Our Friends

Well, I know that I said this blog is to keep everyone updated about our little family. But, I have become a blogger junkie. Every morning when I get to work I go on-line and check my friends blogs. I have met so many new "friends" by others blogs. I have to admit that my sweet friend Jena has some really nice friends. I have enjoyed reading her blog about their adoption process and life in general. I also have enjoyed reading her friends blogs. It makes me want to go to NC for a visit. Everyday I learn something and am so touched by their desire about adoption.

I think they have (or will) all adopted from Africa. It is so wonderful to see and hear the passion they have for Africa and all the kiddos. Who knows, maybe we will be making a trip to Africa or another country someday. I know if $$ was not a problem we would have more kiddos in the Vance family. Halli keeps asking for a 4yr old sister. She tells us we can just adopt one. I think there are two reasons for her specific request. One, she doesn't really care for babies. She is a very jealous little girl. Two, she really wants a playmate. Oh, maybe a third, everyone else she knows has a sister or brother. So, we are continuing to pray about our adoption process. We don't know where God will lead us, but I'm secretly wanting to know right now and for it to be very clear!!!!!!

Back to the reason why I started this post. I just read this morning that our friends Keith and Jena will be in Africa in three weeks! They were supposed to be there the beginning of July, but that didn't happen. We all have been waiting. I can only imagine their wait. Yesterday Jena asked that we stop what we were doing and say a prayer right now for a court date. I did. Thank goodness the phone waited to ring till after I was done praying. God listened to our prayers. They have their court date for August 18th. Thank you God! We are so excited for them and their family. We can't wait to see pictures of their new kiddos. Hopefully someday we will get a visit.

Well, this post has ended up being longer than I planned. I guess I had a lot to say. Thank you God for my sweet friends and for the internet so we can stay connected so easy!
