Good evening. We had a little setback which has me a bit disappointed but we know these are inevitable. We had set up our second home study meeting for Thursday night and had a bit of a plan to pay for it but that fell through. The meeting is to be set for another time. Please pray specifically for the finances for this part. Kevin has completed the jobs he had until now and only has one in the works. So (with a smile on my face) please pray for Kevin to get more jobs so he can be away from home more:) Seriously, a couple of jobs would be good just to get through the next step. It was a bit of a blessing to have the meeting canceled because this week I am packing for 9 people to be away from home 10 days. I was getting a bit anxious for how clean should I have the house for this meeting. What do you think? Should we paint the bathroom and tile the floors and replace the garage door and fix the broken window or should we let her see the place as we live in it? One reason we decided now was the time to adopt and not when "all" the projects around here were done was then we would never adopt. The projects when you own a home are never ending. The trip to Spokane, WA is getting us excited. We are attending an Adopting Older Children from Ethiopia training there next week. We are taking the bus and Kevin and Troy just got the air conditioner installed today. The fridge is the next order of business and then we will be road ready. We are looking forward to next year's trip to Somewhere, USA with all of our children (adopted too).
Emily picked out today's verse:
I Corinthians 13:13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Praying for you guys!! .... may the true provider be glorified as HE takes you through each step of this awesome journey. We are deeply encouraged as we see you following the Lord to welcome His children into your precious family. I'll never forget Kevin sitting at our table in Lisbon, telling of your hope to one day do this .. and look at you now!! We are believing with you that the Lord will prepare a way for you to get to Ethiopia and we long to meet your new children!! Blessings! ~ The Roberts Family
Oh, Steph, I'm so sorry that "the plan" didn't pan out. I will join you in praying for the money to come through.
I wish we were joining you on your roadtrip! You will have an amazing time! :)
