As He continues to look down at me and snicker....all the "little" things that have come up, are just that...little. He has graciously taken care of everything again.
Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10

God's sense of humor
Not so funny, sometimes..........
I've trying to send off this blasted dossier for a week or so and every time I think I'm ready to mail it off, something happens...vomit, mistakes in emails, someone not answering their phones (health insurance people), being on the phone for hours waiting for a live person (IRS)......today, it is extra paperwork.
Breathe.
I think I have all that I need, just need B to sign the papers and have them notarized (again), make copies, drop off my passport information, not cry and remember that this too shall pass.
Maybe I'll laugh, someday about this, just not today or tomorrow.

Trying Hard
I just figured out how to do different colors LOL....I'm a little slow on the uptake today!
I got word that there would be some additional paperwork that needs to be notarized (blech) and sent with my dossier. It isn't atrocious paperwork, like I've been doing, but still, I'm ready for this thing to be out of my hands, into the hands of my agency and sent to Ethiopia BEFORE MAY 7th! Luckily (not luck, but Godly), I was able to put my hands right on the paperwork that I need and my sister is sending me the stuff that I don't have so I can print it off and do all this rigor tomorrow (bank, notary, church, post office). It's all okay because as I'm sweating in inappropriate places LOL, thumbing through more documents, double checking everything....this song In His Time was playing through my mind. I sang that song, in my hometown church when I was a child and here it is 20 years later, popping back up. How blessed am I to be a child of God and to know that all of these "delays" are part of His plan.
He loves me, He loves my son, but for some reason or the other, He has been putting up roadblocks in sending off my dossier. That is okay (remember to breathe)....He has His reasons and they are for good and not to harm. Praise be to Him
Remember when you are trying to do something and wanting to do it now now now, it is ALL in His time. Off to blow my nose and wipe my sweat.........again. Love spring :)

In His Time
In His Time
Ecclesiastes 3:11
"He hath made every thing beautiful in his time:"
In His time, in His time,
He makes all thing beautiful in His time.
Lord, my life to You I bring,
May each song I have to sing,
Be to You a lovely thing, in Your time.
In Your time, in Your time,
You make all thing beautiful in Your time.
Lord, my life to You I bring,
May each song I have to sing,
Be to You a lovely thing, in Your time.

Hallelujah and Praise the Lord
Tater Day is OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm burnt, tired and my house smells of stinky feet and sweat BLECH.
We did far better than I had anticipated. I also got word that our M&M fundraiser is making quite the dollar :) :)
We also had our first donation from a wonderful, Godly woman AND we got our dates to be fingerprinted. While we are there, to kill 2 birds with one stone...B and I will be getting our shots.
God is moving moving moving and it is so awesome to see His mighty hands all over this!

Thank you all
For the prayers and words of encouragement. I've gotten random emails, phone calls and face to face visits from some beautiful people.
Please know, that in all things, it isn't B or me that is doing this, we are simply being obedient to the call that God has made for us. We are doing the legwork (and paperwork) and He is orchestrating this beautiful gift.
We are blessed with the 7 children that we have raised. We love each and every one of them and we are beyond thrilled that God is preparing our son for his forever home. I'm blessed. God is good. He is in control, even when I'm searching for paperwork or feeling frazzled (today is one of those days). His hands are all over this and I'm thrilled to be able to share our story and through God, have them answer his call to take care of the orphans of the world.
There are 147 million orphans and soon, that number will be reduced by 1! Praise Him!
