June Referrals
June Referrals came out today (June 8, 2010) They have now reached April 26th (Mark's Birthday!) That is only a 5 day advancement, but that is OK, because God is in control, and as our website address points out, God does indeed know the time.
In the meantime, Mark and I have had a very busy few weeks. We sang a new Oratorio this past weekend. It was amazing! There were over 50 people in the chorus, and I got to sing a Solo (the other soloists were Professional Opera singers from New York City! The Oratorio (for you non music types, an Oratorio is scripture put to music--the most famous one being The Messiah by Handel) is based on the book of Romans. We sang songs like Men love darkness rather than light, I am Persuaded, and There is No One Righteous (a few of my favorites) The soloists sang songs like The Under Conviction Blues and Enemy. My solo was called A Lovely Day and it was anything but lovely! It is a song about how sin at first looks really great, but in the end we are left wondering, "Who will rescue me? How will I be saved? Of course, those of us who have Jesus as our Savior and Lord know that He is the answer. My solo was followed by the Chorus singing Thank God. Anyway--that is a lot of rambling about what we have been up to! We performed it at our church and also at Trinity OPC in Hatboro, PA.
This week also marks the end of another school year! It was a very good year, but I am looking forward to summer. We have some summer projects planned--so that should keep us out of trouble!
When you think of it, please keep us in your prayers. Even though we are keeping very busy, the wait is very hard--we sometimes wonder if this adoption will ever happen, and yet we know that God is in control, and that we need to wait patiently on him.
