Metcha Day

Tomorrow is Metcha day. It marks the 6th anniversary of the day that Annabella and I met, the day she came home with me, first as a precious little patient and later as my beloved daughter. What a wonderful and unexpected gift God gave me in her!
Tomorrow is also, hopefully, the day that we meet with the president du tribunal (presiding judge) that will rule in Annabella's adoption case.
 
 Please pray for us.
Pray for peace in my heart.
Pray that we would rely on God in the midst of stressful circumstances.
Pray for wisdom and a spirit of justice for the judge.
Pray for safe travel to the courthouse which is about 90 minutes away on dangerous roads.
Pray against corruption in Cameroon courts.
Pray that this process, which has taken nearly 6 years already, will proceed quickly from this point forward.
Pray that God would finally cause us to be a family in the eyes of the law.
