PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


There were some very important words heard today in a court room in Ghana at 1:30PM, Ghana time. The words were not heard at the scheduled time in the morning, documents were missing, neither the clerk or the judge could find the filed paperwork, the judge could not continue with the proceeding. So she (the judge) attended to some criminal cases, later to return at 1:30PM. Faithful and kind Bernard stuck around ther court house, the documents were found, and the judge said "ADOPTION GRANTED!"

PRAISE the LORD!

Give THANKS to the LORD, for he is good!

His love endures FOREVER!

Psalm 106
YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

YIPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
YAHOOOOOOOOOO!!
WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THANK YOU Jesus!


Meet our beatiful new daughter, beautiful on the inside and outside!

The pictures tell a story, the story being the first time I got to meet her in August! The pictures remind me of why I immediately told Sam we should name her JOY!!!!!!

Meet Ella Annaleise Joy, our precious new 4 year old daughter!
PLEASE PRAISE JESUS WITH US!
PLEASE KEEP THE REST OF THE PAPERCHASE IN PRAYER WITH US!
(Ella's passport is next on our prayer list, not the death certificate which we thought it would be (which we now have - THANK YOU Jesus)! There is a typo on Ella's passport, so we have to apply for a new one!)

THANK YOU AMAZING Romana and Bernard for EVERYTHING you are doing! THANK YOU for working so hard on the behalf of our new daughter, and for us! THANK YOU for allowing God to do repeated miracles through you! Thank you for the MIRACLE of our new daughter! We are eternally grateful!


THANK YOU AMAZING Carrie for EVERYTHING you do for us on the US side of things! Thank you for constant support and encouragment! Thank you for daily letting me see Jesus in you, you are a constant inspiration!
