We are still waiting on our I-800a approval. We have our biometrics (finger printing) on Friday and hopefully everything will match up and we can get our approval letter by the end of April!
As soon as we have all our documents we can send them off to DC for the US and Chinese Consulate stamps of approval. Then we can send our Dossier to China (DTC)! We are praying for DTC by mid May Lord willing!
We are continuing to fund raise. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who have already bought t-shirts and/or given us money! We only have 19 days left to reach and exceed our goal of 150 shirts! We can sell 500 if we wanted! Share with your friends and family and neighbors. It really is a message of family. https://www.booster.com/joy-adoption-journey
Along the fundraising topic, we just got approved by connected hearts ministry to run a two week fund raising event. We will be listed on their web site in late summer just before we travel. So we will let you all know when you can donate towards our travel costs. The great thing about this ministry is that ALL Donations are tax deductible and we receive 100% of all donations! Check out the web site and share. We will let you know when our story is on the site!
In prayer group today I was blessed with this Psalm and want to share with you today.
Psalm 28
1 To you, Lord, I call;
you are my Rock,
do not turn a deaf ear to me.
For if you remain silent,
I will be like those who go down to the pit.
2 Hear my cry for mercy
as I call to you for help,
as I lift up my hands
toward your Most Holy Place.
you are my Rock,
do not turn a deaf ear to me.
For if you remain silent,
I will be like those who go down to the pit.
2 Hear my cry for mercy
as I call to you for help,
as I lift up my hands
toward your Most Holy Place.
3 Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with those who do evil,
who speak cordially with their neighbors
but harbor malice in their hearts.
4 Repay them for their deeds
and for their evil work;
repay them for what their hands have done
and bring back on them what they deserve.
with those who do evil,
who speak cordially with their neighbors
but harbor malice in their hearts.
4 Repay them for their deeds
and for their evil work;
repay them for what their hands have done
and bring back on them what they deserve.
5 Because they have no regard for the deeds of the Lord
and what his hands have done,
he will tear them down
and never build them up again.
and what his hands have done,
he will tear them down
and never build them up again.
6 Praise be to the Lord,
for he has heard my cry for mercy.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him.
for he has heard my cry for mercy.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him.
8 The Lord is the strength of his people,
a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.
9 Save your people and bless your inheritance;
be their shepherd and carry them forever.
a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.
9 Save your people and bless your inheritance;
be their shepherd and carry them forever.
God hears us when we cry out to him. He is our Shepherd forever. How blessed we are to be his Children. Praying God's blessings on you today.
