October 20, 2006 We have a Court Date!
It’s me, Kathie. Praise be to God we will go to court on Friday, October 27th at 4 p.m.
The 10 day waiting period following will be up on November 7th. Elliott’s 16th birthday is November 6th! We did not expect to be able to get the court date until Monday, October 30th, so once again God’s timing is perfect and He has granted us favor!
My prayer request today concerns my husband. He is trying to keep up with the boys and behaving like he was 16 again. So far he has played soccer, basketball, did cartwheels in the orphanage hallways and climbed a rope 20 feet up straight up! I realize we are not yet “Abraham and Sarah” but neither are we TARZAN and Jane!
Yesterday we walked to the orphanage (45 minutes) and played with the boys. Elliott left last night to go to Mariupol (1 hour away) to visit his sister at her request. He went with our facilitator, Olas by cab, as Olas was leaving on the train to Kiev (with our paperwork). I was immediately concerned about this trip. Has he ever done this before? How would he get back to the orphanage, would he know phone numbers to call if he got lost, etc. It is not that we aren’t happy for him to go but the “Mama” thing kicked in! Then I remembered that God knew exactly where he was going and how he would get back and I just needed to pray and TRUST. Will I ever really grasp that concept?

Kath - I think bringing these boys home will keep you & Dave young! You'll be doing things that you never would have dreamed! I'm so glad you got your court date. Tyler is probably just as excited for you to come home! Love, Janie
the boys are wonderfully handsome and so ukrainian!
Congrads on an awesome day the Lord has granted upcoming
For this I know that the Lord favors you, because he has not allowed the enemy to triump over you. God always make what seems impossible possible. Take note of the November 7th date. The number 7 represent completion; I know God has ordained this chapter in your lives. Keep the faith and continue to trust in God and lean not to your own understanding.
