We even went to the circus-although you can "enjoy" the circus at our house at any time for free. :) But it was a fun, almost free event, so how could I resist?
Now that Ulla has returned home and our dossier is officially in Vika's country being translated and waiting to be submitted, she expects me to at least keep her updated here. I promise I will update more frequently so you guys can follow along and pray with us through each new milestone. Yes, we finally received our final approval (aka Golden Ticket) from the Department of Homeland Security. YIPPEE!!!! It was a rollercoaster ride to get it here, but through it all, God was so faithful. Thanks to the Reynolds family, we got our dossier to Vika's country overnight, literally! THANK YOU!!!Speaking of the Reynolds family, please help lift them up in prayer as they are officially in country right now to adopt their two precious girls, Leigha and Aurora. For anyone, who would like to make a commitment to be a prayer warrior for them as they are in country and completing their adoption and beyond, I will add a piece in your honor to their quilt in memory of their baby Dasha. Please leave me a comment if you would like to have a part in this very important ministry.

But God has done so much for us since we first went on this journey. I was reminded on Sunday in church, how great a price He had to pay for my salvation, my adoption into His family. I deserved the cross, and yet Jesus died on the cross for ME, in my place! All of the heartaches, all of the time spent, all of the hardships, all of the money spent, all of the sacrifices we have experienced through this adoption journey to Vika, don't even begin to come close to what Jesus did for us so we could be adopted into His family!
