lot to say, and from the moment we got the date for our next court date, I began planning. Planning how and what we were going to do to get us to this next date...6 WEEKS AWAY. I immediatley called Carey and said, "Come", we have had play-dates right and left, I have non-stop craft projects going on, late night chats and movies with my besties, grandparents are coming, and of course school which I am determined to finish before Hannah gets home. It is not an easy wait time but in the end I hope to say we waited well.
My heart is holding fast to His words and His promises and the fact that He does indeed work for our good (Romans 8:28). Funny how the Lord meets you in the very moment of need, once again through my kid's homeschool cirriculum. Our memory phrase the week following our Feb. 7 court date was this...

I will remember what God has done for me.
How great is this!?! And what perfect timing. 1 Chrionicles 16:11&12 states, "Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced." Yes Lord, you have done GREAT things for us; in our marriage, in our children, in our families, in our church and the greatest good of all, his Son. He provided what we could not do for ourselves and now Christ's righteousness is my righteousness. No greater love! And that is our hope and where our trust resides. Though this time will seem only brief in the long run (Lord willing) we are praying for strength to wait well, for His glory. And as my husband reminds me, continue in our sanctification.
Until then, our agency continues to send videos and pictures of our baby girl and we can't get enough them. The kids love it! We all love it! When that little white envelope with CCI on the return label appears in the mail we take off running through the door, throw everything on the floor and pop the disk into the computer as quickly as we can. Oh, she's lovely!

And our sweet friends who we met in Ethiopia went back last week to get their kiddos and were so kind to take some pictures of Baby Hannah. Thank you, Quinn's. So, so good to see her.
(So I guess I had a lot more to say than I thought. Ha!)

I wonder how much of this time Abigail will remember when she is older. I can see the excitement in her eyes. Hannah looks beautiful and healthy. I'm amazed at how strong she looks! We are praying with y'all during the wait.
oh sweet friend!! We are standing with you in prayer and trusting the Lord in this. We love you guys.
Brings tears to my eyes just thinking about you having to wait to hold your baby girl! I'm so glad I get to hold mine now, but we're right here waiting with you for the courts to bring good news! Praying for you to bring baby Hannah home soon!
