This time next week
Well, we are finally down to less than a week until we leave for Vietnam. It is amazing when I think back about all that God has done to bring us to this point. His faithful fingerprints are all over this adoption. Last week I just found a picture of Ethan and Kayla coloring in a "thermometer" poster that we made to chart the Lord's provision for our adoption. God has now provided way above and beyond what that thermometer was originally intended to hold. For me the things that God has provided that mean the most are not the financial provision(although that is overwhelming and humbling), it is the many people that are prayerfully supporting us and encouraging us. God has put us in a place, where we feel an overwhelming sense of support and care. Even a friend of Kayla's is taking the time to write her a note each day we are away. We are seeing the Body of Christ at work in some incredible ways. So, I want to end this post with a verse of scripture that has always been dear to me. . . "Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus thoughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen." Ephesians 3:20,21

Eric and Kim,
AMEN! We are sooooo excited to see how God has done "exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we can ask or think" as we've prayed with you through this process (I still remember one of Coach's Friday night talks back in high school on that very verse!)! We can't wait to see and hear about the continued adventures that God will take you through in Vietnam and we are praying with you. Of course, we are thrilled that we can "share" in this time with you as we're expecting our next kiddo to come along any day now too! May God continue to surround you with His peace through these days ahead.
We love you TONS!
Dan and Michelle, Hannah and Baby #2
