The Starfish

One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?” The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.” “Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make a difference!” After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said ” I made a difference for that one.”
Proverbs 24:12 "Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know and holds us responsible to act."

Adoption approved in Taiwan!!!

We received word last night that our case was heard in Taiwan and our adoption has been approved!!!  Joy is now officially Joy Hsin Yi Dwyer! 
It is so surreal to announce your new child, a child that you have never met.  God placed her in our heart over a year ago, and now Taiwan is placing her in our home.  Wow!
We have not received our travel approval yet, but are told it may be as soon as March! Yikes!!!  We are still working on paying the remaining agency fee and now have to pay for travel!  ( stay tuned for an awesome raffle we are working on :) 
Oh my, we still have to paint the girls' room! lol
Praise God!  and praying for provision.
