Crazy?!

I had another person  tell me we are "crazy" to adopt two teenagers last night. It is funny I used to be a person who worried about what people said about me. I can not express the peace knowing this the path we are suppose to be on and the peace from the Lord is stronger than the voices all around me! As I look back in time it is the people who did what the inner voice or drive told them to do.  ex. Build a boat with no prior experience to cross the "many waters" Planes can fly ! Electricity is real and on and on. I am a little nervous about the challenges  ahead hope we are mentally and spirituality prepare enough to be ready to help them heal and grow.. I know if I ask humbly the Lord will guide us! This impossible or crazy thing can be done with his help!

Packing!

Less than two weeks until we leave  !I am half pack as I read and read what people say to take ( I am trying to keep it light!)  A few question about how many Thank you gift will I need, I am great on the females but what about the males! I think I read the water is terrible so is a filter bottle a good idea? As # 5 would say" Input I need input!"

IT is positive

Our SDA date is Aug 16!

Waiting for the Positvie Pregancy Test

Every few hours  I check my email praying it will tell me when my SDA  appt is! When there is nothing  it feels like a negative pregnancy test! Soon I will  will open that email and there will be a "positive" It was so wonderful after another Sunday of Fasting ( I should be skinny by now) to find the email that said The SDA is continue to function until the new office is up and running and that we should hear this week!

Golden Ticket!

I am shaking! I am awaiting the fax with my Golden Ticket This is true! Then flying up the road to the Capital to get it Apostille!Then I will then send it with a family on Sun to Ukraine. Finally we are so close I can almost feel my arms around  our kids!

Two steps forward and a giant step back!

Ugh! Sunday I taught a Sunday school class on gratitude and how we are happier if we are grateful even in our trials .I even challenged them  if they where having a bad day to find the things to be grateful for. so Yesterday was a horrible very bad day! If started with  the USCIS  telling me there are 2 important things missing  so I will not be sending our golden ticket Ukraine this week .  David and I yelling as we are trying to move a  couch in to our new house  (well I am more crying  over scratches  on my new door and furniture.) our Landlord tells me the insurance did not send the rent this month and could he show the house tomorrow!( NO! I am thinking we have been spending every waking moment at the new house to finish it) Ok where are the blessings!  mmmmm I am getting a new house. I will make to our kid on the lords time table. ( I just want to be on a plane week week!) My husband did get up at 3 am this morning with me to start the 20 loads of laundry and clean the house for the showing. There is more, but the dryer just buzzed, only 18 loads on wash left!

more questions!

What is the fastest way to get paper work to Ukraine other than sending with someone? I have been told by USCIS I will get my paperwork Monday  Is it possible to get it to SDA  by WED?
