I've lost count of the number of miracles God has performed throughout this adoption, and specifically this trip. They are far too numerous. Our latest major obstacle (which I still cannot tell you about) has apparently been taken care of. This particular one actually had us pretty nervous too as it truly seemed that there was NO way around. But when God is involved, there is always a way. INCREDIBLE!!!!!
Friends, NEVER doubt God's sovereignty. After all, He is much bigger than you. Things may not go the way you had hoped, but make no mistake - He is bigger than all of it and is IN CONTROL. Never doubt Him or His ways.
Oh, and Erin is feeling much better!
PS - I've tried for the last hour to upload more pics, but our internet is just too weak here. So sorry!

Praise God! That is so awesome Jeremiah and Erin!!! Stacy and I were just talking about how God just always seems to provide just enough, but not too much that we forget about Him. Your testimony has been an awesome and constant reminder to us! Miss you both! Can't wait to see you both and the kids!

Praise the Lord and thank YOU for sharing this journey! I am eager to hear more details so we know what to expect! Thank you for pioneering this way ahead of all of the other families and children yet to come. And most especially, for giving God the glory. We are kindred spirits!
So grateful that Erin is feeling better and you are moving closer to coming home an expanded family!
Please do share the details when you are able, OK?
Love in Christ,
Nicole

We have been praying for you guys, what a testimony to God's loving kindness this process has been. And to see how he has repeatedly broken through obstacles and red tape. We will continue to pray, hopefully you, Erin, and the kids (that's cool to say!) will be home soon!

That was our Kidstreet lesson on Sunday....God is bigger than our biggest problem! Can't wait to dissect all of this with you guys and pick your brains about what we can expect.

I'm sure we were all thankful to get to see the pictures you were able to send. Looking forward to see the Smith family back home!

Hey, how's it going for your family?
just wondering what hotel you stayed in while in Kigali? Would you recommend for family traveling with 2 kids (older) to adopt 2 kids???
Thanks!
Blessings and peace to you!
