December 5, 2011 - THOGL Cleared, Cleaning House, and Gifts from Staci and Bob


Yay!!! Today was such a blessed day :) So we heard this evening through good ol’ facebook that Bev Skiles posted something regarding the new law in Taiwan.  She basically said that the government came and inspected THOGL and told them they could continue on as normal with all their adoptions for the time being.  Apparently the law has many parts to it and there is a timeline for each “part” and when those different parts will take affect.  Words cannot even describe how relieved we are to hear this tonight!  Of course we sent a message to Andrea (Miss know it all --- in a good way!)  And she answered some of my questions and confirmed that they are continuing with the adoptions!!!  We are hoping we will get a call or email soon to let us know when we are on the waiting list!  For right now we are just taking it 1 day at a time and doing what we can here to get ready for the next wave of paperwork.  We have been “cleaning out” each room in our house so we can take pictures and have those ready for when they need them. 
Another blessing today was that Staci gave us payment for a PNO we are going to work this Friday night.  It was so humbling to receive that gift of money to put towards our adoption and it was way more than I expected!  Another blessing of the day came from Bob Alltop at Beacon Signs in Avon.  We had put in a vinyl decal to be made as a Christmas present this year and Bob emailed me and said he wasn’t charging me for it?  We were confused and emailed him back and offered to at least pay for the materials!  He politely said no to my offer and hoped we’d have a Merry Christmas.  Even though the total was $22 – that was so nice of him to give that back to us.  We have no doubt the Lord was part of that and whatever or whoever spoke to Bob’s heart that day touched our lives and hearts in a deep way.  So in all, today was the hope we needed to keep moving forward.
