HE'S ABLE...Mountain Moving God: I600 APPROVAL!!!!!

Finally....we got our I600 approval in the mail....it came in the natural realm as we and many dear people to us have been declaring and believing it was already done in the spiritual realm. As some of you may already know, we submitted our I600 in mid-May. We sent in our application around the same time as some of other adoptive families. There were approved and sent along....we all had different officers. We didn't get an immediate approval and were asked for more supporting evidence. Boy has these pass few weeks and this open application resulted in a time of a great FAITH and FULLY trusting God. This was truly a time of heart surgery for me...many days and night, all I could do was cry out to ABBA...."show me your face," "God you brought us to this so you will bring us through this," "Move this mountain for us oh God" and many more conversations with our Lord. Really thanking God for various people who came up beside me and watered me with the Word and Love of God.

So what does this I600 approval mean.....The US now sees our EJ a previous orphan (because he no longer is because we are his daddy and mommy) as an Immediate Relative.....simple terms....The US now sees him as our SON as he is seen in Ghana!! PRAISE THE LORD!! All Glory truly belongs to God....He did this...nobody but him!!

So what's next....we still need your prayers, encouragement and support!! In about another week or so our approval will reach Ghana and then we can begin the visa process. We are also awaiting his Ghanaian passport, please remember that in prayer also. So once our approval gets to Ghana, we can request our visa packet pickup which includes the medical paperwork to. Once the passport is in hand, then the medical items can be done and we can have our visa interview. The visa interview is the last step and right now is the BIGGEST hurdle.....but we have found out that our GOD is bigger!! If all goes well, we will be bringing our son home before the end of summer (I'm talking like before the kids have to go back to school)! We really feel this visa issues needs a lot of prayer and warfare!!! We are asking for your help in this area!!

Emmanuel just celebrated his birthday last Tuesday...well he probably didn't because they really do that the way we do here in America. However, it was a day of celebration for us and we celebrate his life and him being a part of our family! We are excited to celebrate it with him next year!!! Here is a video we made for him and the package we mailed off for him!!

Daddy had the pleasure to pick out his gifts for this year....

June.....

Can you do us a favor....Will you pray? Will you pray for our case along with others going through the adoption process every time the thought runs accross your mind? Please pray specifically this week as the Spirit gives utterance!!


June......the month I have been counting down for some well needed mommy and children time!!

• The girls and I have 2 more weeks left in school before summer break.
• Girls have their end of the year ballet recital.
• Signs and Wonders Camp for the 2 older girls....Destiny and I will cuddle
• Tyvon will be transfering to another office still in Quantico this month; we are very excited about this promotion. On the flipside he will not take any time off until we go back to Ghana.
• Today is June 3 and in 22 today's Emmanuel will turn another year older!! We know that God knows the desires of our heart.
• Believing God that we will get to spend most of our summer vacation bonding with our precious new son and brother!

On a side note...we got to talk to EJ twice this weekend. We got a surprise called on Friday morning and then he was able to call us for our Sunday morning time. Believing God that we will have some awesome news for you all by the end of the week!!

Psalms 25:3 No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced, but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others.
