How great and how mighty and how good is our God! The paperwork came in this morning. Our awesome adoption agency looked over it. While there are a couple of things to clarify in the next couple weeks it is complete and our I600 was sent off today! Hip Hip Hooray! In addition our agency's director wrote up a wonderful report about "M^"s health in an effort to expedite the case. So, we pray for things to move more quickly because of that. God is Good!
What this means now . . . we will wait to hear from the US government as to the receipt of our information packet. They will do an investigation of their own. We will wait for a PAIR letter to be issued so that we can be submitted for a court date in Ethiopia. The answer to the big question . . . When do you get her home? It's still looking like possibly late summer. We'll see as the process unfolds. Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers!
and now . . . a Lenten Devotion
"What is truth?" (John 18:38)
When Pilate asks this of Jesus it may not have been the time to go into a deeply theological conversation about what truth really is. However, it was a really intriguing question. Jesus says "I am the way, the truth and the life." So many times we get wrapped up with truth being the actual historical reality. It sounds like Jesus is talking about something much more. Does truth have to be linked solely to actual historical reality? Can truth transcend the need to plot things on a timeline and corroborate evidence. It sounds like Jesus tells us truth lies in the love and grace of God. God's love brings us truth. If that's the way we can view truth what does that truth look like for you?
