Pursue

According to Google, pursue is defined as "follow (someone or something) to catch or attack them." 

We have decided to pursue the little boy whose file we have reviewed.  Now, so much comes along with that statement.  First of all, that doesn't mean anything until we are given to the go ahead to submit an LOI.  An LOI is a Letter of Intent which is sent to the Chinese Government to put the child "on hold" for our family.  Before we can submit the LOI, any other families that are viewing his file will have the opportunity to pursue him.  We are prayerful that God has His hand in all of this.  He will clearly reveal if this is the child for our family. 

It is a bit overwhelming to process this information.  This is a huge leap of faith!  As soon as an LOI is received, we have 6 months to submit our dossier.  That is not a lot of time.  We still have to start our home study which is required for our immigration paper work.  Although it may seem impossible, there is nothing too big for our God.  He is capable of anything!  We are thankful we can trust in Him.
