God is Good !


Last night I was getting ready for bed and I started to feel a little weary, not anxious or nervous just a little weary.  There is a lot of different things going on in Ukraine right now with a lot of uncertainties and unanswered questions.  If you sit and think about any of them for too long, you will take steps back in the process...thinking about all the what if's and things that can go wrong.  Thus far, I have had a peace about everything and have had a certainty that things are going to work out.  So last night, when I was having a few uneasy feelings, it worried me a little.  I prayed and asked God to continue to comfort me and take away my uneasiness before it developed into anything else.  I knew that he knew what I was feeling even better that what I was.  I got on the computer and looked up some different info on the USCIS office and if there would be any way I could track or find out the status of our approval letter that we are waiting for.  This is the step that has been problem some for the families before us and was wondering if it was going to be for us as well.  I was able to find an email address for the adoption office within the immigration office and sent them an email asking for some help on tracking the status of our application.  I had sent an email about a week ago, and no response had come yet.  So I thought I would try it again.  That was late last night and first thing this morning, I had an email back saying that we had been approved last Friday and should be receiving our letter within 2 weeks.  This was just the step I needed to take away the weariness that I had been feeling.  It never ceases to amaze me how quickly God can intervene and answer your prayers.  So now we wait for our letter and then we send it to Ukraine to be translated and submitted to the SDA with our other paperwork and we wait for our appointment.  It is often hard to wait, and often hard to see the next step, but God always knows how to take care of us, we simply have to ask...
