Officially waiting for our court date/travel dates

Yesterday, I sat down to study God's Word.  I reflected on Isaiah 40:29-31 and Psalm 27:14.  God reminded me that a few months or even years is not so long to wait for his plan.  I felt such comfort spending time dwelling on this life and His timing.  He has provided everything we need for this transition and in a year, we will look back at this time in a totally different light.  I realized during this time, that I have a HUGE list of "to-do's" to finish up before we get Jonah.  So, I made a plan for finishing up some of these tasks and in the process, He [God] restored my HOPE!

Fast forward to the end of my day.... I had emailed the adoption agency with a couple of questions, so I decided to check that particular email account. 
 To my delight, there was an email waiting for us:

EP approved 1/29
Submitted to court 2/5
Jonah Mingyu's medical tests showed THE HOLE IN HEART HAS CLOSED!!!!

We are now in our last step waiting to go meet our little guy.  We now wait for our Korean judge to assign us a court date.  At that point, we make travel plans and buy our plane tickets.  Remember, this step can still be unpredictable and can vary from 4 weeks to 4 months.  

Please continue to pray for us and our waiting.  I hear that this is a difficult waiting period because you are literally waiting to find out when you can go meet your child.

In our wait...we praise and worship our God.
