Not easy as we thought…

Dear friends, We are grateful for our health and that our lives are full of opportunities to impact our community, invest into the lives of our grown kids, speak destiny, influence, praying for/with younger leaders, encouraging colleagues to stay on track and refocus when needed. Our daily goal is to be intentional to take time to listen to God’s voice, then obey and never give up. Arnie’s adoption process continues. The paperwork from Thai government arrived, after our successful court appearance on March 22nd.  HOWEVER, we thought this would be the final step, stating we are officially his parents, BUT… several days ago, after a visit to social development office, we have found there is more to the process. We now need to go to the social welfare department head office, in Bangkok. So, would you pray with us, that these next steps, will also go smoothly and quickly? As we had planned trips to Australia and America to visit family WITH ARNIE in the next year. At this time, we have no idea of the length of this process with social development, but we have an appointment with them this next week on Tuesday, May 30. We know God puts orphans in families and He is FOR this process, so we are asking for a miracle and we chose to look up to Jesus and not look at our circumstances, believing God is not surprised by this. He will make a way.  Thanks for believing in our lives, thanks for partnering with us, by giving to our cause, by praying, helping to keep us accountable and by encouraging us. We appreciate you, our team of partners, our family and friends. Peace, Paul & Penny
