3 x 2 = 6

Psalm 94:19 says, "When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul."

We are so happy to announce that God has revealed His plan to multiply our family. We received a referral Thursday afternoon and were surprised that it wasn't one child or even two but THREE! It's hard to put into words the joy we are all experiencing at the thought of being able to bring home these 3 precious children. Chernet is (about) 7 and a boy, Mulunesh is (about) 4 and a girl, and Woubet is (about 2) and a girl. Their ages and genders are a perfect match for Tommy (10), Victor (8), and Vanessa (almost 5).

Our heads are spinning as we try to comprehend what this will look like for our family. Focusing on the unknown, however, can become overwhelming, so we are just continuing to do what God has been preparing us to do through the waiting and that is trust that He has it all covered. As a reminder of this, Psalm 94:19 will remain on our refrigerator next to the pictures of these gifts God is giving us.

Tommy's reaction was, "SWEET!". Victor wants to know when we can go get them. Vanessa's first question was, "Do I get to be in charge of the girls?"

Please pray that our process to court and then to bring them home will be quick and without any hurdles. We will post pictures once they are officially Rowes.

Job 22:21-30 "Yield now and be at peace with Him; Thereby good will come to you. Please receive instruction from His mouth and establish His words in your heart...For then you will delight in the Almighty and lift up your face to God.
