Just keep swimming....

We are almost done with our adoption education! YAY! a couple online courses to take, and we will be done. EXCEPT for one thing. I have to find a traditional Ethiopian recipe to prepare and try, OR we are supposed to find an Ethiopian restaurant. Nearest is Seattle or Portland, so that's out. Yes, I could totally lie and say I did it, the little angle on my shoulder would say "tisk, tisk". SO, does anyone know where I can buy teff and berbere? ;) Apparently Ethiopian cuisine is extremely spicy, so this should be interesting. PEPPER is too hot for this white girl!! haha!
We are getting SO many positive comments and prayers about our adoption journey, it just makes me all fuzzy inside!! If you would have told me that we were going to be adopting an Ethiopian child, oh say 10 years ago, I would have said you were CRAZY! Are you kidding? I have barely gotten out of Washington, I HATE bugs, and I really HATE shots.It's an amazing feeling, though....just listening to Him.  I am so thankful that we are children and servants of God, and are doing this work through Him. He is guiding us, He is encouraging us as well. He is AMAZING! and HE WILL PROVIDE!! I am faithful in that, even though the cost of this journey is overwhelming at times. Thank you all who have donated to our cause thus far! Right now, we are consumed with the amount of paperwork to complete, but after this part is over, there will be nothing to do but wait. SOO....stay tuned for some fundraisers! We would love your hand-me-downs for our yard sale we are planning!
Thank you, our faithful friends and family! We love you all!
