Prayer Request!

Please keep our family and kids in your prayers. Things are moving really slowly for all of the cases in Ethiopia right now. It would appear that there are new requirements asking that any relatives be present at Court. This is difficult because of transportation, communication etc. Plus the people are afraid to show up because they are really poor and believe the courts will force them to take care of the children of extended relatives even when they have no money. This is not true but it tends to deter people from being present.

In our case, the mother is deceased, Ejigayehu's father is deceased and Kidist and Yared's father is HIV positive. The grandmother is alive but cannot care for them.Please pray the courts on 11/13 are lenient and that whatever relatives that need to be there are present and the kids can come home to our family......

Hello Sweet Sista,

Just caught up on your blog! I know how hard it is to wait. This is definately a season of testing our faith isn't it? Just remember God's timing is PERFECT! He will bring us all home together exactly when it is time. This is a lot like being pregnant...the due date is set and then we keep going and going...But, once the baby comes, we are exhausted and the real journey begins. So, try to enjoy these last days of life as we know them because we will never be the same again. I'm praying for lots of sleep over the next two weeks. LOVE YA and praying for you! See ya soon...In His Timing & Care, Eileen
