Lovin' Much!: New January Number!!!

I just got this in an email...

our new January number!!! We are now officially on the AGCI girl waitlist at #62!!!

I just LOVE #62!!! Of course, we were hoping to be in the 50's this month, but there has been a little bit of a slow-down in referrals over the holidays (which we kind of expected).

But this is why I was SO EXCITED to find out that we are #62, because on our countdown wall at home, we are at...

#64! So that means, we have really moved down 2 more spots that we didn't even know about!! YAY!! That is always a very welcome surprise!!

I can't wait until the kids get home from school, so I can tell them about our new January number!! And I always let them take turns taking down numbers on the countdown wall, so I'll let them take down #64 and #63 to get us to...

#62!!! Every month we are getting closer and closer to Caroline Faith, and I just love it!!

"Trust in Him at all times, O people, pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge." Psalm 62:8

There should be a LOT of movement later this month and next month....Hold tight. 8 kids came home in the past couple of weeks 2 more next week, and we're hoping for 7 more the following week...pray for "clearance" from the embassy for the 7 families waiting to pick up kiddos....; January 6, 2011 at 2:34 PM
