In our corner of the world, the clock has turned us into the wee hours of Wednesday morning and today (February 13) just happens to be my 32nd birthday. I am hoping against hope that my birthday present today might be the good news from Haiti that we have been waiting for! But then I have to remind myself that God's ways and timing are perfect, birthdays or no birthdays ...
We have been making slow progress (but progress nonetheless) on the adoption process. Today tickets were purchased for the social worker to fly from Germany to Chile, arriving in Santiago on March 1. We are down from three to two American families who will be having homestudies done, thus causing an increase in the homestudy fee from $1500 to $2000. My heart wants to be anxious over the finances and I am continually shushing it to try and focus instead on God, who owns "the cattle on a thousand hills!"
This week, it is my goal to push very hard to get dossier and homestudy paperwork in order. Owen is sick, we have two family birthdays and miscellaneous meetings this week, and the beginning of school is only two weeks away! It makes it hard to concentrate, so your prayers for focus and energy and determination are GREATLY appreciated. I mean that sincerely.
I will share any news if/when it comes along!
