We are going to Ghana!!!

At my favorite time of year the holiday we are so lucky to being going to Ghana in less than two weeks!!!!!We have wanted to adopt from Ghana since 2007.  We had a little girl picked out and she was reunited with extended family so we put these plans on hold.  In 2007 we started on Elijah's adoption in May and then started on Sneha's in September.  Since Sneha had multiple special needs I was required to meet her in India before formally committing to adopt her. November of 2007 turned my world upside down forever upon traveling to India . Elijah came home from China in Feb 2008 and upon our return Brent was laid off from his job. Elijah need major skull reconstruction surgery and thankfully he received this in May, the surgeon knew the time issue with insurance running out and provided for him.  India adoption is a very slow process so we kept plugging away at Sneha's paper work. In the mean time Brent acquired the best job ever to work and help students go to Ch*na to teach English.  This too was short lived with the economic down turn and the loss of a huge donor. So Brent was laid off again and the social worker was coming to do Elijah's last post placement report and then she would find out about the lay off and it would interfere with the India adoption.  Fast forward, we prayed for a miracle and Brent found a job in less than one week and we had to move to Sterling Colorado at the end of school 2009.  Brent went ahead and worked in Sterling until we could come.  The adoption stayed on track, God is so faithful.  Sneha came home in November 2009.  December 2010 we heard about Beacon House and started to think about our adoption through Ghana.  We started the process in January 2011 our third adoption.  A slow start with paper work, and the paper in town is having trouble, could it happen again?  Spring time comes and Brent knows that it is just a matter of time before his job is downsized.  June 2011 it happened again.  The good news is that this time we do not let the stress ruin our time together.  Cast all of your cares upon the Lord for He is faithful !!!!!We knew that if God wanted Joyce to come home he would provide a good job in a time economic down turn.  Our God is bigger than any problem here on earth.  Pray and pray some more, and remember or try to all in good time.  It is such a helpless feeling to know we can do nothing physically to make things happen.  Just because we can do something doesn't always mean that we should.  Brent wanted out of newspapers!!!!!Out of newspaper he is and he works at a public utility district a service everyone needs!!!!!!God is faithful to provide a nice house, beautiful view, and being able to comlete a Ghana adoption.
