Approved in our state... on to the next

Today was a great day concerning all of our paperwork! Our Home study had been completed in Michigan a few weeks ago, and we were just waiting on the criminal clearances. Mine came back within a few weeks, but Mike's took about 7 weeks. We were anxious to get them so that we could have final approval in Michigan and then turn everything in to our agency in Texas for approval there. God is good and his timing is always perfect! Everything came in today and we mailed it all down to Texas AND we received a current photo of our daughter – she is beautiful! We can't wait to meet her!

"But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, wait patiently, for it surely will take place. It will not be delayed." ~ Habakkuk 2:3

"Scared" by Tom Davis



Since I have been so impacted by two of Tom Davis's books, Fields of the Fatherless and Red Letters, I am anxious to read his latest novel, Scared.

An excerpt from an interview with Tom Davis...

My passion is driven from the core belief that not only can everyone in the West do something to help children trapped in poverty, they must. God’s kingdom comes when God’s people tackle issues like these and change the circumstances because of their love. We are the answer, that’s why we must act.
