New Court Date!!! Prayer time!!

Our original court date was April 3 and we found out today that this has been moved to March 26th! While we are THRILLED at the prospect of becoming Nya's legal family sooner than expected, we are also a little concerned about paperwork issues. Short explanation: We moved from Louisiana to Mississippi in September and Clayton also changed jobs and income brackets. Because of all these changes, we have had to RE-DO our homestudy (aka THE GOLDEN KEY OF ADOPTION!). This is a time consuming process to say the least. We are nearing the end of the document re-gathering phase, but a few pieces are out of our control: FBI background check, social worker's final draft, and MOST IMPORTANTLY the updated homestudy being sent to USCIS and then forwarded to Ethiopia ON TIME (before I travel). So, once again we go to the Lord in faith that He will cause this to be a YES all the way through. We have watched Him move mountains that seemed so large throughout the course of this adoption and throughout our lives. We need to pass court on March 26th and we need to bring this beautiful, amazing person home to be with her family. Please join us in going before our God on her behalf so that "the poor have HOPE and INJUSTICE SHUTS ITS MOUTH!!!" (JOB 5:16).
