A Plea To Prayer Warriors!!

 

We received an email on Friday from our POA (Power of Attorney) in Ghana.  We had been waiting for a response to confirm that the paperwork we sent was done correctly and wouldn’t need to be changed or re-done.  He did confirm that our paperwork is in order and that we are now waiting for the Social Welfare to finish with their work; the paperwork can then be filed and we will know the court date.  As in everything with this process so far, we have no idea how long that could take.  We are realizing though that really it doesn’t matter what we are told about how long it will take because it will likely not be an accurate estimate.  I don’t believe that it is intentional, just the mode in Africa.  We are accustomed to the US and people demanding timeframes and expecting things to be done in that timeframe.  In this situation we cannot rely on timeframes given to us.  We know beyond know that God is in control of all timeframes and that really, no matter what we are told, it is only His timeframe that will play out.  We are feeling a strong need to call all those around us to PRAY for this little girl we have been referred and PRAY that the process will continue so that her permanency can be determined. 

 

We have been overwhelmed with the financial support we have received in this process … overwhelmed is an understatement really.  God has now brought in over $17,000 for our adoption and the confirmation that this is where we need to be has not gone unnoticed.  When God calls He will provide … I hope that anyone reading this can see this as a testament to His provision and plans.  We could have not imagined that amount of money coming in but God knows exactly what is needed and He moves in ways beyond our understanding.  If He is calling you to something please see through our process that obedience is all He asks of us … He has it all covered and He will provide, guide and plan it all for you! 

 

Anyway, back to my original request … will you please PRAY with us?  We are asking for concentrated prayer for this sweet girl waiting in Ghana … please pray that the Social Welfare would finish their work so that the paperwork can be filed and a court date can be established.  We do not know if we will be traveling for this first court date, but our prayer is that the date can be established.  God can move mountains, we believe that to the core, and ask that you pray for this with us!
