I want you all to know that your prayers have been felt today in a BIG way! Thank you. I promise I won’t cry to you all every day. It has just been a little rough for a couple of days…so, sorry for being so down before, but thank you all for your continued prayers for our family!
I have been getting notifications from the Embassy for the past 24 hours of a Terrorist threat in the area because of the big ‘Futbol’ game that occurs tomorrow. They say they aren’t sure if it will be in the game stadium itself or in a crowded area where the game will be viewed, but They have warned all foreigners and mission organizations to stay away from crowded areas. Hmmm…I think we’ll stay around the Guest House tomorrow:)
In other news…
After the little one’s nap I brought them downstairs to play and Shabila motioned toward Josh and then pretty much jumped in his arms from mine for him to hold her! We both just looked at each other in shock! She has been cuddling with him for the majority of the evening. We have all loved it!
We also took a walk down the street to get some dinner and Shabila initiated getting into the stroller all by herself, where as before she was terrified of it!
We have been with her a week…oh the hurdles we’ve jumped!

What a wonderful update! It makes me smile to think of the amazing family Shabila is being adopted into, a gift that will blow her away as she understands it in years to come. Don’t ever apologize when updates aren’t all sunshine and roses. Your honesty allows us to better pray for you! Thanks for sharing this amazing season in your lives with us all in the blogosphere. You all are loved!

Great progress on Shabila!!
I saw an article this morning about the terrorist threat and have been lifting you all up in prayer! I am so thankful that the Lord sent you back to Jinja and is holding off a week until your next week appointment. We may not see his plans at the time but his protection over you all is awesome!!

I am so Happy and excited for you all! That is such a Blessing!! God is good and he has plans for us all! You don’t ever need to apologize for your emotions! #1 you are pregnant that can not help at all in the situation you are in. You are in another country in a holding pattern to wait for them on their time to bring home your baby girl! You are entitled to all these crazy emotions! There seem to be so many more good than bad! š I will be praying that you all will be safe tomorrow and on the rest of your journey and that you will get another court date soon and before you know it you will be home with your baby girl!

Dear Tasha & Josh,
I just wanted you to know that I am following your journey here each day, & lifting you all up in prayer.
Be assured, God Is In Control & He will always do what is best for you. Sometimes we get to see what that is & sometimes we don’t…but all a part of the faith walk.
I will continue to ask God’s blessings & protection on all of you. Love Always, Aunt Loretta

Thanks for sharing the good things and the difficult things. That’s why we have each other and besides, it allows us to pray for you all more specifically. Stay put tomorrow and we will be praying for all of Uganda. Great news about Josh and Shabila. ALL of you will be so bonded by the time you arrive back home. PTL
