Here we go again!

I decided it was time to start another blog - one to journal the events leading up to baby #2. There are already wonderful things happening on our Korean adoption journey! God has already moved mightily and we are excited to see what else He has in store for us.
Our paperwork is finished. Our homestudy is completed and will be sent to Korea shortly. We have the money to pay our agency's fees and we even have some money in our savings account to go toward the LARGE fee that will be due when we get our referral! We were sent two very generous gifts in the mail from loving, caring, generous friends...we are SO very blessed!

God just keeps reminding me that He is IN this with us, and we have no reason to worry. Anytime I feel anxious, I just close my eyes and cast my cares on Him.
Jay and I are working a ton. During the week we see each other very little...but this is a temporary situation. I am already thinking of ways to change our work situation - it will happen, sooner rather than later. (God has already shown me what I need to do.) I'll quote a book that I'm reading right now "I will believe that what God has placed inside me is superior to the mountains that stand in my way." Amen, and Amen!

So, Baby Korea: we are thinking of you, praying for you, loving you, working hard to bring you home, and waiting as patiently as we can until that day arrives.
XO Mom, Dad, and Lily
