havent been posting cause theres been nothing to report about the adoptions. we are holding right now wating for our agency to get its license figured out in ethiopia, it was revoked earlier and it has taken them a while to get things straightened out, so we wait and wonder if and when all this will happen. it looks like may or june right now

saturday we got a cache of food from our bank friends it was about twnety boxes filled with various stuff, i was amazed at some of the stuff they can. the kids had fun sorting through it all and trying different stuff. they also gave us about $500. it has been so cool to see all this. these people who are on the fringe of our lives only hearing about our adoptions when we ask one of the tellers to notarize paperwork for adoptions. they just wnated to help and it si so cool to watch it. people seem to be asking us why and how and etc more often. we are still struggling with wating for all the mess in ethiopia to get worked out our contact at our agency is in south afirca for a few weeks and the women who worlk with them in ethiopia is in the us for awhile, i think i already wrote this but what the heck. anyway we are gettign a little anxious and want to bring our daughters home, lots of friends and no obviously others praying for us.

last night i worked with my oldest son, he's 17, on his postmodern worship project, he is wrting a paper for a rhetoric class and its was such a gift to get a glimpse into his mind and heart. he has a great passion for God and people. he also has a huge struggle with getting his ideas out of his head and unto paper, so i sit with him and encourage and type what he dictates to me. we are planning on attending search party 02 in may and i am grateful that we both get pumped about postmodern stuff, so much for the myth that is about a generational thing.
as far as the adoption stuff we are waiting for our agency to figure out their end of things and it looks like july we will have our daughters here. our bank is still collecting food and money for us, it is so cool that they did this all on their own. i have learned a good lesson about being proactive about community and helping, why does it seem the church needs to be asked to help, shouldnt we be the ones modeling what the people at our bank and in our community are doing? just another struggle in my continuing saga with the church, oh well.
