Happy Easter!!!
I do believe the songbirds are singing more beautifully this morning! Gratitude overwhelms me. Jesus has won the battle over death and hell FOR US!!!! We can be together for eternity in God's presence . . .
. . . do you know that yet, MeiLi? I'm praying that Jesus speaks to you today.
Yesterday we received provisional approval for our "Petition to Classify Adoptee as an Immediate Relative". There are only 3 more steps to go before we get our date to travel!!! In fact, we are essentially done with our paperwork (until we travel).
A few days ago, I re-read a packet of materials Holt sent us called "While You Wait". It includes info on what it's like to travel to China and in China, advice about the culture (like: how to cross the street - no kidding!), and much more. It also included suggested packing lists! The thrill and anticipation is escalating!
Our group of "Parents in Process" met yesterday evening. It is so amazing to hear each story. We are 4 couples in 4 different stages of the process, encouraging and praying for one another. Please pray with us, that God will supply all our needs, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus - while believing that He Who began a good work in us will be faithful to complete it!!!! One of the families is "on hold", (even though they already have been matched with a beautiful little boy in Ethiopia), because of some governmental policy changes. Please pray specifically for them that they will bring him home as soon as possible.
It's a rare day today - not only because it's the time of year we celebrate Jesus rising from the dead, but (and not comparably) also because I was up before the sun. (Thus, the songbirds . . . ) I'm just that excited! Now I just have to wait for Doug to get up so we can hide chocolate eggs for the big hunt this morning.
Happy happy Easter!!!

oooooooooooooooooo I can feel the excitement! O Holy One, bless MeiLi this day. (I feel like she is separated from her family now.)Just think, next year she will be finding those hidden eggs with you!
Bless the Aldridge family. Give them wisdom and grace to complete this part of the journey and may their lives be full of grace and glory with MeiLi.
love you all,
Andrea
Thanks for asking for prayers on our behalf. We truly appreciate them! And we will be praying for you as you get closer to travel and meeting your beautiful little girl. Happy Easter!
Thank you much for sharing the process with others. I have been thinking of you and your little girl. This morning, I was thinking how much fun(and how nice) it will be to have a little child in your house every day!!!!!!
I can feel the anticipating from a half hour away between our two home!! I know God is doing so much in your lives even at this waiting(and working on all the details) stage. He is so awesome!
Hope you had a great Easter. Love, Stephanie
