On Friday our dossier (paperwork) went to China! Yay! It was a little anti-climatic though as we had waited 3 weeks to hear that. But still very happy. Pray now that nothing gets lost or anything. What a nightmare that would be, though I'm sure it has happened to others.
So what next? The nest thing is our log-in date, when China logs in our paperwork. That could take about 3 weeks, hopefully not longer than that. Then once we are logged-in our agency will match us with a little boy 0-18 mos., with some minor medical need that we have indicated. We have 24 hours to initially accept him, so that will be a crazy 24 hours. Then we have up to two weeks to formally accept him. Then more paperwork goes back and forth, so it will take a few more months until we can go get him. I'm still hoping and praying it will be before Christmas, but may more likely be after.
Our BIG yard sale is coming up Sep. 4th. So many have donated, thank you! I have a lot to go through and organize. We are also beginning to plan a dinner and silent auction for possibly the first weekend in Nov.
Please continue to pray for God's provision and His perfect timing.
I am not always very patient and I like getting things done. Yesterday I heard the Lincoln Brewster song from Is. 40 and it really spoke to me about waiting on God through this process. Is. 40:27-31, read it!
