Thorburn Family

We got a call from Nevada today.  Everything is delayed, it would take way too much time to write it all out.. but the bottom line is that now we are waiting for a March court date.   On that date, we have every reason to expect that that will be “IT,” for REAL   Then our plane tickets will be purchased and we will be able to travel two weeks later.   One blessing that has come out of this is that Benjamin’s wonderful Social Worker was able to explain much more about the background of this case, his current home situation, etc.. and gave us a much fuller picture.  We are so very thankful for this!!!  So, now we wait again, for a new March court date.   God’s timing is perfect and we’re thankful to be on His calendar :).  Ps. 34:1  ”I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise will continually be in my mouth.”  

I am on pins and needles today, trying to be focused.  For all this time, I have felt a calm and quiet heart which can only be a huge grace from God.  Now, while I am not exactly anxious per say, I feel like I am holding my breath while standing on my head, till we hear the outcome of an important hearing in Nevada, which will be at 4:30 PM our time on Friday.  I explained about this in a previous post so I won’t go into it all here.  If you are reading this, please say a prayer for Benjamin’s speedy arrival to our home.  We are ICPC approved by both states, and should have had him long ago in one sense, but we know that God is sovereign over all.  The judge’s decision will determine whether that arrival is delayed further, or imminent.  We hope and pray that buying plane tickets is our next move.  We are also looking for arrangements for our children while we are away, and trying to get things in order for our Nevada trip, while recovering from the flu and continuing home schooling  We really have so much for which to be thankful!             Blessings abound, Anna
