Wednesday, Jan. 31st-
In God's perfect timing and along with his perfectly planned will we received an email today from Tatyana simply staing "We've WON!" and it was the most wonderful two words in an email I've read in a long time!
PRAISE THE LORD! There's not much else to do when the moving truck is in your driveway and you find out that the child that you met, fell in love with, and went to court to officially adopt is YOURS to come and get!
PRAISE THE LORD!
It was early afternoon when Chris checked email (begrudgingly at my request)... another Wednesday- let's just get through the big move- and he showed up a few moments later with the email in his hand (he printed it at Angie's) and we just cried and rejoiced and had that moment of AWE and RELIEF and so much more. In fact, it's after midnight, we're at the Busby's already, and we're still pretty much reeling from the fact that God's perfect timing is... well... perfect. It's hard to put into words.
In a few days we will have more specific travel dates and then one of us will apply for a tourist visa to return for Emily. We don't know who's going yet.
We're exhuasted to say the least... time to turn in for the night.
Thank you doesn't cover how we feel about you all- your prayers, your words of encouragement, your phone calls, your compassion--- we're just overwhelmed with JOY that our God is such a God of great detail. He knew it would be our last day in Yuma. He knew the truck would be in the driveway. He knew we would be exactly where we were, doing what we were doing...
Emily's coming home!
Yippeeeeeeee!
