We don't have a court date yet, but a new week always brings new hope. The Lord's mercies are new every morning. We try to remember that every day. It's always true no matter what we are feeling or experiencing. In Christ, we live each day in the forgiveness that Jesus won for us on the cross and gives to us freely through faith in Him We live in the blessed hope of eternal life. That hope is our anchor, and without it we wouldn't have made it this far. With that sure and certain hope, we are able to move beyond all of our disappointments, especially the days that pass by without any news on the adoption front. We begin this week with hope in Christ and with confidence that God hears our prayers and will answer according to His good and gracious will.
Thank you for all of your prayers in our behalf! The Lord hears and will answer in His time. Please also keep a couple of other adoptive families in your prayers this week: Bill & Myra who are heading home soon from Moscow with their son as well as Eric & Becky who are in Vlad for their first trip to meet their THREE children. In fact, Eric & Becky will be heading to the MOE in Vlad in just a few hours from now. We're thrilled for them. The Lord is good indeed. Blessed be the name of the Lord! We're confident you'll hear from us soon with news of a court date!
Love,
Clarion & Joel

Joel and Clarion,
What a wonderful statement of faith and of intercession.
At church today we studied from Ruth, chapter 3. Point of the sermon was what faith Ruth must of had to concur her fear and go to Obed to claim him for marriage as he was a near kinsman. Can you imagine being a poor woman from another culture going to a much older wealthy man and asking him for marriage. Her faith allowed her to become the great grandmother of King David and to become a special woman in the lineage of our Lord Jesus.
Your faith with allow you, from another culture, to become parents of two special little boys very soon. We are also waiting for our court date in Vlad. We last saw our daughter April 4th. Please pray for us and we will continue to pray for you.
God Bless,
Debbie and David Metzger
