Days of Anticipation

Well, we are still waiting to hear from our agency as to the arrival of baby Carson. I guess the Lord wants to teach us a lesson in patience and remind us that His timing is perfect. In keeping with the Scripture and its record of the season, we keep looking for the great light in the east - i.e. the lights on the plane from Korea. I guess we are looking the wrong way because the plane will be coming from the west. Anyway, we had our Christmas musical over the weekend and everything went well. We had a great attendance at church and several people got saved. Beka's dad and mom arrived safely from Tennessee on Tuesday and we are happy to have them with us. Mamaw, as the boys call her, is celebrating her birthday today and enjoying every minute. As always, we will keep you posted of the latest breaking news of Carson.

Every Day Is One Day Closer

Well, we heard that Carson was given his visa last week. According to what we know about the process now is that we simply wait for a phone call to say when he will travel. He will travel from Korea with an escort. We had thought that there may be a problem getting an escort during the holiday season. The truth of the matter is that there is long waiting list of those who "want" to escort children any time and any place. It is our understanding that he will travel to Los Angeles and we will there be accompanied by a volunteer greeter from the adoption agency who will show us where to go and what to do.

We met with our representative recently and she said that there is a very slim chance that he may come in to San Francisco. If that is the case, Beka and I would probably fly there instead of trying to make the 8 hour drive during the holidays. Regardless, we are looking forward to his arrival and are planning to capture the moment with a videographer and photographer nearby. We have people in our church who have expressed an interest in assisting us in this way, and I think it will be a true keepsake. We will use this platform to share pictures and video with everyone as it is now very easy and accessible by many. That is all the news for today.
