"You greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 1:6-7

Gripped by the greatness of God!


Ryan and I are currently taking a Bible Study class called, Gripped by the Greatness of God. During this adoption process, we have totally surrendered to God's will. We know that this process is very long and often difficult. We are filled with his peace because we KNOW that this is His will for our family.


There are many great stories of how God has worked through this adventure and today is no exception. Part of the adoption process involves getting permission from the United States government to adopt internationally. It entails getting fingerprints and another background check. Once the fingerprints are taken, it usually takes 6-8 weeks for approval.


Our fingerprints were taken on March 17th and we just received our I-171H approval today...12 days after submission. I know, with my whole heart, that God's hand has been on our family through this process...and I am GRIPPED BY HIS GREATNESS!!!
