A Good Night's Sleep

This is a picture of the Kampala, Uganda sunset.  And I find GREAT peace in knowing that O will never see this sunset at the home where he was staying again.  He WILL however see it set from the babies home he is safely staying in until we are able to come get him and take him home!!!
That is the same babies home that Josh was standing in the day he called me and we decided to adopt from Uganda.  An amazing babies home that feeds the kids three meals a day, bathes them daily, prays with them daily.  Praise God!  There are even American and English people who are volunteering there - so he will know what an American person looks like.  Which is always a good thing - since his parents will look a little different than what he is used to!  It sounds a little odd...but I find myself thinking about the fact that O could be standing in the same, exact place - thousands and thousands of miles away - that his Daddy stood when God made it clear that we are going to start this journey.  God is just so crafty, isn't he?  He really pays close attention to detail!
After that LONG weekend, we really learned that, as usual, God is faithful.  He hears our prayers.  He is mighty to save!  To Him be all the glory!  And we also were reminded, again, that we have some amazing friend and family members.  O has been covered in prayer and peace rained down.  And we thank you so much!!!
He will not only get the food and care that he needs at the babies home, but he will also get medical attention. Please continue to pray for healing.  He is malnourished...and we can't wait to see him plump up!  Also, please pray for all his medical testing.  That God will lay his healing hand on O and that he will be healthy and stay healthy.
I am putting our immigration paperwork in the mail TODAY!  Then, we will wait for approval.  And, then, once the funds are raised, we can get a court date!
We hope to get an update on how he is doing in the next couple days.  For now, we will leave you with a quote from our lawyer:
"O IS A HAPPY BOY."
Hear that?  Happy Boy!!!  Can't wait to see that beautiful smile!!!

To our sweet O,
Handsome boy...you are looking stronger already.  You have no idea how much love you are in for!  I can't wait to hug you tight.  Your Daddy is beside himself.  And Gracie evens says she will share her toys!  We love you so much already.
Love,
Mom
