God Is SO Good

Wow.  What a day!  Just heard from our agency and low and behold they got word today that our court case was shown yesterday and WE PASSED!!! Our little guy is officially a Kelley.  I am just so blown away and just in total awe of our God.  So overwhelming.  The other amazing news, is that we might get to travel even earlier than our first travel dates.  We will get word about this next week.  One of my friends, Tracy, came by our house today, gave me a big hug and said “Congrats, Momma of 3!”  That will stick with me forever.  I really cannot explain what this child means to us.

So our agency advised still not to post pictures of him on my blog, so I will gladly abide, but I am tired of calling him baby boy, little guy, etc.  So what’s his name going to be?  Solomon “Sol” James Altaseb Kelley.  Josh and I like for all of our kids name’s to have an importance so Sol’s name was to be no different.  Solomon is actually an Ethiopian name meaning “wanted” “longed for” and “peaceful”.  We also choose a verse for each of our children.  Sol’s was so perfect…it was God’s response to Solomon when he asked for a discerning heart:

1 Kings 3:12 “I will do what you have asked.  I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be.”

How perfect for our sweet little Sol.  As for James, we use family names for all our kids middle names and James is a family name on both sides of Josh’s family.  So there “he” is our little boy Sol Kelley.  I just cannot thank everyone enough for all the prayers and this has got to be one of the best blog posts I’ve had the priveledge of posting.  Thanks everyone and Ethiopia here we come!
