VICTORY!
I took Joshua to court yesterday for the final placement court. The Judge ruled that Holdyn could return HOME with his daddy! Praise the Lord for this victory. Joshua could not stop smiling. Even today when he stopped by my office to show him off to me after picking up his son out of foster care he would not even look up at the camera. His eyes and life surround this little guy. It is so precious Holdyn's mother will of course still have visitation and how the final parenting plan will work is yet to be determined but Joshua was name primary care giver and Holdyn is now released by court order out of the foster care system and HOME. I just had to share this victory with all of you about my little Holdyn! We are so thrilled. Praise the Lord!

Outsourced!!!!
Dear Friends and Family,
We’re moving to Chennai, India! Yup you read that right! Chennai, INDIA!
We just received word that Logos Bible Software will be sending us to India where Miles will be supervising Amnet, the company Logos outsources much of its text processing to. Logos has had a presence in Chennai for almost 2 years now (Miles will be the 3rd person living over there). We had known this was a good possibility for about a month. We will be leaving in July (exact date yet to be determined), and will be there for anywhere from 6 months to a year. We’re pretty excited about this adventure. We will be having a huge sale to sell off a bunch of our stuff and putting the rest into storage while we are gone. I will be leaving my job in May or June depending on when we are leaving so that I can be sure to have time to pack everything up and gather the things we will need for our time over in India. We, meaning mostly myself, will need your communication and support for I will not be working and will want to keep in touch with those of you I am leaving. We will be moving into a house/apartment fully furnished and given a chef, a chauffeur, and a cleaning person. It sounds pretty amazing. We will have a new laptop with internet including Skype and a webcam as well. We will keep our blog updated making sure you are all a part of our big adventure. My dream will be to get involved with World Vision which is based out of Chennai, India. The little boy we sponsor (Lalit) is from there. I am excited to potentially meet him and get involved with other children in the slums over there and volunteer time with this organization.
This is an honor for Miles to be asked to go and represent Logos with Amnet. They are moving him to a salaried position which is good for us financially as we can just save money since we will have very little expences to worry about.
So many things have happened this past year that was of course planned ahead in preparing us for this trip. We are so nervous and excited in anticipation to see what God has in store for us in India. This opportunity is a dream come true and we are so thankful.
Love in Him,
