It's time to go to China!

God is so good!
We have been praying and hoping that we would be able to go to China and have Joylee home before the end of the year, preferably before Christmas.  For that to happen we knew that we had to receive our "Travel Approval" before Thanksgiving.
Well, last Wednesday afternoon, the evening before Thanksgiving, we got the call!  Our "Travel Approval" had come through.  Isn't it great how God chooses to act - it's all for His glory!
Today we received our travel dates, are you ready for this?  We have to be in Beijing, China by NEXT FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9!  WOW!  We should be in China through the 23rd and hope to be home by Christmas Eve or Christmas Day at the latest.
Thank you for your continued encouragement and prayers - they mean so much to us.
I would ask that if you haven't given yet to the Puzzle fundraiser or purchased some of Joylee's Jova coffee fundraiser that you prayerfully consider that at this time.   As we prepare to take this trip we are facing some of our most expensive parts of the adoption process.  Please know, however, that we believe and have seen that God will provide and we are trusting Him to do so for His glory. 
If you feel led to give that's wonderful, but please know that the greatest need we have now and during our trip is your prayers.
Specific prayer requests include:  Getting organized and packed for the trip, all the funds necessary for the trip, safety with all the flights and ground transportation, Joylee's safety, well-being and adjustment to us as her new family, good health for all of us as we travel to and from China and within China and a good adjustment down time once we return home
Once we receive our final iteneary, I will post it here so you can pray specifically as we travel.
Thank you again for your support of our family during this journey to bring Joylee home.
