What a day today has been! Started out typically -- trying to wrangle the boys into this new school year schedule (which isn't going well so far!), checking e-mails for anything new on the auction, checking Facebook for anything new on Sasha, but then . . . pow! A message comes over Facebook that tells me we only have until the end of October to get our dossier to EE country. Apparently, they stop taking dossiers from Nov - Feb -- and if we wait until Feb, all of our paperwork will need to be re-done. I'm definitely the type to get things rolling, but I have to admit that I was overwhelmed for a few hours. Right now, I still don't know if our home study is even done! I also know that immigration can be a long wait.
But then . . . God. He stepped in and provided some really encouraging news from friends who have gone before me on this journey. Help from a sweet woman whom I've never even met. And the simple peace to walk this road with faith.
Some prayer requests for my praying friends:
1. Passport will come quickly
2. We will find favor with immigration and get it streamlined through (possible contacts)
3. God will heal some hurt feelings (sorry, can't give details on that)
4. Dossier papers will be done right -- the FIRST time!
5. That I can get auction plug-in working on our auction website
6. That Chick-Fil-A will let us host a Spirit Night for the two families!
Praises:
1. Do not need state seal on birth certificates!
2. "Duplicate passports" just means copies -- not LITERAL duplicate passports
3. Fund raising opportunity this Saturday at downtown market
4. Do not need visa to travel to country
5. Feature article will be written on 2 families for Hernando Times
6. Friends who will be double-checking all our forms!
