Oh Happy Day!

Big news for the Williams household....we have a court date!!! This morning at 5:30 we awoke to a text stating that on August 23 at 2:20 pm, our first court  hearing will take place. This is such joyful news!! We entered the courts last Friday and were expecting our first court hearing to take place somewhere in mid September. It seems the courts may be moving a little faster than anticipated and it is with high hopes, that our other hearings will move swiftly as well!

In the very beginning of our journey, our dear friend Jeff (whom we are forever grateful for!) introduced us to a couple that lives in Nashville that had received their referral for a daughter around the same time we received ours. Since the moment Stephanie and I were introduced, we have developed a life-long friendship! We talk weekly and it is so good to have her with me in this journey. Although we have never "physically" met, we have held eachother's hands throughout this emotional and joyous journey and it is so nice to have someone to talk to that is going through the exact same thing at the exact same time. She and her husband, Justin, received their court date this week as well and it is scheduled for August 18th! We are so very excited for them! David & I look forward to meeting them very soon and we look forward to the future when Jack Everett and Amber Joy can meet for play dates. We consider them girlfriend/boyfriend already...hehe!

During this journey, God has opened our hearts and our lives to so many new people! Bringing Jack Everett into our lives has hands down been the best thing that has ever happened to us and we cannot wait to see what else our awesome, loving Father has in store for us! Thank you all for continuing to follow us and for your prayers! Please be in prayer for us and for the Miller's, that our court dates will move swiftly and that the judges will have what they need to make our first ruling. Please pray for safe travels for each of our birthmothers, as they do not live close to Taitung and will have to travel for court. Pray for those taking care of our sweet children and the ministry they provide in Taiwan. Pray for their mission work to lead others to Christ and His love.

Blessings to you all!
