Free at LAST!

This has been an incredibly emotional day!  I awoke to 2 emails from Sue (she is completely tireless in her work to bring the children she represents home!), our agency director.   The first said that we didn't pass court because the person responsible for showing up at court didn't come.  The second said that the reason was because our other 2 children, Mercy and Isaiah, are now on their way to being released!!  The prayer all along has been for no one to be left behind....for all to be set free, and God has done it in His most perfect way.  




I can't wait to be able to tell the whole, beautiful story.  Our new court date is December 18.  What I know for sure is that PRAYER MOVES MOUNTAINS!  There have been SO many praying saints continually lifting up our children since April.....we are eternally grateful!!!


The Lord their God will save them on that day
   as the flock of His people.
They will sparkle in His land
   like jewels in a crown.
How attractive and beautiful they will be!
   Grain will make the young men thrive,
   and new wine the young women.
Zechariah 9:16
