We will praise you while we're waiting!

And the waiting continues...
This week we heard exciting news for Operation Love the Children of Haiti (OLTCH), the orphanage where Rodner lives.  Four families that are currently in the adoption process of beautiful children from OLTCH received the Presidential Dispensation that is needed by most and possibly all of us in order to move onto the next step.  This is wonderful news!  While I wish that Rodner's name was on that list, I will continue to trust in God's perfect timing for this amazing plan that He has put into place.

Proverbs 3:5-6 says “Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not upon your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your path.” 

From what I understand, the Presidential Dispensation happens in the Haitian Social Services Department or the IBESR.  I have heard that currently there are 200 to 600 adoption files sitting in the IBESR waiting for the needed signatures to move to the next step.  Rodner's file is one of the hundreds waiting.  Please pray with us for God's hand to be upon all of the files and to move them through the IBESR and the following steps quickly.  Prayer will bring Rodner and his friends home!  We are sure of that.  Please also pray for the families that have received the signatures that they will be blessed with the knowledge to know what to do next and the intuition to know who to contact when additional help/guidance is necessary.

Thank you for your prayers and for you love.  May God's blessings be upon you and your family.
