Nursery Pictures While We Wait

"Then Joshua said to the people, 'Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.'" Joshua 3:5

We have most definitely seen the Lord do wonders among us! He has provided, now, over $27,000 for us to go get these precious little ones and love them with His hands and feet. He has moved "mountains" throughout this process and now, as we wait for the last few hurdles, we would love to share some pictures of the room (we are *almost* finished with) these little ones will come home to.  We hope they know they are treasured first and foremost by their Heavenly Father, and after, by us.  We love you, Judah and Jewel!!

Judah's side!

This print is hanging over his bed. The prints were all done SO well by Katie Rhoads over at her Etsy shop,

  The Educated Owl.  She did an amazing job! Thanks, Katie!!

Judah-man's little bunny that was given to him!

Jewel's side!

Her sweet baby dolls:

The prints hanging over the changing table are below. Hanging, also, are the first pics of the babies we got from the orphanage.

Please excuse the terrible quality of this picture, as it was taken of the computer screen :).

Where they will be rocked to sleep.. hopefully! :)

Caitlyn painted this picture for their room!! We think she did a great job!

I thought I'd also show our cloth diaper stash.. why not??

Here are the blankets **in progress** I'm making them.  I still have to put the satin on the backs and lining. It'll happen.. one day.

Lastly, why not bust up the fairy tale.. here's what the room looks like today! We're almost all packed!!

Praises and Prayer Requests:

Praising God that we were APPROVED by SDHR in Alabama!! Wahhooooo! This was a huge hurdle!

USCIS, on the other hand, requested more information (by phone) and we gave them what we had. We are not sure if it will be sufficient. We found out today that a decision has been made, but that we will find out via mail! SNAIL MAIL. That's okay.. for whatever reason, waiting on God is the theme and it's a good one. We will choose to worship while we wait.  We should receive the letter Friday, Saturday, or Tuesday. It could be one of two things: a formal request for additional information or APPROVAL. We are praying for the latter. It could take some time to get the information they are requesting, but if we have to do it, we have to do it. And we will wait again. Please pray with us (and for us)!

Please, also, pray that there will be room on the planes we're hoping for and rooms available at the guesthouse we've been in contact with for whenever we receive word that we're approved (if we are approved).

Thanks again, pray warriors and supporters! We love you and thank you for walking this journey with us!

To God be the Glory,

Kimberly
