It's funny how the most mundane tasks, like copying papers for the medical visa, can be exciting. And yet here I am jumping out of my skin about a visit to the copy machine. The Lord tells us to live our lives in anticipation, expecting him to show up and do what is impossible for us to do on our own. This entire journey has been God showing up. From the doctors who agreed to treat Judson free of charge for the visa to the paperwork that passed through the Haitian consulate in three hours--God has shown up. It is amazing to see His work in action.
Thank you Lord Jesus for the way you show up. Thank you that we can rely on you because while we are weak, you are strong...our rock and our deliverer.
It seems sureal that in three days I'll be holding Judson. Please keep us in prayer. We will ALL be home by Aug. 8 if not sooner.
Love Always,
Laurie

Leaving July 16th for Haiti
I cannot believe I leave this week for Haiti, and on July 16th (my birthday). What an awesome gift, to hold my son in my arms again and bring him home!!
Here is the scoop: We have Judson’s passport, which is a BIG DEAL; however, we are still finalizing details for the medical visa, and it has not yet been approved. That said, we have met all the requirements, and it should not take long to get it approved once we submit our application and documentation. The director of the orphanage said that he cannot see any reason why Judson should not be able to return home with us.
God is in control in this situation and in all situations when I stop trying to do everything myself and trust in Him. He makes a way where there seems to be no way. He works everything for the good of those who serve him and keep his commands. I have no doubt that the paperwork will be approved in a timely manner and Judson will be coming home with us.
My friends, I do ask you to cover us in prayer. Judson has been quite ill but is doing better now. However, he needs to get to the States. Please pray for his health and for the business that must be completed with the Embassy in Haiti. Ask for the Lord’s will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
“Sovereign LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.”- Jeremiah 32:17
Thank you for your prayers and continued support.
