Colombia Approved

We received official word that Colombia has translated our paperwork, reviewed it, and APPROVED it! We are on the official waitlist for the newest Bixler to join these three cuties.

Some people have asked “How we are feeling?” so I thought I would share some thoughts… To be honest, most of the time it seems a pretty surreal because we have such little control.  What we can do is pray that we would draw nearer to Christ and that he would align our desires with his own. People often ask me if I am anxious and most of the time I am not (granted I am only officially a few weeks in ::) However, I know I do not have to be anxious because not only do I belong to the Lord, but the orphans of this world belong to him and God will finish this. Having my own children, I have learned quickly that they are not mine- I have very little control over their health and being- they are the Lord’s. He keeps them and the days I have with them are a gift. While the newest member of our family will take our name, feel our love, share in our traditions, and I pray share in our faith, he is not mine to claim or to rescue. The only one who can do that is Jesus and I pray for that daily. When I do, my impatience usually subsides 🙂 Thank you for praying alongside us!!
