I Hope Something Good Happens Today

After a particularly rough day yesterday, my wife Betty said to Brianne and Kaitlyn this morning, “I hope something good happens today.” Today started out as a very busy and chaotic day and then……

While Betty and Katie were getting their hair cut and Betty received a call from Children’s Hope International. Have you ever had a day where events just send your adrenaline levels through the roof. Betty’s adrenaline rush shot her off like a rocket and she still not come back to earth!

Nicole told her WE HAVE A REFERRAL!!!!!!! She was just as excited as we are as this is the first Colombian referral Children’s Hope has received in the last 4 months. The Colombian program has slowed down as I mentioned in my last post because of an internal review of their procedures. We have really not been expecting a referral because of this internal review. This phone call took us completely by surprise and we are still trying to internalize all the news. We share an overwhelming sense that God’s hand is behind this referral, even though the details of the referral is not what we had asked Colombia for. We are so excited and grateful to God.

We will not be able to share photos for several weeks still, but here is what we can share:

We have been referred a sibling group of a 9 year old girl and a 6 year old boy from Cali, Colombia. They were orphaned in 2008. We are very limited in being able to share anything else until we are MUCH further along in the process. Keep us in your prayers and our new children as well. We will refer to them as A. and J. in future updates. Rejoice with us.
