Dates that Only God Could Orchestrate

At the end of November last year, my son proposed to his childhood sweetheart. They set a date of June the 4th. At that time I spoke with my coordinator about time lines concerning the acceptance of a referral. She told us about a little boy that needed a family. He was older than what we expected. After counting out date possiblilities, we realized that it would be better to accept a referral sooner rather than later. You can read more here Here is a look at how the dates of the past year have played out.

August 20, 2009- We sign on with IAN as our agency
August 20, 2009- Noah arrives at Sele Enat(the orphanage our agency works with)
December 4, 2009- We were given info about Noah
December 9, 2009-We accepted Noah's referral
April 4, 2010- We met Noah for the first time
April 9, 2010- We arrived in the US with our son
June 4, 2010- Seth and Mallory were wed
June 9, 2010- We arrived back home after a wedding in Florida

As I look over all of this, I am amazed at God's kindness to me in particular. God knows that I can get very overwhelmed in details. He has continually reminded me through this adoption that He knows my frame. I am so grateful for how He carried our family through these past 6 months. Our boy has been home for two months now and none of us can remember life before him. He is such a joy! So here are some pictures of the wedding and Noah enjoying Florida!!
