We Got It!!!!

Guess what was in the mailbox this morning. :-)

We got the report we needed!! Praising God for His amazing faithfulness in overcoming odds that only HE could overcome!

We do still need prayer that the I800A will be approved after we get all of our documents submitted. We are waiting for our social worker to finish making the changes they wanted to the home study (mostly adding in specific wording that they want there) and then we will send the entire packet of documents back for the final review. I am praying that we will get the home study back today or tomorrow so that we can get everything in the mail by the end of the week. Pray that our social worker will have nothing else to do today! ;-)

SOOOOO excited to have experienced God moving that mountain so we can get our son home. We're coming A.J.!

Wait

We have reached the point where there is nothing more to DO. No more phone calls to make, no more e-mails to send, no more agencies to argue with.

We can just WAIT.

I am not good at waiting.

Yesterday God put a song in my mind that I could not forget. The lyrics are “Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord”. I searched and searched for that song on iTunes and finally called Eric and (very poorly) sang part of it to him and he immediately started singing the rest of the song so I could figure out the title (It is Everlasting God by Lincoln Brewster). I have been playing that song all day.

I am not good at waiting.

Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. – Psalm 37:7

I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope. Psalm 130:5

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31

“In His word I put my hope”. God makes us many promises in His word, and gives us many reasons to trust Him. I know that his plan is not to harm me (Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:28), and that he is sovereign (Romans 11:33, Isaiah 45:6-7). I know that He is with me (Isaiah 43:1-2), so that I can be strong in any circumstance. I know that He is faithful and hears me when I cry out to Him (Phillipians 4:6-7, Psalm 116), so I can have peace.

So we will WAIT upon the Lord.

I have no idea what His sovereign plan is. I do not know how, when, or if he will move this mountain. But I do know that I can trust Him.

So we will WAIT upon the Lord.

Keep praying!!
