2 posts in one day could only mean...

that we got good news. Not our LOA (which I know that is what you were thinking). This news is equally awesome. Phone rang, looked at called ID, Shaohannah's Hope, they would only call with good news, right?, heart pounding, picked up phone, talked with a very sweet lady. Drum roll, please.... we have been awarded a grant from them. Praise God! God is so good. Just when we need a little encouragement. This is indeed confirmation that God is in charge of and guiding our journey to bring our son home.

Last week we received the news that we would not be receiving a grant from an agency we had applied to. We are still waiting to hear from one more organization. We need approximately another $5,000 to pay for our travel expenses and orphanage fees. God has blessed us and we are excited to see how He is going to meet this last little bit. Please continue to pray that we will continue to rest in Him and His provision.

Just a little plug for Shaohannah's Hope- Steven Curtis Chapman and his family are in China right now. This past weekend was the grand opening of Maria's Big House of Hope. Marybeth, his wife, has been blogging and posting pictures about their trip. You can read more about it at http://chapmanchannel.typepad.com/marybeth/
