So I spent today scanning and emailing our dossier
documents. Several times, because
apparently, I’m not so good at scanning.
Awesome. And let us never speak
of the number of times we had to go to the notary because I can’t seem to bring
all the papers at one time. My kids are
thankful for all of the extra lollipops the bank gave them.
While scanning, I re-read our homestudy. (Perhaps this is why I had to scan it three
times. Note to self: you are incapable
of multitasking. So stop trying.) And then it struck me. God really has been preparing us in advance
for this good work He’s planning to do in our family. Sure, Scripture tells us
that He does that. But it was neat to
take a pause and reflect upon it.
There is this whole section in the homestudy about how we
will handle any adversities that may arise medically or socially and how we
plan to instruct our kids on the culture of the Congo.
And folks, it’s pretty incredible.
So I’d like to thank God and let the following people know
that we see God at work in them in our lives so much that they even got ink in
our homestudy: Kim Eagle, Ali Shenk (so
I need to thank Mollie Burpo for introducing us), Carrington Castle, Lisa Cox
Nelson, Becky Hartman (again, Kim Forquer shout out for the FB introduction),
Jennifer Farkas, Dr. Greg Childress, Dr. Beth Marshall, Dr. Gray Snowden, Cindy
and Andy Schwarz, and Sarah and Max Doerfler.
You are our tangible great cloud of witnesses. Thank you ever so much for your part in
touching our hearts, educating us, and praying our family home.
