September Numbers

We have now officially been on the waiting list for 4 months. We had hoped that we would be further down the wait list by this point, but the law changes in Ethiopia seem to really have slowed things down. Therefore our numbers this month haven't really moved much. We are 23 on the boy list and 39 on the girl list. I could write a very long email on my thoughts on what is going on and why things have slowed down but I'm not going to. All I am going to do is ask that everyone be praying for the process in Ethiopia to run smoother as they figure out how the law changes will work and that each child who needs a family will come home in God's perfect timing. My plans would be for that to happen sooner rather than later, but we know that God's timing is perfect. As Habbakuk says..."these plans I have for you will surely come...they will not be late by a single day." So we cling to that hope. Please pray for us to have peace in this difficult waiting period.
