Update and a quick question

We got an email from our family coordinator and apparently had mis-added a number on our financial statement, which means we have to re-do and have it notarized AGAIN!  (This makes financial statement #3!)  ARGH!  Homestudy is finished and reviewed, so we are so very close to sending off the I-600.  Please pray for direction and clarity as we trudge forward.  All the changes in Ethiopia make each step a step of faith...not that they weren't before, but my goodness there are so many more unknowns at this point. 

Also...as I contemplate the yet-to-be-announced adventure that the Lord is placing us on (mentioned in my last post) I would love to ask you a question...

What is your #1 goal for your children? 

I look forward to your answers!  Have a blessed week!

    Our #1 goal for our precious girl is to glorify God and to be satisfied in Him.

    Do I have to have just one? :)

    Seriously, I have hopes for my children, but no goals. To have a goal for my child is for me to be trying to live their life or to be trying to control an outcome. I don't believe I have that kind of power.

    That said, I'm guessing what you really meant was what is my #1 goal in how I want to raise them. It sounds a little pious, but my number one goal is teach them about loving the Lord and praying that they will. At the end of our lives, nothing else matters.

    My #1 goal for my children is that they allow God to use them in whatever way He wants.

    My #1 goal for my children is for them to fully allow God to lead their lives! What could they do for the Kingdom!?

    That's a hard one! Long term, I want them to grow daily in their relationship with Christ. I want them to LIVE. I want them to experience love in all of its meanings. Short term, I want Heather to sleep through the night, Allison to take a greater interest in personal hygiene, and Michael to trust me when I say books are fun!

    My number one goal for my boys (3 and 4 years old, brought home from Ethiopia 11 weeks ago) is that they would come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
    In His Love,
    Amy, Gloria's friend!
