EP!!

I am so thrilled to say that I just received the email from Holt saying that we have an approved EP (emigration permit). This essentially means that Korea has given permission for Claire to leave Korea! I can't believe it! So here is the tough part- her actual travel date could be weeks from now, a month or more. I am hopeful for a beginning of August arrival, but we will have to see what happens.

I have to always remember that God's timing is perfect! His plans are perfect and right even we don't see them. So, if August starts rolling through and little Claire isn't with us yet, I will take solace in knowing that God has a reason for it.

I just can't wait to hold her in my arms, to see her little face in front of me, to have her finally as a part of our family forever. It is so amazing how God is blessing us with this little sweet daughter from South Korea!!

Philippians 4:4-7

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
