Getting closer everyday!

We received an email from C. with our agency yesterday stating that the governor of Kemerovo had authorized a request to have Darya taken off the federal data bank. After talking with C. at our agency today she agreed that this likely means that the governor will also authorize the facilitator to arrange a court date. Isn't God good? For the first few weeks after we got back from Russia, I didn't have any particular feeling about when we would go back for court. I just hoped it was sooner than later. I feel in my heart that it won't be long. The desire of my heart is that we will go before October 15. I know that anything is possilble with Him. I will tell the Lord the desires of my heart and believe that He is the giver of every good and perfect gift. Most importantly, I pray for His will. So... the news we received is very exciting!!!!! Hopefully, any day now... I'll have more good news to share. As always.. thank you for your continued prayers. I am praying specifically for the request to be processed and that the letter of release gets safely back to Kemerovo as quickly as possible. I also pray that the heart of the governor will be softened and that a court date will be set swiftly. I will also be praying that God's hand of protection be over our baby girl during this time and that we will be able to prepare the way for her homecoming.
