Meeting date set!

Ok...here are the details for our very big day this week! Sorry for leaving you hanging on that last post!!

We FINALLY have a date set for our meeting with the birthparents....this Wednesday at 10:30AM in San Diego. Sounds like its going to be a super casual meeting and hopefully we will know by the end of that day whether we will be matched with them or not.

In other news, Mike will be leaving for Houston next week for work. We have known about him leaving for a while now but thought it would be either today or tomorrow. We got the phone call from the social worker about an hour after he booked his flight for this coming Tuesday morning. After scheduling the meeting for Wednesday, he got approval to leave this coming Sunday. So he will be leaving after church on May 9th...that means I get a few more days with him!

God definitely was at work because just the night before this call, we decided to just let go of our stress and not worry about it all. We were trying to control the situation (which we really couldn't) so we just left it at Jesus' feet...and it felt nice to release it to Him. It's just so amazing to see how God had planned for us to move forward with Mike's trip to Houston and trust Him, then almost right after get a call about our meeting.

Ways to be praying: that we can be ourselves and let God speak through us as we answer their questions; for their hearts as they prepare to meet the people who may raise their child; and really pray that we can be an example of Christ...not only as individuals but also through our marriage. Mike and I are praising God for all He has done in us in the last couple years and give Him ALL the glory in everything! And just be praying for the time that we are apart in general (safety, no loneliness, etc).

Can't wait to give an update Wednesday after things are hopefully finalized!
