HOME VISIT DONE!!!!

This past Thursday I completed the home visit required for my adoption process.  Now is the wait until July that my paperwork will be turned in to be approved for adoption.  During this time I will complete the last few classes for my Master's degree.  Pray with me as I look into which little girl will be mine.  Which medical issues will not be a problem or hindrance to traveling?

In the core of my spirit is feels a little unreal.  I am getting advise from moms who have adopted.  I know that God has prepared me for the next level of learning- to be a mom.  What I will do on that learning curve !?!?!?!

Keep praying

Visa-IN HAND

PRAISE GOD!!!!!!

My Pupil pass (student Visa) is FINALLY in hand and in my passport. It came through without any EXTRA support but the prayers of the saints. THANK YOU!  The visa expires in two years.  Enough time for me to finish everything I need to do.  I will continue taking classes to support the visa.

This THURSDAY the 17th is my home visit for the adoption.  They will look over everything to makes sure I have a home good enough to house a child.  I do:). After the home visit my paperwork will be submitted in July.  Lord's will if there are no delays I will be prayerfully selecting a child late July or August. The first month is visits in the home and afterwards she will be able to come home with me.  I am praying for the first part of September.   

School- down to my last three classes and thesis.  The process to finish the thesis will be demanding.  I have submitted my proposal but haven't heard from the school.

Mission teaching week- Praise God just finish teaching and leading small groups for the Karios Mission Course here in Nairobi.  We had 18 students and 8 teachers and leaders.  I love teaching this class.  Chris and Nadine from Australia lead the courses. 


Small group teaching- I have been assisting Christ Covenant Church with starting their small group program.  We have done two training sessions and I am praying to meet with the leaders monthly to establish their program.
