Referral!!!!

AHHHHH!!! We've been wanting to shout this from the mountain tops now for about 2 weeks...but God was telling us to be patient & thus after some finalization of paperwork, we are about to take the next step!

The day after...yep, you read that right...the day after we found out baby Miller was a boy, our agency from Texas called and introduced us to our 2nd daughter.  It was quite surreal...I couldn't actually believe it was happening!

Our little girl is about 20 months old, both of her parents are deceased and thus she really needs a Mommy & Daddy.  Her given name is Kukunda Patience and she is staying with a distant relative about 2 hours north of the capital city of Kampala.  We plan on calling her Keziah Patience [Job 42].  While we would LOVE to be on a plane tomorrow to go get her, it most likely will be a minimum of 6 months until we get our travel/court dates.  She is a happy child and while I cannot post a picture of her darling face...at least not yet...her eyes show the need for the love & acceptance & warmth that we as God's creation all long for...she needs a forever family.

Thank you, thank you for all your prayers, questions & conversations as we waited to meet Keziah.  Your prayers & financial support has been and continues to be tremendous and we are humbled by each of you.

Prayer requests for the upcoming months:
  • Paperwork & medical exam to get processed and for the investigators, probation officers & judges to rule in Keziah's best interest.
  • Our family dynamics and timing with baby boy on the way [due 4-1-14], Haven's adjustments & the details to fall into place.
  • Continued financial provisions through the next paperwork and travel phases.

2014 promises to hold quite a few changes for the Millers...thankfully we know who holds them.


I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
[Psalm 130:5]
