The Challenges Begin . . .

Yesterday was a rough day. We applied for a line of credit through Bank of America and were turned down. We have had a rough history with BOA in the past and they weren't willing to work with us right now. I was kind of counting on this as it would have provided a bulk of the funding that we need and it was a line of credit, so we could take as we need.

With the dissapointment in mind, I know that God is still working on getting this done for us. After I spoke with the bank, I got in touch with our Credit Union. I was able to take a Deed of Trust loan with them. This is less money and a conventional loan, but it is about half of the money we need. Again, Deb and I are confident that God is moving here and will provide the balance of what we need to bring our girl home.

So . . . we have our first official meeting with Bethany Christian Services set up for Monday, May 7. This will be the official start! We are very excited about what this means. The ball should be rolling pretty quickly on our end after the 7th. We will be starting the home study, finger prints, financial records, etc. This will be a busy time.

Prayer Request: Please pray that God will continue to guide us to the right country/program, that He will provide the money necessary to complete the process, and that He will give our family patience and wisdom throughout the process.
